More info on the motor.
The rods are manley I beams, stock length. The pistons are SRP forged flattops with 4 valve reliefs and compression is around 10.5:1 with stock headgaskets and 11:1 with Cometic MLS gaskets, the engine has stock gaskets as it is.
The main and rod bearings are clevite, The crank is stock + nitrided. All rotating parts are cryo treated. Main berring clearance is .003 and the ring gaps are 1st ring .024 2nd ring .018. Engine was externally balanced.
In the past few months i have added a new Holley 255lph fuel pump, new water pump, new alternator, new MAF sensor, and new ignition coil.
About a month ago I culdnt get the car to start and the culprit turned out to be a fried PCM. I have replaced it with a stock PCM and the car is running great but a little rich... a good tune would easily net another 30-40 whp. I also redid the engine ground wires to avoid this problem again.
Only issues with the car...
1. speedo doesnt function... you will need a converter box from Abbott to get it working. i have a T2 speedo cable i will include with the car.
2. oil pressure gauge just stopped working. im almost positive its just the sending unit and will try to fix it before the car sells.
thats it... car will not pass emmissions... another reason for me selling... NJ has really cracked down on mechanics selling stickers.
heres a gallery of photos: http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y102/Turbolumpy/
as you can see in the pics the interior is in great shape. seats recently refinished... no tears. car is garage kept and maintained religiously. i will also include the wires and adapters to plug right into your comp for all tuning needs and a <1000 mile ignition coil... basically brand new(thought it was the problem when the car wouldnt start)
ASKING price will be 8k... open to offers.
any negative comments keep them to yourself thanks

ahh i forgot the main issue with the car... the power steering. it functions properly when filled with fluid but due to the mazda steering rack and GM pump not being compatible the fluid will boil over. not noticable at speed but when going slow it feels like theres no power steering. there are many different fixes for this problem as it has to be dealt with with every swap. check out ls1tech.com or torquecentral for all the options. i was just going to go with a manual steering rack but now have decided to sell.

I will have an ls1 fd well before he does and give him rides in it but never let him drive it.
I am very experienced when it comes to highly modded cars, and this ******* would never let me this fc.
As pissed as I am he would never let me drive it, i must admit its definatly a blast to sit in the passenger seat.

I'm sorry you're selling, Matt. I hope to see you on the forum again, behind the wheel of another FD some day
Also, you sold your FD a year ago, not 2 years ago
