Main thing is I wanna start body work on the 86 once it gets bad outside. That way I wont have anything to do and can devote time to the car.

as for a shopping list.....
The 4th gen:
a set of DR's
3.90 or 4.10 rear

Thirdgen:
Tubular K and A-Arms
Interior parts (headliner, carpet, doorpanels)
Tranny rebuild
New rearend

Silverado:
New plugs, wires and trans filter. Bought all this a while ago and never installed them. :lol:

Bike:
Maybe a different style seat, or some chrome pieces but nothing much. Its just going to sit on the battery tender.

Daily saturn:
Tires brakes and a muffler.

Hopefully the 383 will be fixed by spring. For now the stock shortblock is almost reinstalled.

Might have a line on a bigger Supercharger?

Also redoing most of the wiring harness to clean up the engine bay.

And my wife just did the delete Ford mod! Traded in the POS escape for a new trailblazer! Of course, that does mean less mod money for the Z....

Not brand specific here love both, Mach's run very similar to Ls1's and terminators will crush them. Ive had 2 Lt1's and a Ls1 just thinking its time for a change.

You might get a Mach that run with a 98-00 LS1, but I've never seen a Mach in the 12's stock. The only car I've seen run with them stock is the 03-04 Cobra. What the hell is a Terminator mustang? Get which one you want to get, don't let us knuckle heads jade you.

Mach's run the same times as LS1's including 00-02's, they just dont trap as high. Dont see many 6spd ls1's running 12's stock either. Terminator mustang is a 03-04 Cobra...Think John Colleti head of SVT came up w/ it.

T-Type: Install new fuel pumps and fuel tank. Bleed brakes. Get it running and ship it out to Savitske's to have the front end sorted out, and have a bunch of other things done that I don't feel like doing. Also looking into new flat black paint job with skull/barbed wire graphics.

AMX: Take care of belt throwing problem, finish wiring up electric fans, and get it back into storage.

Cavalier: Install headers, Random Tech cat, and Borla exhaust. Play with tuning via HP Tuners.

terminator stangs are nasty this guy i used to work with that had his pushing 630+ to wheels and he drove it on street he did cams pully swap full SLP kit and tune

procamaroz28 10-28-2007 07:47 PM

but still take LS1 over that b/c much lighter N/A motor, could be supercharged to to make better results, better handling car although i think stang is built better but make sure ur ready to take care of the rear and thats on both cars b/c ford's IRS sucks alot more than GM's 7.5"

I have a HUGE list of things i am doing this winter once i get my motor back from the machine shop. Prep and paint subframe, Assemble motor, electric water pump, new motor mounts, and then put subframe back under car. Redo front brakes drilled and slotted and new pads. If anyone is up for taking a ride up to hackettstown this winter and lending a hand at some point feel free to PM me.

Install the HSR I have sitting here and if the funds allow it buy and install a tubular K with A-Arms. Redo all bushings.

post up how that HSR compares to TPI. I know it'll raise your RPM and powerband but at the same time it'll distribute your power more evenly so you won't have that gut wrenching low end torque...at least so I've heard. I'm just curious because I'd like to throw together a 400 sbc I have with the HSR or possibly upgrade the TPI and just use the HSR again later down the road.
