1995 Indigo Lights/Black LSC Progress

[94m5]

Aight then.


I have finally broke down and got tethering for my Home PC from AT&T. What this means is that I can now post pictures and do other fancy stuff that I was unable to do from just my jesus phone. (I'm WAY too cheap to go through comcast, quest, etc..etc...etc)

That being said, I am getting ready to pull the 94 and the 95 in the garage and start swapping go-fast stuff from the old one to the new 95.

This is the 1st teaser pic. The intake is probably not going to ever see a car as I am still debating wether I should swap the C-Head engine in, and leaning to yes. It was coated before we realized the 94 was going away, and could give it's heart to the cause......so it's for-sale.

Powdercoating scheme is going to run through the whole engine bay, and alot of interior paint work to go with it. Im keeping my power enhancment plans quiet, cause Jeb doesnt need to know what I'm up to.

Making a Christmas special mark or what? Haha looks good so far.

 

[94m5]

Spent Friday hub swapping and Cobra braking the 95.


Ill be sensor lowering it on Tuesday. I've got some pretty interesting plans for the engine.

Stay tuned.

 

[lincoln_lurker]

will do, look forward to it

 

[unity]

Are those COP valve covers?

 

[94m5]

Yes. The car has already been swapped over....

 

[brentalan]

Already looks better than the 94

 

[chicken]

looks good. doing the 6060 this time?

 

[94m5]

No.

Just a nice j-modded/marauder t/c'd 4r70w.

 

[Screw-Rice]

Can't wait to get to tearing into the 94,

You should return a call every now and then too.

 

[lsc8]

good luck with that

 

[94m5]

I'm off Tuesday. I'll be down pulling the engine, if you want to come down.

Btw, text incoming.

 

[Dmaup]

I can't wait to see this done. I'm always a fan of your work.

 

[94m5]

Going to pull the Engine out of the 94 tomorrow. From there, I'm going to swap out the valve stem seals (preventative), and begin the clean-up/detailing to the engine before it goes in the 95.

EVENFLOW COOLING MOD.

There is way too much documented problem with the Marauder engines not too... especially if you have ANY plan to go FI.

 

[94m5]

Kyle, and I spent the morning pulling the engine out and getting the car secured down on the trailer. I'm not sure what is gonna happen with the remainder(no I am not selling the lights), but someone on this forum has dibs if he wants the sheetmetal.

I had to track down a non functional left trailer turn signal. Turned out to be a broken wire/blown fuse in the F250. Other than that, it pulls as nice as a gasser can in this elevation.

Pics....

Mike, you're choking those heads with the stock m8 manifolds. I hope they don't make it into the new car.

 

[94m5]

HEY J!!!


Glad to see your still around here. Ive been putting alot of thought into the manifolds, but am having a hard time convincing my wallet to let money out on different ones. Ill probably end up doing it, but Ill wait to find a decent deal on a set of cobra manifolds.

Spent a few hours Cleaning up the engine to get it ready to drop in the 95. For the most part, it is pretty clean, but I wanted to makeit better.

It's Forg engine grey, and Cranberry metallic. The Upper Hat is going out for coating tomorrow, so that will be taken care of. ALL seals and gaskets were relaced today including Oil Filter adapter and Rear main.

I'm going to be running Terminator Manifolds on this setup,with Magnaflow 2.5" Cats, magnaflow 2.5" Dual In/out muffler, and Borla rear Mufflers. This should be PLENTY of flow for what I have planned.

I have the Even Flow Mod on order and should be here in a week. (I won't be here to get it, cause of a cross country haul im making on the 13th.)

Anyway, Pictures.
