OK a little history on the car before i start the project plans.
bought the car in October 26, 2007 exactly 7 years since it left the assembly line October 26, 2000. the car was ordered with zero options from the factory actually has things deleted. in 2001 was the first year for On Star and the car has the $20 option that deleted it. it also cam with floor mats delete other then that it had just enough to be a 2dr. but one option code BQ2 actually explains why. BQ2 is the option code for AVIS rental car fleet convertion. still have no idea what all that entails but it also had Calli emissions and was never any where near Calli staid in AZ until 2006
here is how it looked when i bought it stock standard AVIS white rental fleet blah
car was great had the GM 3800 series II N/A engine L36 and the 4T65-E 130,000 miles. but at 134,000 the trans went out coming back up from Detroit so seeing as i was in auto tech and had to rebuilt a trans any way took out the engine and the trans and since the engine was all ready out of the car i decided to rebuild it where i found a nifty little bit of info on the engine. it was replaced at 100,000 so it was not even broke in yet lol
so i bought an aftermarket cam from a XP-HOT cam from comp cams, a top end from the supercharged version of the 3800 the L67, double roller stiffer valve springs, and a higher stall converter and a bunch of other boring trans stuff :D
here are some old pics
the sub frame with the original factory 134,000 mile struts
the engine with the cam and double roller installed ;D
a 1974 Corvette Stingray 454 4speed muncie 8) school Restoration project (my car is right under it)
random useless N/A parts
the frame to the '74 'vette 8)
headers on ready for sub frame
something is missing ???
on the sub frame 8)
closer pic of the headers and engine
i just really like this pic 8)
it looks so empty :'(
it's in ;D
after this i drove it a bit changed the looks a few times and put the stock manis back on (the headers keepted leaking and would not seal)
i then dynoed the car. made 261 WHP and ran 12.98 @107MPH not to shabby for being mostly stock GM parts engines just a 9.2:1 compression, 3.4" over drive pulley(stock is 3.8"), and ant the time stock manifolds and a 3" down pipe
and then i found some used stainless steel headers they are copy's of the SLP headers for the W-body they fit great and have no leaks
and this is how the car sits to day
now the trans has started to slip after only 13,000 miles i know why it's bleeding off pressure in the valve body the valves in it have ware so that's going to get replaced. the injectors are also leaking they where used so no big deal injectors are cheap also plan on doing suspension work because it needs it. also got a modular pulley system for the car so i can drop to a smaller pulley also going to get a lap top tuner for the car looking at HP tuners so i can get all the power i can from this car
