New to board, first new gen of the f body, previosly only collected 70-73
I got a great deal on a 97 Formula with a forged new 383 and beefy automatic. Passed on a low mile ws6 just because this motor was done and thats a boatload of work.
I need to upgrade my springs/shocks
also looking for a ws6 hood, in red preferably, cheaper than getting one at glasstek or somewhere. Drivers door in red or the skin.
springs want no more than 1, 1.5 lower, performance but street. I have vette 18/17 wheels on it now, so anyone with that setup let me know clearance issues.
also looking for brake upgrades...rotors, pads, even caliper swaps.
3.73 gears
panhard and torque arm, strut tower brace
shocks would like kyb adjustable or qa adjustable.
also round or small oval mufflers that flow great and sound mean. the idiot put fake glasspacks with duals, so ok, but not what I want.
LAST, HEADERS. the car has a timeslip of 12.1 with bbk shorties. he pulled cause of noise and put manifolds on and lost headers. The exhaust is set up for them, but imagine any shortie will be close.
dont care if coated or not, just not rusted out, the paint doesnt stick when you paint them.
may also look for ram air set up, maybe a rpm intake too.
