Mike, the car looks great. These have always been one of my all time favorite rides. Good call on the Tick remote bleeder. I elected to not use a remote bleeder on mine, and I ended up having to build a special wrench to reach the factory bleeder. Keep at it!

I just love the GN's, these are still such a bad azz looking car! I have a friend up here in IL that still has his 87, his is a street car but has been in storage for a long time now. Last time at the track it went 9.0 yeah street car!!

Keep it up, I like the wheels on it as well!

I had to take a break from the car for a few weeks, but I'm back on it. I knocked out the brake lines today. I still had lines from about the frame rail back and up to the front corners, but I had to get from the new master down to the frame rail. I get better at brake lines each time I do them, but there is still so much room for improvement.





I also installed my coil packs for the XIM addition. I had a belt drive distributor and MSD 7AL2 box on it before. The XIM should be more long distance friendly and removing the distributor frees up room for the accessories.





For the first time since I've owned the car, it has a working parking brake. I had to source all the parts, but it wasn't too hard.

Sweet build man I really like the directions your going. We needs to see moreof these cars built like this.

I got a little done on the trans swap this weekend. My block has a lot of crank centerline offset because of a line hone issue a while back. So, that requires some offset dowel pins. I measured and had .039" runout. That is a .0195" offset. I was going to order a set of offset dowel pins from Robbmc.com, but they were on back order, so I made my own.


While I had the bellhousing on the motor, I measured for the hole for the shifter. This is the minimum I'll need to cut. It may need more cut once the trans is in the car. I'll make a sheet metal cover and put a lower boot from a mustang on the floor once I get it all situated.


McLeod RXT clutch looks like blown apart. They sent me some metric bolts where I needed standard, so I can't put it in just yet.


I mocked up the slave and shifter while it's on the floor.

Very well done on your GN transformation. If you don't mind what sizes are you wheels?
