64 weeks since we began our rebuild.

Our first build ever and learned a lot. A few things we will change over time but for now


Car had a 13b pp with Ida carb, prop shaft was knocking on the body, radiator and other parts were held together with zip ties. But we did it.







Stripped everything, spatted wheel arches custom front bumper and rear diffuser made up, Chevrolet lumina diff, surge tank made up with 2 x Bosch 044 pumps. 3 x Braided fuel lines with anodized ftf fittings, custom fuel rails with 1200cc primary and 1600cc secondary Injectors, imported series 8 engine stripped and rebuilt with power seals, mild Bridgeport, master power R6771 turbo with 1.22 housing, custom intercooler, BMW 740 radiator, 2 x external oil coolers, BMW 328 brakes, stainless exhaust and downpipe, 17 inch wheels with rear dished out to 245. Bucket seats, auto meter gauges and Tach.

 

i like it. some pretty good work there. many nice projects within a project (radiator and hard lines, fuel sump, carbon fiber overlays, etc.) - really nice touches. i take it with that pretty stout fuel system you'll be shooting for big power, eh? i'm guessing you went front mount since you've got an Gen II CAS running the ignition?

i await updates.

also, just an aside, what does the South African model Chevy Lumina look like? it was a front-drive car for us.

 

Not crazy power for now just looking for a reliable 330 kw the wheels. Not sure how this turbo is going to perform but other guys who have tried it made good power at around 15psi so if we get close to that mark at that boost then mission accomplished.


This is our lumina. 6.2l v8. No fwd here...

 

Why does America always get the shaft on cool cars?!?!


Nice 7 BTW
