FD3... S? You have more than one?

This car started out as an auto with a blown motor. I went with Granny's Kit, Granny's clutch master, Koyo Rad, Supra Pump, refurbed pedals etc. KDR in PA did the conversion. Pez did the harness and PoohPoohStar_FC_LS6 supplied the drivetrain. I went LT1 because I wanted to keep the stock suspension geometry and stock hood. All gauges and lights work. The stock (auto) oil cooler was plumbed in. I'm happy I skipped the PS. I have an AC kit standing by, we'll see how I feel about that when I am sitting in summer traffic...
Also before I hurt Pez's feelings again, Pez pointed out a while back that I could have kept the stock FD suspension geometry with an LSx if I cut the firewall and moved the engine back a few inches. That being said I am happy with the way the car came out with the LT1.
so happy for man glad its all working for you man have fun with it
After 1 shop, 1 shade tree mechanic, 1 more shop, and 3 starters it looks like my FD is finally on its way to having its electrical issues sorted out. Current assessment is that there is a short on the signal wire to the starter. Should be back up and running soon.
The LT1 is officially for sale, if anybody wants it pm me. I got it from a member on this site. I am going to keep the T56. LS2 is in the works but not gonna be rushed.
It would be nice to finally enjoy my car a little bit this season.
Wow after 3 years and a lot of drama, I finally know what you guys have all been talking about.
T-O-R-Q-U-E
Gotta have it.
Shaun the LT1/T56 pulls like a beast. Got a Pro 5.0 shifter which is much better than the POS I had before. Car is mechanically sorted at this point.
Fixes:
- Rebuilt harness
- Starter relay
- South Bend stage 3 clutch
- New clutch fork
- BC coilovers
- Improved Racing end links
- Depowered rack
<Go>
Hahaha, I still want to upgrade to LSX at some point soon. If my LT1 is a beast I can't wait to see what an LS1-2-3 could do. Plus I am interested in the new Sikky FD kit that's coming out soon.
Somebody made it rain up in my clutch
As it sits now:
LOl about time you get the hell out with the car man!! glad you are having fun man! i was out all day with my fc it was great!
