This project has been sitt'in aroud for a wile. The original plan was for a full bridge 12A with a turbo II trans. I made a slight error in judgement and jumped ship to a different engine builder. I had built Two 12A's done by Jesus Padilla A.K.A. Kilo Racing. Ended up with this other guy. long story short I paid this dude in full and almost four months later no full bridge. The mother ****** hasn't even finished cutting my plates! Last week I got fed up and realy tired of spectating so I decided to use a street ported 12A instead. Granted it's a LARGE street port. Should still be fun and stratch this itch. My friend made the motor mount for me. Oh yeah for a gear box I'm using a donated Rx-3 4 speed. Not a turbo II trans but the next best. I made the trans crossmember my self. Still have two mount the rad and fuel pump. Hope fully we'll be doing the wireing this week end. It shouldent be two bad because the previous owner had a rotary under the hood. Got my hands on these ignition boxes from Summit, buit in digital rev limmiter as high as 12,500 rpms. I think their a copy cat of the mallory but with a summit sticker. Way cheaper than msd's and no pills and extra bullshit to buy.

Jhon S. R.P.M. in sanford I recamend any and all stay away! He does have a LOT of housings complete rotatin assemblies and other goddies and hes easy to haggel. Just flash some cash and say take it or leave it and walk away like u really don't want it and he'll give. DONT buy in to his bull **** sobb storie, poor me boo hoo. This guy use to be good a few years back built some tight 12A nitrous cars but now he is a cluster ****!! By the way if any body is wondering the glc has got a narrowed Datsun pick-up rear end. I dont know what type of axels are in it but there pretty tough or girthy if u will he he he. the gears that were in it were some shitty ratio like 4.90 or 4.11 with a steel carier now I got my hands on an aluminum carier 4.37. I think the chunk came from an old nissan 200sx turbo early to mid 80's I'll get pics of the axels and chunk up soon.

My friend G came over yesterday afternoon and wired up my ignition boxes. Every thing went well and the rest of the wireing from the previous owner is kinda ghetto but works. Our goal is to be rady for the Pan-am Nationals at lakeland motorsports park. Dec. 1-2. Its bracket racing so we'll see. Oh we attempted to fire her up but my racingbeat carb I think sat for too long so Im gonna have to take it appart and clean her up. I'll post some more pics and deffently a video when we get the bitch started!

Looks good.Just make sure that the wiring won't short and cause a fire.Thats the last thing you want after spending that much time on it.

Mon after work I took apart my holley. I cleaned her up and gave her a fresh set of gaskets. Fired the car up!! I'm pretty exited it sounds tough for a street port. Havent done any tuning yet. A few more things to tighten up be fore I drive her If I knock every thing out I should drive it sat night or sun. I will make/post a video so yall can check it out and voice your opinions.
