The never ending project

[usmcsvtwannabe]

As some of you are aware I've been collecting parts and working on this swap for a decent bit of time. Well between a small deployment, buying our first house and getting a new DD I've gotten a little side tracked. Never the less, we made lots of headway this weekend. Got the fuel system all buttoned up and back in the car as well as getting the blower back on. Im just waiting on my 3.0 pulley and some fluids then she will be ready to come out of her 9 month hibernation!!! Oh and I think my anniversary present this year was a nudge to tell me to finish the car haha

Cant't wait to hear her again!!
(For those that dont know, 2.3 whipple, dual 465 walboro return style system, E85, ID1000s)

My OCD got me here


This was the anniversary present nudge! I have a very awesome wife!


Little stuff to button up but almost ready!


Cant leave out the new DD

I'm also doing a 2.3 whipple on e85. Are you doing a 4 pound lower too? Let's get some details on the setup.

2.6 Pulley for the E85 tune, 3.0 for 93 tune. I'm preparing myself for conservative numbers but I'll be happy once she's back up and running! I went ahead and put a new set of redline struts on the hood as well as sanded down and painted the tank straps

I tried to buy that 2.6" pulley from the previous owner and he wouldn't separate it from the blower. You're very lucky to have found one as those are rare as hen's teeth.

You'll love Kevin's new tune.

What jack stands are those? Def getting your money's worth

I heard haha, he told me a bunch of people were trying to get it from him. Im looking forward to just having the car running again. I forget what the 450rwhp felt like, let alone what my E85 tune will do!

You are a dirty bastard Zak. Harbor freight as always

nice project looks great! I'm predicting a "holy sheeet" soon followed by a big ass grin first time you punch it on the 2.6rr and 04sleeper corn tune :rolling:

Do you have headers? Our combos are almost the same except I have a 2.70, mafia, and billetflow tb. You definitely have a unicorn in that 2.6 pulley.

That's what I'm expecting and Im gonna try and take it easy for awhile till I get back into driving her. But Im looking forward to shitting my pants on that first full WOT pull!!

Awesome! I'm on stock manifolds for now. I plan on going full tubular front suspension and LT's next winter. The 2.6 is absolutely saving me from having to get a lower pulley haha
