Hey guys, sorry for not updating this. If you guys saw my other thread, I just put several grand worth of suspension and weels on my car to be able to support this engine.
So there are a few updates on this. First off, I have decided against going dual belt setup and I am going with a single 8 rib setup. Itll be alot easier to setup with less custom brackets. I am picking up a innovators west 10% od balancer this week.
Also, last weekend I went and picked up some MAC LTs and midpipe.
I am getting a few odds and ends first, and then i will get my rotating assembly sent to the machine shop and i plan to assemble it my self.
As for the adapter plate. i should have alot of it done by this coming weekend. I have been trying to find someone local that welds aluminum. Most give me a price quote of about $250 to fill about 5 holes on the manifold. So that is the only thing holding me up on that.
I am still trying to get the adapter for the intercooler with the 2 tubes. Found one on ebay for cheap. So i hope to get that this week aswell. As for cooling, I plan to pickup a 94/95 mishimoto radiator this way it will have a filler cap, and the top part of the cooling will be mostly custom with AM fittings and whatnot.
As for air intake, I plan to use the stock gt500 maf holder. So I am looknig for a slot style MAF.
I am first going to shoot for 450hp with stock pulley. After I get the tranny I want (T56 magnum) I will bump it up with a pulley change and meth/water injection to about 650hp. I know this is a considerable jump, but i think it is doable. other people with similar setups have never run meth injection or ported heads, and i have seen 650hp with those setups.
Thats really it for now guys.
