Finally, some pics of the new Pro/Am-I!!!
 

It was missing a driver side ground effect and a front bumper ground effect. They shouldnt be too hard to find, and the driver side motor doesnt go down, and thats why they are both up. Other than that and the broken leather glove compartment, it drives and looks like a beauty! :)

EDIT - NVM Just Message me for pics LOL

sweet car man! I dont know if I like the hood or not though.

Too bad its an 89, cause I have a set of headlight motors for the earlier thirdgens. the later ones have 3 pin connectors and the earlier ones have two.

Is that fake wood on the shifter area?

Koll you :gay: ...there wasn't a reason to quote the thread

Whats unde rthe hood? A LO3 or LB9?

L03, unfortunately :(

don't write that motor off. a few of us around here know a trick or two to make them move 8)

Pic's don't work :(

What is an LO3?

Throttle body injected 305 base v8 motor from 1989-1992 in f-bodies

I have the LO3
Or as I like to call it the LOL

2 pic's work now.... that is a HUGE scoop!!!!

What kind of HP/ TQ does it make?

just by stock standards, prolly 170/220 ... this is just something to get me around in while im working on the other one :)

are you planning to mod it or keep it stock?
the LO3 can easily run into the 13's without much of an investment or losing any creature comforts.

most likely stock, maybe just a nice sounding exhaust system and an air cleaner lol. most of my work will be going into the 86', the Pro/Am is just for a daily driver

what are u talking about with the LO3? gimme some specs as how it can run 13s :) im dying to know :-P

mild cam, gears, intake, home ported tb, full exhaust, and tuning. 8)
a lot of ppl bag on tbi for not performing as good as tpi cars, look at teh cam and gears. the LB9 and L98 cams are not huge, but by comparison they are worlds better. for gears almost all LO3 autos got 2.73 gears and 5spd cars got 3.08 gears, not posi either. put the 3.23 or 3.42 posi set ups that most tpi cars came with in there and you are looking at a huge performance gain.
if you go with a stock LT1 cam and some 3.73 or 4.10 gears you will be flying.
as with any car, tuning is key. there is a ton of power to be found just in teh chip. gm was far too conservative for their own good.

-Get a LT1 cam for starters. That makes the biggest difference.
-Roller rockers, open element, remove smog and A/C
-ultimate TBI mods, maybe toss a injector pod spacer in with it.
-Manifold, edelbrock TBI or a dual plan with a tbi plate.
-Shorty's, high flow or no cats and a 3" exhaust
-3.42 or 3.73's in the rear with a carrier 3 posi
-Follow NJSped's wietght loss program

If your close but not quite there, toss in some synthetic motor and slap on a greddy sticker and you'll be there .. .:)

DAMNIT TIM!!!! I didn't think you'd post since your away message is up

weight reduction isn't even needed to go fast. the cam and gears are what really hold the car back.

Yea, wow... I just read up on it. Makes me wonder Im working on an 86 with an LG4 LOL

I read up on a 325 HP LO3, just by adding full exhaust w/headers, Edelbrock RPM Intake, cam, and Vortec Heads. :shock: wow

I have an LT1 cam sitting around that was going to go in my car before I put the 400 in. Let me know if you are interested.

I'll have one ready by june if your interested, plus Im closer then Justin. ;)

the simple version of how gentle the factory put together the LO3 is that i went from 15.9's to 15.0's on free/cheap mods and mild gears(3.54 posi).
with a simple, off the shelf, combo you can easily drop into the 13's at or near full weight. of course, dropping a few lbs never hurt any car :D

Yea, that hood weighs about 100+ lbs with that rock solid scoop on LOL, thanks Ill highly consider it :-D

Bite your tongue!!!!

Weight redux and SPRAY it!
