Fullauto Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Was first a San Diego car was basically all original till now. 90,000 miles. 2nd owner since 1987. In storage for 20 years. Drove it around stock for a while. Good shape minimul rust, no cracked dash. This web site is why I decided to do this, you guys are amazingly talented in this v8 forum. Slowly making progress with the cx racing mounts and headers with v pipe only. R200 3.92 gears OS giken LSD built by Unitrax, I used Techno Toy rear arms when I put the diff back in. Lowered about 1.5 inches. Hope to test fit the ls1/t56 soon. Hopefully goes as well as trackzpeeds!! Thanks to all for the incredible builds and advice. Here are a few pix.

Naptown Dave Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Looks like a really nice car to start on! I came across hbz kind of backwards. The first highly modded Z I saw was Blue Oval Z, check out his crazy build. Welcome aboard there are a lot of guys here with a lot of knowledge.

trackzpeed Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Good luck buddy..... So far I have had great luck and most everything has worked out pretty well. I'm getting it done with hand tools in my garage for the most part. The Hybrid family is your key to success.... great knowledge from great people.

Fullauto Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Got the t56 tail modified so i can run the stock speedometer. Putting the McLeod RST with aluminum flywheel on today. I think Im getting a handle on the wiring... I dont think I even need the stock pcm for anything. Just keeping the oil sender for stock guage and same with water temp(moded like Domz suggested) Need the tach modified for v8. Upgraded the brake booster and master to the zx. Tilton 7/8 clutch master, with the remote bleed per advice here (rebeccasz) Only a million thing to go...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CableSrv Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Man for the price of that conversion, you could have bought a gps speedhut gauge that would be way better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Jim On ebay t56 speedometer cable conversion Alloy specialties out of vancouver wa. Wow, I've thought a few times about getting rid of my CableX box and doing that. Good to know there is someone just a few miles from my house that can provide the parts. There is one of the best LSX tuners in the NW in Vancouver also, Wong's Performance. I've been running my LS1/T56 combo for 12 years now and the CableX is still hanging in there so it will be while before I get that done.
