just finished the motor mounts.got $8000 in the motor and trans to hit 500 hp.not going to use the hydrolic stock mounts.running a turbo 350 chevy trans.proably going to up grade later to a TKO6 speed trans.got the interior done seats and carpet.now im fiberglassing new dash panel to house the new gauges ,hope to have it all done by 6-2012.upgraded brakes to 1) slotted ,crossdrilled R1 rotors 2) Akebono euro pads all around 3) SS braided brake lines from needswings. suspension is B&G springs with srt6 shocks.weight of the car is down to 2600 LBS.Changed the steering wheel to Grant motorsport.best part is the exhaust ,just some chevy 350 headers with 2 high flow cats with flowmasters.super 40's.trying to keep the car as low as possible with 18" all around.went TSW nourenbergs,think i spellt that wrong.getting the car wrap in the mail teusday ,its real easy to apply,allreddy vinyl wrapped the tal lights ,med smoke.anyone else getting crazy modded for the summer hit me back with any ideas.

 

Do a search on:

Horsepower; Grenaded Rear end; Differential in 1000 pieces; spider gears?

 

Nice.. please tell me its not carbureted though . Just a heads up, there is no TKO 6 speed, they are 5 speeds. You need a t56 magnum if you want 6 gears. I agree with max though, the rear will not hold up. I'd look for a dana from a viper or vette. Maybe some frame reinforcement as well.

 

If you are going to make a Chevy out of it, you had better do a narrowed 12 bolt chevy rearend as well. The rear end won't hold all that power... It is a fun build I am sure...but, it loses something to me... Just isn't the same as other conversion... I have seen Triumphs with Chevy small blocks, MG's etc.... just doesn't seem right ...lol...but have fun with it...but look into the rearend before you scatter the spider gears in it...

 

Take a break and show us some pics! We like to see actual pics of the work being done.

Good luck with the project.

For the rear, couldn't he do an SRT6 with the Wavetrak?

 

I was thinking the same thing James, but I guess some SRT6 drivers must think the Chebie small block must be more powerful than those 11.7 sec. Mercs.

 

Ya, I know what ya mean Doc. And those A.C. Bristol/Ford V8 swaps were just plain ridiculous.

 

he would have just as much money in a wavetrac/srt6 diff that he could go with a narrowed 12 bolt chevy /driveshaft and all....since he is running a 350 series auto...
we did a Chevy Vega many years ago...so this kind of reminds me of that as far as wheelbase and all. Of course, the Vega weighed 1500lbs...lol...tubbed rear end... It was a street screamer... and a handful...

 

Very nice! Did you put in a crate engine, LS1,LS2, or some other swap? I love it when peeps can put those motors into different cars. This one build is very interesting indeed. Can't wait to see the pics!

 

Subscribing...

Anthony is that 7.1 1/8 mile.i mean you never know nowwa days.saw an allmost new viper diff on e bay for 350.fellas.(pause)you guys think a bigger mercedes rear would fit(v8 merc or cl,s,sl).just the rear diff or the whole thing ,and reuse the N/A hubs.i would imagine the stock hubs could allways be machined without throwing them in to far.it was either this or a boxster STI motor.love carburated american since i assisted on a 65 mustung frame up,and a nova.wanted a 454 so bad for this ,my pants split. ON another note guys.i would love to.i mean love to see a MERCEDES SLS AMG full body kit or at least a front bumper buils.stock bumper with alot of drilled holes in it and a massive vaccume.(spellt that wrong)cars are twins,minus the front.hit me back

 

The 7.1 run was in the 1/8th, but still no slouch for a 5K lb Brick.

 

7.1 is very fast. Everyone is ordered to enjoy Saint Patricks day by me .want the SLS full kit for crossfire to be made,right now .thats an order,and affirmative is all im accepting!at least the front.paid for the 1/32 rubber roll.$200 for 50 ft.various width.wrap the car with that its thicker than vinyl ,cheaper,stable to 30 below 0 and up to 225F.pure flat black.those pics are getting shot by FRi ,if the UPS hurries.you guys are motivating me to take more pics.cause once its done i cant take build pics.back to the rear.if i drive easy till the viper rear goes in i should be ok.i mean speed limit ,just enjoy the looks and sound but dont gun it hard for minute.
