  1. I am interested in selling or trading my 1998 cavalier compact race car, setup to run Columbus motor speedway crazy compacts but can compete at all surrounding compact asphalt tracks. Will post pics tonight Hoosier slicks only have 2-3 races Plenty of spare parts, well built cage and suspension setup. Kirky seat and Simpson platinum belts. Lots of new parts and very competitive car qualifies A main and I have made 17.3 laps in car 17.0 is around #1 qualifier Will trade up for dirt bike/ 4 wheeler. Mustang turbo stuff, fox body stuff and maybe other stuff. No time toreally race it and want to focus on the drag strip next season 1500.00
  2. the best kmember is suppose to be a aje k memeber for ease of installation. If its still set up for it then that is a pretty good deal, should move fast
  3. he had the right idea on the engine setup
  4. Ray, thanks for the suggestion but I am just gonna leave it be, its a budget engine and every build I have seen makes around 650whp with no main studs. when I build the 6.0 it will be completely studded. Mike, this project is already funded, thanks for the offer but this summer I am still doing an On3 kit for the mustang with that engine I got from you, unless I am really sold on the lsx and in that case I will build one for the stang and sell this one back to you
  5. My 250.00 engine from deer creek http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/DSC00982.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/DSC00998.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/DSC01015.jpg LS1 Intake sanded down before base/clear http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/DSC01021.jpg to its current state http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/DSC01047.jpg
  6. some work I finished up in the past week was cleaning the 40 year old dirt from under the car, the pans are pretty solid, I do have about a 3" square section of rot in both front pans I plan on patching but here is a before and after pic, lots of wire wheel action went on, just trying to get the underside clean and prevent any further rust. Next will be getting the front subframe off and cleaned/painted and install all the goodies http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/DSC01033.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/DSC01043.jpg
  7. you got it matt, I am hoping with my suspension choices I can get some 1.3-1.4 60 foot times off the 2 step and transbrake.

  10. Starting a new chapter in the life of the nova, car started out 2 years ago as a 250 inline 6 cylinder 2 speed powerglide bench seat car. I quickly changed that for a mild 350 sbc/th350. Started reading alot of about the lsx platform and was quickly sold on the potential. Got rid of the gen 1 sbc and have been buying parts for the last 3-4months. Have 90% of parts now so the build begins! Car is going to be built over the winter and hopefully be ready for a tune come spring. Initially this was just a motor swap but it quickly turned into transmission,driveline and chassis upgrades. Would like to have the car ready for some track days this year and the lsx shootout in indy. New Parts Engine 5.3 truck block and rotating assembly ARP Rod bolts LS6 Camshaft H3 Hummer oil pan powder coated and -10 drain bung welded in 6.0 LQ9 317 Heads LS6 "yellow" valve springs LS1 Car intake Fabbed aluminum valve covers GM 5 layer MLS 6.0 head gaskets ARP 12 point head studs All factory gasket replacement Fuel System Aeromotive Elimenator A1000 Pump Aeromotive Boost Reference Regulator 16 Gallon Poly Cell -10 feed to -8 y Fast -8 rails -6 return to tank 83lb injectors Will be drinking E85 Turbo Setup MP T76 1.0AR Q Trim Wheel W Body 5.3 JY Exhaust Manfolds 2.5 Crossover and merge JGS 50mm WG JGS 50mm Bov Ebay 4" A/A intercooler Transmission Abruzzi Racing built th400 with brake BM Transcooler Converter is still unknown as of yet Rear End Factory 8.5 10 bolt narrowed Big ford Housing ends (so I dont have to run c clip eleminators) Moser full spool Moser 33 Spline alloy axles Moser Rear end girdle tubes fully welded to housing 1350 Pinion yoke 3.23 Gear Chassis ( all unexpected expenses but really glad I bought some quality stuff) Energy suspension body mounts TRZ Motorsports Tubular Chrome Moly upper and lower control arms QA1 Pro Coil over Calvert Split Mono leafs Calvert Caltracs Martin motorsports custom bent 10pt cage cert to 8.50 Going to be going with a 275 DR, I am a big fan of the what these 275dr can do The unknowns at this point are the converter and whether I go with a SD tune or a MAF tune and what tuner I use for the car. The car is going to run on e85, and since my 5.3 with 6.0 heads will yield 8.6:1 compression this car should take 16-20 lbs of boost with a spot on tune and make about 6-650 whp I know parish built a turbo 5.3 with a p trim .96 mpt70 in a fairmont and went 9.47@140. My goals this year is a 9.50-9.99 pass, I know that the fairmont was a lighter car so with my chassis setup and larger turbo I am shooting for 9.50-9.99 this year. Everything is here for those times, just got to get some seat time. Within the next two years I plan on using the 8.50 cert. Long term goals is a built 6.0 with twin mpt70's and some nice headers. There are a few cars floating around going 8.60s @ 160 with a 6.0 and twin mp t70 Just really started working on it but gotta get alot done before it goes to Martin Motorsports in about 3 weeks.
  11. option b for sure, but you could just have your ccw license card ready and hand it to an office stating that you are a holder but secured your weapon outside the facility
  12. It's a drag arm, Trz arms are all chrome moly. Most of the seriously fast drag cars on bullet have them, they are about 900 but are the most quality drag arm you'll find
  13. yeah I am fairly sure they will, I went to trz tubular and qa1
  14. Switched to a QA1 coilover setup. I have brand new never installed, 1 coil cut moroso 47150 trick springs and 2 lakewood 90/10 40100 drag shocks that have less than 50 miles on them. combined price from jegs out the door was 224.15 Price for all is 150+ ship or local pick up
  15. Yeah I had a big order and saved 250
