my money pit (92gt)

[LX2NV]

well, i have had this car about 2 months now and finally i think i have it about ready to drop a motor in it. i just finished running brake lines and line locks, and got the hydraulic system buttoned up and bled. got most of the bugs worked out of the suspension. got the car wired with all of the wires soldered, simplified, wrapped up and out of sight.... wiring was somewhat of a mess. got the interior back in. fuel system sorted out, i need a pump and bulkhead fittings still. basically i had to pick up where someone else left off...... thats the worst in my opinion,the car came with coffee cans full of nuts and bolts, but i think i got the boring stuff about knocked out and now i'm ready to move on to the fun stuff. i got a high compression 358 for it along with a tko tranny. i still got a ways to go yet, so i get to take pics. of you guys from the grandstands for a couple months.

[Darkhorse]

Damn dude that's a badass ride from what I can see.

thanks aaron, right now it feels like its never gonna roll when i think about all the little stuff. i'm sure you know the feeling.

[GTkyle]

Wow that car is immaculate!! Looks like you've made good progress! What kind of wheel HP numbers are you estimating the 358 will make n/a?

[One Sweet Day]

wow! looks really good! nice color too!:thumb_beer_cheers:

[LX2NV]

i'm hoping for 380-400 range n/a, then late this year or next i'll hit it with a 100 shot.

[LX2NV]

update... i scored a set of charcoal flofit seats for 100 bucks ! this kind of thing rarely happens to me, i'm ecstatic. they are 5-6 years old, like the car... old school, but they are damm near mint. found them in some classifieds, some doctor in pittsburgh had them. motor is about done, 11.1:1 compression, still waiting on my heads (192 canfields) at the machine shop, having the springs set up and the seats touched up. got my camshaft innovations custom cam .600", .592" along with some comp roller lifters. i will keep the specs a secret though. it is suppose to run on pump gas no problem. cam grinder told me on saturday night run it down to a 1/8th tank and add 5 gallons of race fuel and crank the timing to 35 total. problem is this thing wont see the light of day until next year, damm thing is sucking up way more money than i thought it would. still need a hood, streeing wheel, cooling system, distributor, valve covers, air cleaner, harnesses, mufflers, pullies and all kinds of other small stuff that really add up and is slowing me down to a hault as i have other projects around the house now. the car is comming out really nice, you all should get a kick out of it when i'm done.

[LX2NV]

pretty girl up on jack stands though....

[thetraitor]

Nice! Sounds like a badass setup, looks great.

[LX2NV]

thanks, this thing ought to be a animal when i'm done with it. should have a set of lips on it for what i have in it.

Are you gonna keep it fuel injected, or go with a carb setup?

vic. jr., demon 750, i got a sumped return style arermotive setup. it's more of a "all buisness" car, i'm not building it to sit in traffic, although it will. i can't wait to hear the compression and the cam through the longtubes. :rock:

A 750 sounds a little small for a 408. I had a Demon 750 on my old 357. With the 420, I have a 1000 cfm Demon.

[Darkhorse]

Man i'm busting my butt so I can get it streetable without being embarrassing. I wanna get out that way to Rootstown and to the A&W for some cruising. I'm thinking about going out there tomorrow night, if it doesn't make me sick driving this thing in the city :beef:

anytime man, i love to bs. i'm only 20 min east of summit.

[resurection]

just curious, why are you running two line locks?

[LX2NV]

just curious, why are you running two line locks?

because i have the 4 wheel disc cobra r master/booster setup, it requires a gutted prop. valve, thus. i have to run a line lock on each front wheel. i have a ssbc adj. prop valve with a pressure gauge going to the rear.

[resurection]

ok. That makes sense. I thought you were doing it for over kill. Car looks very clean. I like it.

I just got done with my Strange manual master cylinder swap, with a new Hurst line lock. Had to cut bend and flare all of my lines as well. Thinking about going with a kit from Maximum Motorsports that I saw MMFF do an article on. It comes with Hawk front pads and rear shoes, steel braided lines, and solid caliper mounts for $250. Car stopped about 40' shorter from 60mph with this kit. But, $250 is almost halfway to Strange, Willwood, or Aerospace kit. We'll see. The car goes alot faster now, so I want it to stop good as well!

[LX2NV]

yeah, you got to have a good set of binders. even with low vacume because of my radical cam i'm hoping mine should still put me through the windshield, combined with the 8 point cage and 5 pt. harnesses, should be pretty safe street car. for a budget sn brakes on a fox are stellar but you would have to swap wheels though.

[resurection]

I upgraded the fronts from the 9" stock rotors to the 10.85" rotors from a 91 coupe. One of the best mods I ever did to my car.

yeah, on my 85 on the spray, about 114mph, i always took the last run off so i didn't melt the grease out of the wheel bearings ! thompson, it seemed to me like you dont have much shut down, i found myself wanting more brakes. i'm the parinoid type though.

[LX2NV]

re-worked the coil overs, set the ride height, eyeballed a alignment, repositioned some brake lines, got all the wiring done (for now), powdercoated my c/c plates because even my step mom asked why they were 2 different colors ? everything else is gravy work from here on in, just don't have the funds to complete at the moment, but it WILL be out first thing in the spring. heres a few pics of her on the ground with her newfound windsor between her strut towers. i think i gave her a pretty nice stance, i gave the coil overs a little extra to account for "settling"....

what can i say... i try !

[LX2NV]

is been a couple months since i did a update so...., the garage is a mess with 2 cars in it so i really can't take any pictures at the moment, but.... i got the car to the point where as i get the few items needed, it will be plug and play...cooling fan(s) are wired, but no cooling fans to put on it (or radatior). i need a distributor, but when i get one all i have to to is plug it in, everything is wired 100%. fuel system is plumbed, brakes are bled, alignment is eyeballed. i still need a 3" cowl hood, seat brackets for my flofits (115 bucks each), and a tach and water temp gauge. paint work to have the hood properly blended, and a rear seat delete of sorts and shes done. sounds simple right ? money is the issue at the moment from keeping this thing rolling. all i need is 5 or 6 more transmissions to rebuild to get this thing finished ! i will get some recent pics up soon, everything came out pretty nice, the wiring is almost non existant.

So if its running, does that mean it'll make it out of the garage this year??

yes

i have been sick as hell with a 102 temp for the last few days, haven't been out to the garage. i had the typical pump/plate,plate/block water pump gasket issues. i just got all of the water leaks worked out..... this thing is MEAN as hell !, i'm kinda scared of it. i was going to get some video but before i had a chance my wife came out screaming at me... this thing knocks things off the shelves and walls !!! , so i will try again later today or tomorrow......

then get your ass over hear and check out REAL compression and a REAL cam for yourself. i'd love to plunk down the money to finish everything if i wasn't laid off from my job right now.

edit: aint no mufflers going to quiet down this thing.

paint the hood and tie up some loose ends in the interior, still need mufflers, and swap the gear out and she's done ! man i want to drive this thing....!

thanks, those are nasty pictures. looks much better in daylight.

Nice!

[GT Tangerine]

Beautiful car Man, Looks awesome!:drool: Cant wait to see it sometime cruisin!

[LX2NV]

got my seat brackets in the other day (big bucks) and got the drivers seat in. these are some old school flofits, something that you would have seen back in the 90's. i got a smoking deal on these off a doctor in pittsburgh. they fit around my cage like they were made to. just barley cleared my thru floors. i need to drop the tank back down and fabricate a rear seat delete and carpet the rear and mount a battery box. this thing is starting to look like a car !

[DsmFighter]

Looks good matt!

[LX2NV]

took it out tonight for the first time. it drove, stopped, shifted, and ran perfect ! ... better than i expected for the first run out. i was paranoid because of my compression and the 3.27 gear that is currently in the car, the cam was ground for a 4.10 and i didn't want to load the motor too much. i took some timing out of it for a little insurance down to 28 total, which i feel to be conservative. after i made several light trips around my country block (approx 3-4 miles) and brought it home to check on things and started to lay into it a little since the shortblock was all ready broken in. its got nuts for sure ! even with no timing and the 3.27, i think its the fastest thing that i (personally) have driven (without nitrious). once i get the 4.10s in it and start playing with the tune this thing is going to fly ! i still have alot of stuff to buy before i start driving this thing . the vitals after about 45 minutes of running/driving seemed to be 178-190 deg. driving and 178- 200 deg. on about a 10 minute hot idle. oil pressure was 38-40psi hot idle and 60psi+ at rpm hot. seems to me high compression motors create substanially more heat. although, i am running almost straight glycol in it right now though, i need to get some straight water and water wetter in it. i should be getting the 4.10 in it soon, stay tuned..........

[omegagodly]

man that thing is definitely nice. very clean, and the engine bay is immaculate. that definitely be something i'd love to build. very nice toy.

[GTkyle]

Glad to see it's doin good!

[DsmFighter]

Dang your build is REALLY clean...

[LX2NV]

ok, got the rear end in (4.10) and installed to absoulte perfection ! and i mean right ! it just blows the tires off now. traction WILL be a issue for me, i will deal with this as we roll. i want the tuning sorted out first. a BIG thanks to sean at SLP for the use of his wideband. i will get a good base line tune on it this comming week, given the weather we will have this week. i simply don't have the time anymore for street tuning. i had to get a wideband. AND i also dropped the hood off for paint today, terry at SLP is taking on that task. this thing should be ready to show off in a week or two, i still need to fabricate a rear seat delete yet too. thanks for all the comments and those who followed.

thank you. compression is killer when used right ! also gets ugly when used wrong. i'm still learning motors like this, so who knows.... i might have the thing grenaded in a month or two, i'm pushing everything to the limit. f'it i guess..... my biggest regret at this point is not using better internals. we'll see how hard i can push the stuff. i didn't scrimp in my top end and cam/valvetrain, i got a ton of cash up top. so when it goes, i hope it leaves the top end intact. thats all i ask !

your bottom end will be fine I am stock rod and crank and buzz it 7500 with a hyd. shaft so far no issues tore it down over winter and checked everything and it all looks new still. just keep good fuel in it detonation is all you have to worry about find also find your leanest cyl and place a pyro gauge in it helps a bunch when it comes to tuning it more accurate then a wideband. I will have to get ahold of you sometime and check your car out getting ready to build a 15:1 357 for mine and always wanted to check out a windsor swap car that kept the man pedal.

awsome ! i do have confidence in the lower end, i'm spinning this thing about 6700-6900. the possibility of detonation scared me to the point that i got a wideband before i really started cranking on it. the the "man pedal" is the only way to go, imo, keeps the "sport" of it.

[L8Apexer]

I know where you can get some tires for traction, cheap.

harnesses are in, it's a eerie feeling being strapped in. i put a drag bag in the right rear to level the car out like the eibach drag springs. my rear springs are h&r 350#. ideally, i know a anti roll bar is in order for drag traction, but my car spends the majority of the time on the street so it has a panhard bar. the bag is to level the car at the track. still waiting on my hood. i have also been tweaking the carb. rear seat delete should be comming soon too. i included a couple pics of various transmissions in progress too, there's a t5 (top shaft) and the bottom shaft is a t45 (look how much more beefier !)......

nope, just a stock t-45 output shaft. above it in the middle is the cluster out of a t45.

[LX2NV]

hood is back on and painted, terry @ street lethal performance is one HELL of a painter. the texture, color, metallic, it's godamm perfect ! anyone who knows me, knows how picky i am. remember, he just painted the hood, not a fendertop blend. 17 year old paint and it matches perfect. i'm impressed, i didn't think i'd be this lucky. i'll get some pictures up soon. the tune/carb is just about done, just a occasional minor light throttle tip in surge, i'm perfecting the driveabilty, i need to start giving it more timing, that'd probablly correct it. tonight it ran like efi though, me and pat ran through kent/ravenna, and i came in from y/town. i had no issues, 160-170 degrees, 40-60psi oil pressure. no hiccups or hesitations, clean idle. nice night.

[PEDD01GT]

car looks phenomenal Matty.....had a blast wakin' up Kent a little tonight! Gotta show em' what a couple of carbed foxes sound like thumpin' through town every now and again ya know! LOL>> Can't wait to see her run.....11's for sure....

thanks, pat... it's always fun. too bad we couldn't find some wussies to pick on :crying:. it gets to the point where i'm not digging the attention at stoplights. i don't like being stared at ! seriously. it's making me feel old, few of the younger dudes have seen stuff like this, so they just stare..... hell, when i was a kid a musclecar (hotrod) was super common, no big deal......? my car is NOT that radical, and people just stare. i have anxiety to begin with, i wear sunglasses when i drive it, it helps.........


thats the thing with you turbo and s/c and blower guys, you can keep it stealthy. if i want my windsor to make power... it's going to be loud.

[thetraitor]

:rock: Seems like it finally came together?

i can't believe it, but yes !! if it wasn't for the transmission rebuilding, it would still be sitting in pieces. so, thanks everyone !!

[LX2NV]

terry johnson can paint !!! he runs a very high quality body shop inside street lethal performance. yes, that's a butt match with 17 year old paint. if it looks different to you in the pics, it's just the way the light is hitting, i was in the direct sunlight and it plays games with matallics. it's spot on ! i couldn't have asked for anything better, and i'm picky. i highly reccomend him to anyone looking for a factory finish. i need some center caps, anyone have any ?

the car is dirty here, nevermind the bugs.....

wow very nice fox. i love the two tone hatchback gt foxes. its what started my interest in mustangs

The word on the street is that Jake's car is loud due to a Walmart cherry bomb exhaust that was improperly installed....... and from what I hear, he doesn't even have a supercharger; rather just a power steering pump issue........

[LX2NV]

what the hell, i'll do a little update. the thread was dying. :D

sold my demon, which was totally the wrong carb for my car. it was all i had at the time. what i have now is far more suited for my motor. it's not a $1000 holley, but it is a $600 proform race 750. this carb is considered a "HP" style (what i need), it has more adjustments then i know what to do with :D (good thing). it's botled up, full of fuel, floats set, and ready to fire... just no time, will be a day or two yet. then it's off to the dyno in a week or two (or 3) to do some "self tuning" if necessary (i'm hoping terry will let me run it)....i set it up to the best of my ability so we'll see. i'm fighting traction with the 17's, along with my inability to drive the god damm thing.... so i want to see the numbers so i have a better idea of what this thing "should" run since i never have time to take it to the track it seems. keep ya' all posted !

sorry about the late night dark garage pics.........

[LX2NV]

yeah, i know it's purple.... it is what it is. in natural daylight it's more of a magenta, just a few shades off from the rest of my red anadized stuff.

[LX2NV]

first trip out with the new carb was better than 2 months of screwing with the demon. even with this thick ass, humid air, it ran damm near perfect ! i'm impressed. i can't tell if it runs stronger, but it's driveability manners are what they should be. typical double pumper fat idle, im going to try bumping the low speed bleeds from 70 to 72 and see if it thins the circuit a bit. otherwise, it feels spot on. i probablly should leave it alone. :)


dyno or track.... ? here i come ! whichever comes first !

[LX2NV]

man, this thing runs so much better it pisses me off. i wasted SO much time with that demon, and i knew better the whole time.... holleys are for fords ! sometimes i get so stubborn i won't quit trying to make something work. so the last 2 months of headaches was because i was being stubborn and i didn't want my car down. http://steelcitystangs.com/forums/images/smilies/Angry/duh.gif man, was it worth the week or two of down time !
