Excuse the blurriness. This camera sucks.

SS Hood (needs some adjustment still), and a nose that's the right color and has the right brackets to the the !huge gap mod

And the car as it sits now... after I got home from DE where I got the hood and nose, the tranny decided it didnt want any gears besides 1st and 3rd. Swap is now in the near future.

Looks good! What's the weight difference between your stock hood and the SS hood?

Thanks all :-D

Weight difference, I'll put it this way. with the stock latch i had to slam the hell outta this hood, did that all of two times lol before i swapped in the latch the guy gave me (lighter pressure) at pauls house. Also he gave me two hood shocks that are lighter pressure than stock, well they stil flung the thing up so I took one out.

Is it a factory SS hood, or is 'glass?

He's had a rebuilt trans for a while.

:lol: thanks all again

Not going with the box for it... too much $$ for what it'd gain (minimal amount) over the SLP CAI I already have

And the wheel gap looks a lot worse there than it actually is... jackstands on k-member = higher than the tirestands the tires are on

No problem bud, glad I could help you out!

Speaking of which, what tranny do you have? Another friend is parting out a 93Z, I think that makes it a 700R4?

I think it was rebuilt, I know it has a shift kit in it and he is asking $400, he won't ship, but I can handle the delivery.

v8 and v6 trannies arent interchangeable, and 93s as you know are the bastard years for a lot... including the non-comp controlled auto, 94+ is comp controlled


I've got one sitting here anyway. Thanks though

The 91, 92, and 93 F-body automatic was called the 4L60. It was just a 700R4 with a name change. In '94 they started using the 4L60e, which was the same trans with electronic controls.

My car is NOT a bastard. Looks good tho, but one question. Not defneded another v6 guy with a firebird but didnt that guy get reemed for putting V8 crap on a 6 banger? Why doesnt Kasey get the same hounding?

So when should I come over to ripp ur blown tranny out?

now if kasey goes and puts an SS spoiler on his car, picks up some ZR1's and slaps some SS badges on there, he WILL get made fun of!

Badges weigh to much for kasey to go putting them on his car!
