• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

PA Area



I travel out once or twice a month and work on it. Right now, I'm just waiting on the accumulation of the rest of the parts, then I'll take some vacation time to finish it up. The rest of the time, it just sits in the garage looking sad. :(
 
I live in Mass, while the car is currently in PA at my dad's house. I want to get it done soooooooo bad, but some other matters have come up in the middle causing me to divert money away from the project for the most part. Hopefully, I'll have everything settled in early June and have it done before the end of summer.
 


yea that would be cool i see your doing a 5 speed build that's awesome are you gonna drive it back to mass once its done?
 
The 5 speed is the most exciting part of the build, but there are other things happening with it as well...Gen V, XP, intercooled, 42.5lb injectors, SLP headers, GMPP exhaust...typical fun stuff for an L36 block. :th_biggrin2: The goal is to get it done, drive it back, and drive it when it's nice (aka no more winters.) I've got a 99 Jeep Cherokee for winter crap to keep the GT safe from salt and idiots who can't drive.
 
yea but the problem with these cars is you usually can never get as much money as you put into it once you sell it but it will be fun i can tell especially with a 5 speed
 


About the only thing I have in it is labor. I got killer deals on all my parts, so I can't really complain about the money in. The only NEW parts will probably end up being the clutch, FMHE, intercooler pump, hoses, and Gen V to N* adapter. Other than that, I have $400 into buying the car, and the other parts were less than $2k.
 
yea good deal what trans are you going to be running? and maybe ill have to take a ride up to Allentown to see this once complete lol
 
I'll be running the Getrag 284. It can take a little more than the 282, and I don't drive like a douche so it should hold up for my purposes. I might be willing to take a trip to Allentown when she's finished. Like I said, I visit there on occasion anyway. LOL

And if you think it's a hefty drive for you, consider I live in MA!! I don't like Philly, so I won't drive that far, plus I can pick up I-84 out of Stroudsburg or I-95 in NJ to get back to MA.

Fixed that for you.

I know guys who have nearly $60,000 into their cars that they would have trouble selling for $15,000. Mods don't increase values of cars.
