yea, damn I guess I missed it
-
I heard there was a Z car meet in GA sometime in sept, or october. Anyone know anything about it?
-
I could make something similar for about $300-400. I did a retro on a civic and only spent $285 and it took about 5-6 hours to complete and looked like it came that way stock when I was done with it.
-
Looks great but needs a drop.
-
One on this board running that RR kit? We have been looking at it and hot sure how the fit would be and how much mods are needed to install for a street car? We were thinking about getting the subtle Z front and full race rear.
-
those flares a huge, they look bigger than the IMSA to me. you can buy the IMSA online still but I an not sure they are as wide as this car. This looks like it maybe the reaction rearch racing kit.
-
This is exactly how I want my car to look, but can find anymore pics of this car or info. Anyone have a clue? The black on right side. Is this Darius car? look similar but I have not seen his car complete with the new kit.

If you don't mind posting, what did it set you back?

Anyone running there trans, or had any experience with them? They seems like they build a bullet proof trans that can handle 650 lb of torque. But they are asking $2899. A new Tremec unit is is $2185 shipped. I wonder if this trans if worth the extra cash. They all so are running close ratio 2.66 Viper gears. What is the major diff?
-
I am getting a new unit from tremec. Since I have a old style block it is actully cheaper than buying a GM model and buying the adaptors. The unit from tremec bolts to the old style housing and use chevy factory clutchs parts, nothing special needed. Plus the new unit it rated at 450 pds of torque.

Mike kZ what kind of power are you putting down with that engine? Ours is putting down around 425-445. Do use yours for mostly drag?
-
I am running a small block 400. I am not sure which kit was used to put the engine it but it sits pretty far back and low.
-
Ok I seriouly thinking about going with a T56 in my 240, my question is how hard it is to fit in? All so where would the shifter sit? Anyone here running this trans that can give me any advice?
-
Would it be better if I ran a resonator then thought a muffler? Would this help it quiet down at all?
-
I would like a set of stock tailights and the clear bumper lights, but I am going to wait. Those prices seem a little high. We should get a group buy together so we can get the prices down some.

built small block 400 chevy

I have been concidering a T56 and saw this on ebay.

ccwheels are nice but they have only 1 wheel in a 17"
-
I am trying to make a decision on some wheels but can't find anyone who carries any decent 17's. I would really like some nice 3 piece wheels, with a nice lip. I have checked BBS but that is about the only person. Most people start at 18's. Any suggestions?
-
yes the MM hubs are only the fronts, you have to send your rears to him and he machines them and makes it 5 lug. All so www.arizonazcar.com sales a full brake kit that is 5 lug and comes with all parts and is a direct bolt on. I just got this kit and it is very nice.
-
Yea but you never know if it is good one or not and how much abuse it has had. Plus the parts to make it work with an older engine are very costly. Just the adaptors to bolt it up are $600-700. Then it requires a specail flywheel that is around $250-300. And then you still need all the other parts which cost about another $450-650.
So on the low end you have at least $1300 invested to get a trans bolted up that may or may not be good. The tremec is cheaper because the trans is $2200 and all the other parts together to get it bolted up can't be no more than a couple hundred and you have a brand new trans with warranty.
-
well I have done some pricing and I think I am just gonna stick with automatic and get me a stage 3 200-r4 from www.bowtieoverdrives.com they are only $1350 and a 2400 stall converter sales for $265. The tremec trans alone is $2200. I would perfer a 6 speed over and auto but not looking to spend that much.

I found out that if you go with the GM aftermarket Tremec
GM Aftermarket T56
This swap will be the simplest and least expensive. It will
bolt right up to your bellhousing, use your stock clutch setup,
stock fork, pilot bearing, throwout bearing, etc. This
transmission utilizes a 27 spline slip yoke, which is the same as a
TH350 yoke.
You’ll need
mechanical speedometer gear adapter
26 spline clutch disk
to modify your crossmember
shorten your driveshaft

Thanks.
