no pics yet, so nothing too exciting. just got back from africa, so trying to get some ****(non car related) taken care of.

anyway, my Super Alloy($$$ #@%^*(&) valves should be here first thing next week, the rest of my valvetrain is here. heads are 80% done. installed my BMR front suspension(all tubular) and it is NICE. BMR does some sweet work.

looking at dropping in the motor next week at the latest..... gotta be careful not to scratch the new pretty paint

 

Sweet. I was on your site and saw you had painted the engine bay, and thought since my motor is out to, I'll do the same.

This is Neal by the way, from Albuquerque, NM. Nicks buddy. I'm sure you remember him.

 

You going ith AFR's Jordon? Man, we got to see some pics of that motor before you drop it in...Get some pics of the front suspension also..

Jordan: what transmission are you planning on running?

cody-
yes, AFRs. no worries, plenty of pics of front suspension and motor before they go in

pony-
yea, I spent about $250 on supplies and stuff. was worth it tho. I am 2nd guessing not using por 15 tho. paint just isnt that tough.. por15 is

Rich-
stock T56 for now, I intend to build this extra t56 I have with a viper main shaft, and some other stuff from the viper.

 

pics of front suspension goodness!

what shocks are those?

 

Looks like Bilsteins (probably revalved) with Ground Control coilovers.

Jordon: Any concerns regarding the longevity of the rod ended lower A-arms? Or has the car been retired from daily driver duty?

Keep up the good work!

 

soma is on the money revalved bilstiens.


its still a daily driver. I have been running spherical bearings on the rear for almost 2 years with out any problems, they still look new. you just have to run rubber seals!

 

ahh, I thought those were bilstiens, just didn't recognize the ground control kit. Is that a new setup for you, or something you had before? How versitile is it? (street, strip, road coarse?)

It all looks good!

 

Damn that's purdy.

 

birdie-thanks
timber-
the BMR stuff is all new. the car is a road course/street/autoX car that gets drag raced. ie, the suspension is all setup for autoX, but with big enough tires it still hooks good

Other changes from my old setup are slightly(40lbs or so) softer springs, and more sway bar front and rear(up 2mm)

 

Jordon, are these AFR heads you will use in your new turbo'd motor 220cc? also is that new turbo'd motor a 383?

 

turbo motor is 383

heads are AFR 190s, with more porting

 

Jordon. thanks for the reply. i have a question, do you think the GTP stage 2 AFR 220cc LT4 heads that i'm doing now by Craig are too big for a YS-trim supercharged 396 LT1? do you think going with a 383 is better?

because i saw you are doing 190cc AFR heads for your turbo 383 and they are even smaller than the 210cc AFR heads you did for your NA 401 LT1?
