very nice

looks good

my friend who built it deleted the AC, and machined kind of a box there out of aluminum, the wires going into it is for the resistor for the fans inside of the car

I think he's talking about this:

probably to keep the wires off of the headers??? whats the displacement of that v8? :rofl:

displacement is 12 FL Oz and gets you 2 full servings of vegetables :nod:

Never seen one in any thirdgen before....

- Justin

yeah me neither. but i've never seen wires run like that too!

i've seen them in a few... i think... ive seen too many f bodies...

haha literally a v8


i have seen that brace, my iroc has one, 88vert's has one as well. its a stock piece, not sure what its used for tho

Maybe it's an IROC only piece....

- Justin

like a wonderbar?????? :)

I've seen the brace before too. I think in a regular mid 80's z28 also.

hey thats mine give it to me I need it back :wink:

Nope, my 87 had that too. I remember moving it to get the header in there. I said to myself "what the f is this thing, and what exactly is this supporting?"
I think I still have it somewhere.

From about 1989-1992 most Trans Am's, Formula's and GTA's had that piece AND ALSO a bar that fit into the hole on the passenger side lower hood support. This bar attached itself to a hole that was located on the firewall lip just to the right of the coil. I believe it was a fender support brace and that other piece was to keep the strut tower from lifting up under hard acceleration and was attached to the frame below. My guess it was some sort of strut tower support system. Now my Formula did not have this part, but mostly every other GTA from that time period had it, as did most IROC Camaro's. It took a long time to locate one(the fender brace bar)because most people do not know what it is or what to call it. I never got that piece(in the picture)because it would be impossible to get it bolted into the frame without removing the engine!

my car has it and both my buddies 87s have it..

:cheers:i coulda had a v8 too(mixed):rofl:

So... alcohol injected V8's?
