Say hello to my new LX

tireburner163 · 01-08-2004, 09:40 AM

Well I don't have any pictures yet, because the battery in my digi cam died (I'll try to get some up soon).

I know some of you may have noticed my sig changed a "little". Well the LX's tranny blew a front seal. So instead of replacing the seal I thought it would be a MUCH better idea rip out the 2.3/auto and replace it with a V-8/T-5 combo.

I've posted some "during" pics, sorry I didn't get anymore, but I'm not really a photo snapper.

Here's my mod list:

65 289 short block, .030 over, forged pistons, shot peened rods, all ARP'ed

Fully ported and polished GT-40 irons

Comp Xtreme Energy cam (224/230* duration at .050. .509/.512 lift, 110* LSA)

Edelbrock Performer RPM intake

Holley 650cfm double pumper

Crane 1.7 roller rockers

Holley "blue" fuel pump

BBK long tubes and o/r H-pipe

Magnaflow cat-back

deleted power steering and A/C

MSD 6AL ignition box w/ Blaster SS coil

Pro 5.0 shifter

4.10's

FMS "heavy duty" clutch

SPEC billet steel flywheel

PowerBond SFI balancer

Fuel AutoMeter instrumentation

That's about it, but I'm probably forgeting a few small things. I'm shooting for some high 12's out of it on slicks and some mid 11's on a 175hp shot.

I still need to get some farking control arms, so it anyone is selling any, let me know.

That is all.......you can now continue about your pointless lives.

I'll post some more later.

Dark_5.0 · 01-08-2004, 11:57 AM

There is a guy selling upper and lower control arms for $145.00 "Buy it now" on ebay.

They look pretty good to me, way better than stock.

Happy for ya, though, glad you finally got it all together.

Stang_Crazy · 01-08-2004, 03:02 PM

Josh, you'll need some sod to cover the big brown spot in the yard where the LX has been sitting for what seems like eternity.

Tony Frank · 01-08-2004, 07:01 PM

keep up the good work
