Cool Say hello to my new LX

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.
