project reach-around
 
well now that I have some cash from parting the talon out it is time to finally put my 86 fiero gt back together. so far I have swapped it to a 5 speed from an auto and have a whole bunch of parts to put the engine back together.

some pics of some parts

that would be a complete 383 stroker kit and a ceramic sprung 6 puck act clutch

also have
remote oil filter
electric water pump
shorty headers
bosch high flow fuel pump
edelbrock intake
holley carb
msd coil
msd distributor
msd control box

ordering a comp 264/280 cam w/ hydrolic lifters and heavy springs

the complete engine build with everything cost less than the pistons and rods for the talon.


once the talon is out of the garage this weekend I will get some pics of the car.

I will kick your ass. Not cars, man vs. man, you can't compete against these pythons. See you in the OC parking lot.

Re: project kick my ass
 
There is already one of these running around, but the guy keeps destroying transmission or other driveline parts.

craig 06-12-2008 09:20 AM

Re: project kick my ass
 
yeah that can happen, but doesn't every dsm running over 400whp destroy stock trans and other drive line parts. hence this is not my daily driver.

Re: project reach-around

turbotalon1g 06-12-2008 09:31 PM

Re: project reach-around
 
I don't know, but i don't think he was on stock driveline parts.
Hmmm, reach around.

TkrPerformance 06-12-2008 11:26 PM

Re: project reach-around
 
the oem trannys are good for 400whp and the axels are good for 500whp

turbotalon1g 06-13-2008 03:34 PM

Re: project reach-around
 
Safe to say that guy is making a little more than that then.
