My new IHRA Real Street Drag FD!!!

Well I finally got down to Maryland to pick up the new toy. Big thanks to Mike for a amazing deal on a great car. Its a 93 Arrival Blue base model. Currently here are the mods and I will list below the parts I already have and plans for the car. Hope you guys like it.

Current Mods:

S&W Racecars 10 pt Roll Cage installed and NHRA certified to 8.50 through 2008
Window Net Install kit installed
Competition Engineering Steering Column - Collapsable
BRAND NEW Custom Paint - Chevrolet Arrival Blue
Shaved Mirrors/Gas Cap/ Emblems
Delrin Bushings
All Pillowball joints replaced
Fuel Cell - 5 Gallon
5 POINT Racing Harness
Window Net
Line Lock
B&M Ratchet Shifter
Quick Release Momo Steering Wheel
8 Switch Panel
Starter Button
NHRA Cutoff switch - Flaming River
Painless Wiring Harness
Kirkey Race Seat
Driveshaft Saftey Loop
Alumistars Fronts w/Skinnies
28x11.5/16 ET Streets on stock wheels
Tokico 5 way adjustable
Steel Braided lines front and rear
Eibach Springs

Parts I have now not installed:

Evo-R Sleek headlight kit(awaiting buckets to get painted arrival blue)
LS1 with fresh rebuild
Melling High volume oil pump
FMS F5 Cam 224-228
Ported heads w/Comp Cam dual spring and titanium retainers
Custom build true long tube equal length headers
MSD Wires
T-56 waiting for viper internals
Mcleod Steel bell housing
NOS Direct Port kit

I will be working on finsihing up the LS1 swap kit. I am making all of it myself and will post updates when I can. The car in the end will be an auto. Havnt decided on a glide, th400 or lenco yet. But I have a T-56 sitting around so it will go in. This LS1 and t-56 is actually intended for my daily driver and this car will get a forged stroker someday. But the daily driver FD needs paint so it will be awhile till its ready to go.

Also the hood scoop will be removed. I am not allowed to use any forward facing hood scoops. I will be making a bump for the center section of the hood. To clearance for the turbo and related items. And yes I just set the front bumper on for the pictures. It is a factory piece and fits perfect when installed.

I don't know why Mike sanded it smooth. I think they look much more impressive in their natural state...

Mike's old hot rod is a great buy.... Lots of top notch parts for sure.

Any reason why you have (4) non running FD's? Your house looks like a junk yard with a nice truck parked in front.

That is the front bumper, chin spoiler, and rear wing I want.
Looks good and yes I say the hood has to go.

Dont hate on the hood scoop... "The Humpty" as it was called when it was at my house was the ongoing joke in my garage.

The NA class I was going to run in required me to run a carb or add 100 lbs and the only way to do that was to run a cowl or scoop. The scoop couldnt be over 5 inches tall so it limited options and the cowl would have had to be really tall to work.
