RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I finished the wifes car today,the GTP is alive again! If I dont have any more problems with it, she will be racing at Norwalk. If you dont know @7 months ago I put a new cam,injectors,stahl convertor and a built trans in the car,but due to a unfortunate engine failure(rod bearing)it was broke again. It now has a shortblock with only 7000 miles from a 05 Monte and I took some time to port some heads and lower intake manifold. I still need a ABS module and some new HVAC controls and the wife will be happy again! She has already called out Devon with the 3800 Cavalier!

RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I have my felpro's and as soon as I put a few miles on her car I am tearing mine down. I needed her car done before I tore mine down b/c I was daily driving my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
