My winter plans include a complete rebuild of my engine and converting it to a Revolution X roller cam. I am also yanking the POS BRF tranny and replacing it with a TH400. Then, after that gets tuned in I have a brand new Razors alky kit to install!!!!! I love it!

 

[jurassic five 7]

Weld up the DS manifold found a rather big exhaust leak. Also see if theres any other cracks within the exhaust. The car spools FAST as snot, i wonder how much faster it will spool now!?

Replace valve springs with all heavy springs.

Get valve covers, dog house and up pipe bead blasted.

wow...

 

[BlackMetal]

Don't have a heated garage so not doing any work really involving the car itself. I'll be stock-piling parts for my 6776 turbo setup for next year. New downpipe and injectors already sitting on the floor next to me. Going to rig up a custom single 3.5" exhaust to match the downpipe. Getting all hot-side parts ceramic coated.

 

[DR BOOST]

i plan on changing my stock chip to a turbotweak chip....maybe ill gut the cat too. BRING IT JASON!!

 

[Aztlanahauc]

I am doing ....
1. Headgaskets
2. Timing chain
3. Oil pan gasket (missing a bolt that is why it is leaking or so it seems.)
4. Replacing all my vacuum lines with silicone lines
5. Replacing my valvesprings (w/stock 80 pounds from comp cams)
6. New waterpump
7. New swaybar endlinks (DS broke)
8. New headers
9. 3 in downpipe
10. Single shot exhaust

Hopefully I finish by spring.

 

[GNTurbo6]

Try to fix my oil leak. I'll start with valve cover gaskets. I've got a whole gasket set so I can just keep guessing after that.

 

[T- Type Tim]

Convert trans back 2 lock up and install CK recalibration kit in valve body(in progress)

Install braided tranny cooler lines (done)

Install 3000 lock up convertor

Install pcv air / oil separator

Install silicone vac lines

 

[Ttype83]

Just fit the crap I broke this year :biggrin:

 

[t-typex1]

I plan on putting an Alky control kit, and try to swing the purchase of a Precision SLIC.

 

[toofastforyou]

I've already replaced the throttle body and plenum assembly with a larger one, had the valve covers powdercoated and a few pieces chromed, installed new spark plug wires...All that's left to do for me is to get the wheels I've ordered for the rear (16"x10"), put the tires on them and then pull the car cover on it and wait until next spring. :frown: I don't have anything else planned...

I had no plan but enjoy not working on it for a single winter. By choice. Could rub it out or something. But if Tom J sends me that turbo I will be Fitting that under my hood. . I can't wait to see that engine live. I will be next.
