If someone would have told me a year ago I would be down here in the mifbody basement starting a build thread for a 3rd gen I wouldn't have believed it. But....here I am!
I am currently waiting for the delivery of a somewhat rough 86 T/A. Silver on silver/gray. It has a black hood, fender and door. The hood is on it but not bolted on, the fender and door will be put on by myself. Its in fair shape, just a little surface rust underneath it. None I could see on the body. This car had seen duty as a strip car and the former owner pulled all the hvac out. So I am on the hunt for that stuff.
The interior is rough, Camaro seats in front , some rotten seats in the back. Leaky Ttops have destroyed the headliner and the carpet is sun bleached and smelly. I really hope the floor boards are good.
I picked up some two tone blue seats, head liner, door panels, and carpet today. From a local guy with one of the cleanest 3rd gen I have ever seen. I don't know if I will be keeping this stuff in the car but we will see.
No motor or trans came with the car, as I have been itching to LS something since my z28 is finished or close to it, this was perfect for me. So the plan is 5.3 litre truck motor that I found today. I have a set of 4.8 pistons to bump up the compression ratio. I am considering a ls7 cam,I will be home porting some heads for this motor.Probably not the heads on this motor, These are 706's (yuk) headers and duel exhaust. This will be bolted to a 4l60 trans. I cant wait to get my hands dirty!!
I will be picking brains randomly here , especially when it come time to integrate the dash to the ls system.
So God help me here I go again!
