TurboNova

??? new to me.

yeah brian will be the choice for tuning for sure, I will most likely use the 9333 but I have a little while so I will keep on researching. Thanks

Sorry 5x100 and i think 40-45mm offset

I would but it has some spidering in the front bumper and some scratches. and some clear peal on the rear wing. and the hatch is a complete different shade. I am thinking doing it just red again or maybe even red with some ghost flames in it. Not too many thoughts about just whatever comes to mind with paint right now but want to see it get painted here by may possibly

which headgaskets is everyone doing? some people on the turbo forums say not to use mls. you want something to give before the block. I guess either way its a matter of time before the block would go so it does not matter. I will use MLS I am sure

Thanks rob, yeah I hope to get as much tips since some people have installed chads kit already so that the install is without to many errors. Good question on the skid marks...lol I hope not. Would loved to have had that 92 cobra clone however, like many other people I have dealt with, he was not ready to sell it, he did not have his shit together. I will never know why people sell cars then either get cold feet or are not prepared to see cash and make a deal happen Either way I am excited about this car and its potential

I have a total of 6 non bent wheels, 4 are currently wrapped in 225/45/zr18 Eagle F1 DSG3 rubber the 2 tires have 90% + life and the other two have about 30%. Pics are the wheels, they are on the fiero now but were just on the GTI I am just outside of columbus ohio Pickup only 700.00 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/bobet2.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/borbet.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/DSC00163.jpg

After going through countless flaky people and liars. I drove to Tennessee yesterday and got this car. it is an 89gt, I was surprised really how clean it was and getting it for an amazing deal (sometimes you gotta make a trip to find the deals) car is unmolested. Only real mods is a 5 lug swap with the bullet wheels/tires, edelbrock 70mm tb and spacer. Typical small tube headers/hpipe/flowmasters. The car still has all ac and works,smog pump, all stuff in interior works (power windows locks mirrors lights) even the ashtray Overall I am real happy about the project. The cars first priority will be paint. it has 20 year old paint fade with very little rust bubble spot by ford emblem on hatch. The car has two cracked pieces, one on front bumper and one on rear. It will either get cobra bumpers or stock replacements. After paint I will be doing complete suspension. Then over winter the motor gets pulled to get resealed, headstuds and an on3turbo kit. My project goal completion will be next summer, I want to just cruise it this summer, I put 20 miles on it today the car drives so nice. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/DSC00662.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/DSC00661.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/DSC00664.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/DSC00665.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/DSC00669.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/DSC00670.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/DSC00671.jpg

i dont conside 5-6000 cheap for a fox. the deals are out there. I will give here and there on items, but it seems like foxs that are shit are under 3000 and the nicer ones are above 5000 so I am cool with the latter

that car is too rough for me. I have cash to by something nice. I will just wait to find it.

I have seen every car on cl. unless it posted in the last 10min. not stuck on any certain car. prefer gt...gotta be efi and wont settle for a car that is ratted out (missing interior... unless the price is RIGHT)

got a lil more in the nova than a trade for a fox.

double want ice wanted right?

Well another deal gone bad! Delete this thread. We had a contract that the body shop was gonna fix a couple spots I was unhappy about and a few other parts that the guy did not end up having. I just could not justify 4000 for a roller if the body was not perfect. The search continues

yeah but would rather have a couple supporting mods so I can make the power on less boost. Might make the block last a lil longer

really that is it?i figured the lifter bore bosses were too low... and I take it you need to tap the front of the block for the thrust plate

yeah I dont know really if I want to build a 351 motor or not. I do want the car to live....but I do like the idea of just doing a stock 302 build with a couple cheap bolt ons and making 400-500 wheel and 302 shortblocks are a dime a dozen. Are roller conversions for a SBF cheaper then a SBC? have not looked into it but a hyd roller in a old sbc can be 700-1000

Were explorer motors forged pistons?

I guess I am leaning towards 302 with explorer intake and tfs1 cam. Still just doing a bunch of research. I might be on the prow for a roller 302 engine pre 93 if possible

bump

Yeah but still might go stockish 302 turbo i dont know yet

ok yeah still in the planning stage on the new project. Might do a stock 302 roller fi engine as well. Just too early to say, just doing some planning. I guess Id like to see the car live in the mid to low 10's for a while
