    [Project] "The Project" Begins - Car Build

    Well....decided to start working on "The Project".

    ....4 years ago the fuel pump went , I pulled her into the garage and put the cover on her and let her sit. She only has 127,000 km (or 80,000 mi) on her.

    Started collecting engine, suspension and interior parts 18 months ago..

    Finally decided it was time to start working on her to get her running for next season.

    Took her to the shop and removed the old motor...
    Here is my new "lowrider look"

    The old engine...you can see the nose crack where the tow truck did a hit and run.

    "Someone" wanted the old washer and rad fluid containers...you can see the original colour.

    Rad and A/C gone

    Accessory belt and brackets coming out

    Engine coming out

    FINALLY.....now to bring it home and give the engine bay a good clean

    The engine gave up a brave fight.....broke 8 bolts taking out the motor and trans including ALL tranny crossmember bracket bolts, header flange bolt on BOTH headers and broke a few accessory bracket bolts.


    Just rolling with the dog pound..

                            Swapping in a 305 TPI (with an LT1 cam) and headers...for now. Heads will get a pocket port, gasket match, valve job and new springs. Motor came out of an IROC with 35,000 miles
                            Have a rebuilt 700R4 going back in with all the goodies in it (corvette servos, shift kit, stall, etc).
                            Car has 127,000 km on her.
                            New engine.



                            More progress...been trying to remove the old wiring harness. A few harness bolts have been giving me %@!$# hard time. Tried WD40 and soaking them in CLR but no luck yet. Won't budge with the hand tools.
                            Had some extra Dynamat so I decided to give the trunk the treatment

                            Had to give the interior a really good clean

                              use PB blaster, it is WAAAAAAAAY better than WD40 at getting stubborn bolts loose, and will do it in Minutes..

                              We use it at work RELIGIOUSLY!!!

                              good luck
