Winter mods......
 

What have you all got on the menu for this winter? FOr a change I don't have much (if i can make it to Island and back Sunday the car will have been running ALL YEAR LONG! And I'm not racing so I have a 50/50 chance!). Here is my list:

-Looser torque converter, mine is just way too tight, it has to be hurting the transmission, and I am going to up the stall to either 3200 or 3600
-Shocks/springs. 150 track passes and 40,000 miles have finally worn out my stockers. I am actually leaning toward the Edelbrocks, not a big fan of adjusting shocks and the cars I have driven with the Edelbrocks handle great and are still cutting awesome 60's at the track.
-Rebuild the rear My Posi is starting to make some noise and I want to put in higher gears, the 4.10's are killing me with the A4 so it is goingto be 3.55's or 3.42's going in and a detroit true-trac.
-Tires Tires Tires! I need some new rear street tires and a whole set of race tires.

Don't know if I will have the cash for all of it, the converter and street tires are the only real priority right now.

So what are you guys up to?

1.) Replace passenger rocker panel
2.) Notch and box out rear frame rails
3.) Install Mini-Tubs and rear wheel houses
4.) Install rear quarters

*Fix little bugs from getting it back on the road.

1) buy new slicks
2) install 2nd stage of nitrous
3) install wheelie bars
4) install parachute
5) change center section gears

For the Monte -

1. New headliner and upper doorpanels
2. New brake lines and adjust rear brakes
3. Install Walbro fuel pump and re-route the feed line and filter

2. Maybe a Dynomax cat-back and new O2 sensors if the budget allows

1. Pull engine block plug / reinstall engine temp sending unit
2. Finish swapping gfx
3. New tires
4. Tune
5. Get reg and insurance put back on
6. Inspection

86-get it back halfed, tubbed, 10 point cage, get engine bay painted, dash in and the interior wired.
98-stall, tranny cooler, b&m shifter, rebuild trans, new tires, finish berger panel.

Save Money.... basically anything after Christmas I will be saving hopefully and maybe spend some on the car. If I don't buy a bike first which will probably happen!

JW :D

Chevelle-put the motor back together, the 4speed in, redo the firewall, some ET Streets, and break it in (hopefully not just break it) before ocean city

Truck-2-3" lift, finish my brush guard, off-road lights on it, and pray I can make it to 200,000 miles :-)

Blasting, welding, and priming in the hopes of having a primed rolling chassis by Spring!

Get something ill enjoy driving in by summer. Either it be a stang or fbod. Still weighing out pro's and cons :confused:

No real mods I'm looking into right now. However, I would like to clean up my engine bay and get that looking right. I need to paint the inner portion of the rear brake discs because they are rusty looking.

Mods Left to the car that I want:
12-bolt rear
shocks/springs
better front brake setup

Money is the only thing holding me up right now.

hmm, no money and no place to work on my cars in the cold months = no mods. maybe if we have a warmish winter some cleaning will be in orderer, maybe polish the LT1 manifold

Yea thats why when I get what I want Im gonna have a grand to throw at it right away...Im narrowed down to either a 4v stang (new egde Cobra or mach) or a LS1. That should get either moving enough to hold me for awhile.

What is to weigh? Ls1s are awsome. Mustangs stink. LOL

Mods for which car?

- I hope the 69 Z28 makes enough progress to be completed next year!
- If I keep the 70 SS396 I need to do some wiring/alternator fixes and would like to find a decent carb for it. It could really use some new valve seals too.
- I just grabbed a set of headers for the 2000 SS so if I can time things out well I might be able to get them on before winter. It's the daily beater so I can't have too much down time with it.

Get the car to js for him to finish everything including, long tubes,th350 stall, and sfc's

1) recover from back injury :-x
2) install engine
3) install trans

never ends
 

1. Cash the year end bonus from work (thanks CDW!!!!!)
2. Send trans to Six Speeds Inc for Stage 3 setup
3. Get FAST intake ported by Tony Mamo
4. Install Fast Toys ram air
5. Replace the M/T tires
6. Try to hit a 10sec pass and exceed 125mph

1. clutch
2. cage
3. kmember/a-arms/ manual steering rack
4. abs delete
5. more agressive tune

all in an attempt at the ls1tech stock internal m6 record :)
oh yeah, and to be competitive in pure street with stock internals :P

1. Clean up & "finish" the interior
2. Stainless Stepped Headers
3. Pay bills
4. Save money
5. Maybe upper & lower A-Arms

The Camaro as far as I am concerned is pretty much finished performance wise. I just want to replace those rusty headers & save some money.

1. Fix valvetrain!
2. Fix rear!

and wait till spring!!!!!

1-finish 9" rear
2-headers
3-corbeau seats and rear seats re-leatered/suede
4-possible supercharging???!!!!????!!!!

adjustable upper control arms
solid lower control arm bushings
IROC steering box
new steering linkage
Hotchkis suspension
hopefully get an engine wiring harness
1LE front brake conversion
maybe S10 rear brake conversion....maybe


hopefully I'll have most of the car done for spring so I can drop the motor and trans in and drive it.

*edit

and for the Jeep

new rear brakes
new shocks

That sounds familiar.....
