You still got that thing CC?
Gotta drop a 460 in it and go huntin!


Hyundai has come a long way,one car co I never thought would make it.
Remember when they had the Excel back in the 80s, those things could take MAJOR long term abuse and stay reliable.

Your kids fortunate hes got someone to get him going in a car hope he appreciates it.

Miss those days, late 80s/90s almost any day of the week there would be a run spot. Wed meet about 8 or so and go from place to place til the wee hours of the morning man those were good times. About 1-2am the trailered cars would show up or sometimes they would get ballsy and drive them out.
Now the streets are empty except for some imports "racing" on a 100 yrd stretch if that.
Things have changed over the years.

Slightly clearer clip here....was a little on the rich side but recently fixed it so its nice and snappy now
What Id give for a new 830 and a nice mandrel bent exh syetem thats quiet

Been looking for that"scene" out here too Im afraid its dead. Too risky as they can take your car and crush it.
Id probably get wasted anyway mines tame compared to most out there these days.

Bet its plenty driaveable too many are afraid to run solids these days. They are MUCH tamer manner wise than what they read on paper. SR Im using now has more vacuum and better manners than my old hyd. FT that was over 10 deg smaller and /170 less lift! Go figure

These are the threads I really dig thanks for posting.

Thats going to be a strong runner for sure, bet it makes your power estimate possibly even better. What did the heads wind up making number wise-

That sb should sound nasty.

A good solid BM makes me smile.

Wow cant even imagine how that launch musta felt, cool!

I feel better now.

Yeah I know my exhaust sounds like ass.

Still dealing with a finicky carb, slowly getting it leaned out..About 6-7 miles on it so far just looking and listening for problems. Overall cant find much wrong other than just little stuff dont want to jinx myself though.
Going to recheck valve lash once more change the oil again and go for broke lol.
Still gotta put emblems some trim on etc. Little sheit
pleased overall drives like a brand new car, not a freshened up old one.


Just a short put on the primaries part throttle.

Id keep looking you can get a Z06 for that price.

There are a LOT of C5s for sale lousy economy youre in the drivers seat here.

Will has some good things to say always not anything to really add.

I can say with a "0" deck actually 5 thou in the hole and a flat top Im getting away with 670 gross lift bet youll be fine but still doublecheck also teh balancing too. Better to do it now and know rather than turn the key and know its coming back out.

Those are easy to work on believe it or not nothing really in the way;they are so reliable though youll probably never have to touch it they just dont seem to leak or break. Just stay away from the magnetic ride suspension (right term?) the shocks are STUPID expensive.

Kinda...think the clutch has to come back out has a slight vibration about 2k. Betting the PP wasnt clocked on the FW right. Had some weight removed from teh back of it and assuming when balanced he used the greasepen marks that centerforce did but see nothing. It was done yrs ago so he doesnt remember. Ill be fn pissed if this has to come out again.
Ill spend more time in it weds to make sure. @#@%
Always something but thats what happens when you screw with stuff I guess.

Quote:

Dont blame ya I hated working on mine, nothing about it seems pleasant or easy too much crap in the way and with a TPI its a puzzle, has to go back together in a certain order otherwise youll be tearing it down yet again to go back and get it right.

Sure spoiled with carbs, 10 min 8 bolts and its out.

Honestly Id never do it again (frame off) it was so mentally and financially exhausting....been ready to give up and part it out a million times just couldnt do it.
Done everything 2-3 times over due to bad parts, crappy labor or getting ripped off period but thats the way it goes.

Will always need something which is usually fun stuff, nickel and dime thats the fun part.

Just hoping theres no driveline vibes at higher speeds nothing major. Rest can be done here and there.

New car without the payment is the way I see it..and no computer controls

Drive the 67 today bout 3 miles or so

Wow.....dont know what to say was kinda nervous actually.

Drives like a brand new car off the lot, turns quick stops well and ....its LOUD when you give it any gas at all. Same exhaust I had on the last motor and it seemed so much quieter on it guess this one moves a little more air.

Gotta button up a few minor details then take it out again.

Front end still needs to come up a touch that will be next.

Damn this thing sounds good!

Gotta get up in 4 hrs for work, been up for 20 hrs and dont even care lol.

Needs a couple odds and ends that can be done anytime.
I have no idea how Ill be able to wait before standing on this thing its hard....lol

Ill get some good pics and vid in a couple days when I have time off.

Cunningham anywhere near you maybe he could help out just a thought. Get the 928 its a supercool car.

Hit up blown87 on CF he knows everthing about those cars down to the last detail huge wealth of know how and a decent guy. Hes in GA I think.

Think its awesome, nice work. It would cost a ton more Id think to do that let alone the downtime and frustration of DIY. Althouh I like doing my own wrenching if I was flush with cash I could see the sense in writing a check for a done one and moving on.

id spend the extra 60..rebuilts, in my mind says youll spend a lifetime replacing their pumps lol.

Im 6'3 and remember my left knee being stuck in one position between the door panel and the wheel theres no room in those. In fact the elbow and head were friendly with the door parnels and window too.
Put a smaller wheel on and you may be Ok.
Got tilt?

Shoot seems Im always cleaning organizing and throwing stuff out, cant stand clutter. Threw out 7 truckloads of parts and "stuff" when I moved a few months ago and seems little by little it starts piling back up. Lots of stuff to ebay. Now that the cars done got some spares Im gonna let go of and create some space. May let go of the cherry picker and eng stand too, dont know when Id use them again.

Only been used once. Course murphys law says if I sell the picker Ill have an engine problem and need it maybe Ill let it collect more dust.

Tommy went to those for years back in the early 90s it helped. Seemed I couldnt walk out the front door without getting locked up lol. Eventually stopped attending as I felt the crowd started hating if you did something with your life, or youd relapse if you didnt let them (more drunks) run your life...maybe its different where you are

Good place to start if you are really having a problem stopping or staying stopped. If I can say get and offer what you can in the halls but dont bring them to your home or let them too far in your personal life even if they have time. Hate to sound bad but learned lessons too many times.

Some become more alert thieves thats all lol

Upon doing some cleaning I found a big book printed a few decades ago was the first or 2nd edition, might just pass it along if youre in need just ask

Dont know the requiremets you have on smog check into it..with a good tune I bet you pass.

LE is high fn stress for sure. What you deal with outside and inside the office....its how you deal with it as said above.

only your state can tell you yes or no on the permit.

Im going to take the class and get mine, finally get a piece for when I have the 67 out noones taking this one from me period. Little easier for me I heard being as Im already in that field. Well see.

Think long and hard though its a lot of responsibility and not a toy you flash because you have one on you....that can have you sleeping on a 2" foam mat for a long time.


JR Rifle Coach has a good deal of know how on this maybe he can pipe in. Ill be hitting him up when the times right to see what piece would be right for me.

on the shroud that uses the single fan what is the opening size and width/lenth of the shroud?

Dig the black rose color manual ac cloth seats.
To me a strippy is a plus

6 spd?

Maybe...

Datalog and get some real feedback about what its doing at all conditions.

Sounds good Pete, nice and pipey

Havent seen the LT1 specific mini yet but imo the L98 mini trumps the LT1 piece, plenum appears a good bit larger or more area at leat with less obstructions inside-much better piece to start with.

Sound quality is horrible, vacuum leak and needs some tuning but its something nonetheless. Never had an idle issue til I wanted to make a clip then it acts up lol

Havnt converted the eletric sending unit of the trans to my cable so unless the tires show something Ill never know.

Thanks...

Heres a short version hate typing lol

Wont get it til tomorrow still having more electrical issues with gauges looks like Ill have to figure this one out myself scary being as everythign is new but thats what happens when everythign is torn apart.May be down for a bit more damn

Somehow the guy went through 2 gal gas troubleshooting electrical....time to get it out If I find it was driven Ill flip. No ins registration or rearend fluid.

unfortunately I sold all the heads on ebay awhile back too much stuff laying around.

Heard nothing but good so far they look real nice.
Like to try a set when I wear these MTs out

THanks...couldnt get the stupid thing to record Ill have to try again.

Thankfully no leaks vibrations or anything funny.

This thing sounds sick, every bit as radical as a Winston cup car.


NOTHING sounds as wicked as a big solid roller I love it!

Ill get a vid soon.

[QUOTE]WTF? That's not an LT5. Sissy.[/QUOTE]
lol This is better than an LT5 its nasty temperamental sounding and straight up wicked;it makes no sense being on the street but thats what does it for me..
Will it last 200k no, if it lasted 20k hard miles Id be happy only used to put 2-3k a yr on it anyway by then Ill be bored with it long before then if I dont break it first.

Seriously LT5 is a great motor and very stout with porting but personally I like calling Summit and having parts I can bolt on easily in a few minutes, personalizing etc. Something about a rowdy sbc I love. Wondering if I didnt get too radical with it, well see;some fine tuning should tame it a bit.

More to come

Sounds real good, picks up power quick

I know I cant...heck these days I couldnt even finance one lol. Big change from a few yrs back.

Still more to do in order to drive it and some underhood stuff I wanna change and clean up but just have to hear it once

http://www.chevelles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=331266

most learn how to work on the car themselves as there arent many who know how. If you send it to a specialist have large stacks of hundreds for any little thing.
The good thing is the brotherhood there are some good guys there, the bad part is also...the brotherhood. Many hoard parts and when you need it most times youll pay out the ass for them. I hated that part of ownership figuring out who to deal with and who to avoid. Every once in awhile youd get a surprise, too. Not for me, calling Summit and getting what I want in 2 days has me spoiled. .

Good part is with simple porting a tune and headers you can get a smog legit 500hp out of them on stock cams and bottom end.
The cars require a commitment to own you really gotta love them otherwise just mod your sbc and call it a day. Honestly once the novelty wears off the base C4 is a lot easier to own. I had a lot of fun in mine but doubt Id buy another.

Youll notice the difference..

You have 180k on the bottom end now if I read that correctly?
Might wanna hold off on modding that for now and piece together a fresh one. Start pushing the bottom end and it will come apart, once you do heads and cam you WILL be in the throttle even if you think you wont. lol

The accel bases I think only go 240cfm stock.
This is for someone with good heads/cam looking for a certain dyno # (:sigh).

They are better than stock but can still be improved.
Doing a couple superrams for some 396 build should be fun.


Anyway to the OP doing a plenum right now I can have some close up pics up in a day or two if it helps you...not that hard really just be patient and use eye protection

Valvoline racing oil isnt bad for what youre doing, you can buy the GM supplement to add your zinc over the counter.

May just crack 12s with that combo.

If the TPIS are anything like the accel you got your work cut out for you, have a large freezer baggie full of shavings. Just finished up a base runners and plenum for someone. Yes the last pic is a hole I put in the runner getting welded up tonight. Some pics are in an unfinished state but you get the idea.Bitch to get all the way through better off cutting them apart then welding back together if you really wanna make a difference.
Youll need something more substantial than a dremel for this type of thing.

http://s870.photobucket.com/home/pickone1_photo/index

Youll want to match the miniram to a 1256 like AFR recommends and be conservative on it as the head entry has vertical walls that taper in some and more rounded corners than an intake will typically have. . A 1205 isnt too far off either.

[QUOTE]and I don't expect that there would be a measurable difference between a 9" vs 7.5".[/QUOTE]

If youre referrring to a Ford 9"? Agreed, will suck more power than a typical rearend for sure agreed. Price to pay for strength though

TPIS torque secrets cam (does it have to be a GM cam)
porting, heavy angle milling (changing valve angle) all of that stuff helps.

Hey Jeff is your phone broken?
