Has AC compressor installed but just needs the AC lines ran.
Issues:
- Small rip in the back seat side speaker cover
- Small rip in the driver seat on the door side. Will probably just sew this up myself
- Leather glove box needs to be re-sewn at the bottom. No visible tear but you can feel it if you put your hand down there
- Need AC lines ran. Doesn't keep car from running obviously
Mid 11 second street car. Made 467hp/464tq @ 19lbs Obviously has more boost you can throw at it. I just never pushed it that hard to get the numbers
Drives great. Beautiful sound when the boost comes up.
This was my car since I was 17. Started out with a 305 TBI. In college, after speaking to some car friends and some help from someone who was going to a stage II motor in their Buick Grand National, I decided to swap in an LC2. The car ended up making 467hp/464tq on the dyno. It had a small piece about it in Pontiac Enthusiasts magazine when they came to see Stenod's shop.
Recently I've decided to move on from doing the car thing for awhile and start a new hobby.
Big thank you to the following people and shops that helped me with my car throughout the year.
- Mike Mizzi and his brother for the motor swap and fabrication work. You guys did an amazing job
- Stenod Performance for their amazing fabrication work and talking me into that Dana 60.
- Engineered Victories for the dyno and transmission work
- Victory Racing for their awesome help throughout the years when I couldn't figure something out and for their amazing tuning work when I needed it most
- LTLHomer for helping me out in the garage when I needed it
- Ryelou for the great deals on the tires
And anyone else that's helped me with the car that I forgot over the 15+ years I've owned it.
