I've had a bunch of people contact me about how my V8/3rd Gen is going. Since I've been so busy I haven't really had a lot of time to get back to people so I figured I'd just throw up a bunch of pictures for people to look at. If anyone has any questions about the swap, please feel free to ask. For those of you who think this is sacriledge..... feel free to comment too. It's an open forum. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Here's the outside of the car. Notice the nose-high attitude.
|
Here's a closeup of the motor stipped down before I added the new heads/cam, etc.
|
Here's the car missing its "heart".

Just a few questions: Why did you choose to do the swap, other than the obvious reasons?
Didn't you use to have a pretty quick single setup on your car? And if so, wanna donate it to a good cause? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png |
What tranny is that?
|
Last one...... unless anyone wants to see more.
|
P'cola, yeah I was running an almost identical setup to SPOautos, so the car was pretty strong to begin with. I decided I wanted something a little different. Plus, 450 ft/lbs of torque is hard to argue with.
Rotary, that's the Borg-Warner T56 transmission. It's found in the Vettes and Vipers most commonly..... also in the occasional RX7. |
Looks like a Ford 5.0/T-5?
|
dac, yeah it's very similar to the older T-5. By the way, that tranny is no longer found in the C5 vettes, they use a transaxle. It was found in the C4's, F-bodies and the current Vipers.
