the rear LSD is inside with the right numbers concerning backlash and pinion...

The gearbox has received the kit and the TCI pan.



due to what is seems to be a wrong liquid cooler, all the aluminum parts of the cooling system is out !



some parts ready for powdercoating



SPECTRE funnels in the high beams...




problem with the carb fuel inlet, it hits the TA Performance intake...i have to order a 1" carb spacer and change the hat spacer from 2" to a 1" one...



the headers have been ceramic coated but haven't been polished, so i tried to but it was too boring...i will add header wrap to them....

Here you can see the plate i made to suits the console and install 2 switches, fuel and ignition.




Let me know what you would do.....

time to fit the intercooler with some fabrications...






I had to cut the tubing and make some beads at the end of the tubes, I used a bead roller.

the jauge pod is in place =) fuel and boost pressure

next step , getting rid of the column shifter...





I had bought a tilt floor shifter column from a monte carlo (dixit seller) and I mixed the two comlumn using the monte housing in place of the Buick one...




job done....

[Macbuick]

with my modified Unimatic shifter,
I built a mounting box to place it under my console..



the welds are as is as they will be hidden

[Macbuick]

Koni shocks are in place as well as the SPC upper arms.....in place of the CPP ones.





next step the eletricity, MSD and fuel pump.....

[Macbuick]

sump tank is welded.....





I made a plate to bolt the fuel pump between the tank and the rear bumper...


I ordered a sandwich plate to place between the oil filter in order to have more holes to fit the oil pressure and T°....
