Guest Hooligan Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 looks really nice. what front air dam/bumper is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks280zt Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I like it except for that spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awd92gsx Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 Well, now that I have a V8 installed...I'm *considering* something along the lines of a piece BRE style spoiler or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psykovertible Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 yah not a big fan of the spoiler but the car looks great. I am still looking forward to a ride. One of these days when I get off my but I will go to get that alternator. I was having second thoughts about which one to buy. I considered getting a later one to go with a serpentine belt drive but may be more hassle that worth. great job with the car. I didnt get a good look at the valve covers but I have a set of gold aluminum Moroso ones that may top it off nice. i really like the look of the wheels on that color car too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 BRE rear spoiler looks MUCH better in my opinion... then again, I have one on my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Conversion looks good, real normal like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dladow Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Nice looking swap, and nice looking car. Have you posted the specs on your V8? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awd92gsx Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 Thanks guys The specs on the engine are fairly normal. Engine was pulled from a '77 El Camino...rattle canned the block, valve covers, and repainted the edelbrock intake aluminum silver. So...basically... Stock 350 Edelbrock Performer Intake "El-Cheapo" 1-5/8 block huggers Quadrajet (came with the engine and only cost me $14 to rebuild - seems to run good and give sme good mpg) Turbo 350 transmission (will more than likely swap to a 200-4r in the next month or so) I can't say that the engine is a super powerhouse, but, it runs good, is very easy to drive, gives good fuel economy (better than the I6 I pulled out) and is very enjoyable to drive. I was on an extreme budget...all in all, I have about $1400-1500 total into the swap...give or take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Z Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Lookiin good man! Most important is that you got the 'stance' right so the car looks mean. I agree on the bre spoiler, then again I've got one myself also. Congrats and keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbore468 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 looks really nice. what front air dam/bumper is that? I believe the front and rear bumpers are from a kit that Motorsport Auto sells. They are made of fiberglass and do require some work to make them fit nicely. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spdsk8r Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Love the look of your car. I think the BRE style spoiler, along with the cowl hood will make it look perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Good looking car, I agree with the Bre spoiler swap. That would top it off, I just happen to be doing the same thing. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poundz9oh9 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Wanna offload that F40 Wing?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ground Rat Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I like it except for the wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psykovertible Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Don't forget that if you do want an all fiberglass hood for that car, you can get one made at Reaction Research here in town. East vally but still the valley. I personally don't like the shape of the cowl that much on his cause it's really small but it was a good price and functional.

DavyZ Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Looking lean and mean! The rear spoiler makes it your car, so if you like it, that's what counts. I can nearly guarantee that for every person that says they don't like it, there is another who does... Nice car. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
