68 Firebird update
 
https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=16239
Here is the link to the start of the build. Now that I have moved to Phoenix and got settled time to finish the bird. Now the engine can go back in with the recently purchased T-56. Just waiting for my clutch to come in.

Thanks 70TWO NOVA we have paint on the firewall.

you have good start stay with it will come. more pic if you have them.

LS7 clutch on the way. Once I receive that this week the engine will go in. I have the new drive shaft to install and also the brakes are ready as well. Should come together very quickly for Brian to work his magic with the paint.

dont mean to hijack your thread buddy, but your booster is all painted. I figured you would want to see it....

yeah, you guys just wait till i get my LS in there. I'll walk all up and down your guys' cars. just give me about 4 1/2 years haha. i'll still try you with my 355 and 700 that doesn't shift right.

70TWO NOVA 03-11-2009 07:49 PM

ha lol, well i think that would be a good race between the 3 of us when all the cars are finally done. Id be curious to see who takes that one. :unibrow:

vannatta20 03-11-2009 11:51 PM

Dude, you were supposed to paint it silver!:eek:




J/K looks great! If you have any free time this weekend let me know. I got the clutch in and need to install the motor/tranny. Tonight I installed the backing plates along with the disc brakes.

Here is a vid of the first startup after the tear down. The headers are stainless steel LPP 4 gen long tube headers.

vannatta20 04-01-2009 05:56 PM

Installed intake from New Era. The booster is from a 04 GTO and it sits flush to the firewall for a clean look.
