Long term blowthru build

Car is going to be a full interior, weekend cruiser with a suspension setup that would let me enjoy a nice hard run out some old country roads if I want. I started the project straight out of undergrad with plans on taking no longer than 6mnths, but thanks to getting into med school the car will have been sitting a little over two years now :bangwall:
Here is my setup:
90 GT Hatch
306ci
9.5:1 Comp.
Edelbrock Performer 58cc Chamber Heads
RPM AirGap
Comp Cams XE270HR-14 cam
.512/.512 lift
218/224 duration
110' centerline
WC T5 (till it blows)
CSU 750 (on order)
EV composite hat(used for the build)
MSD 6AL (all MSD stuff)
MSD Boost Timing Control
Vortech S-Trim (pullied for 15psi)
LM1 wideband
Glens performance sumped
Aeromotive Eliminator pump
Aeromotive 13202 reg

Starting point:

Few more pics of the build.

Boost tube fab, not bad for an amateur welder.

Few of the engine fitment to measure for hood height before going to pick the hood up. Also a final assembled shot to measure for belt lengths and a few other mods and to figure out A/C routing.

Some chassis and underbody pics

Few random shots and the beginning of my parts pile strewn across the basement. By now I think it has grown x4.

Couple pics of some inner fender panels a guy over at corral.net makes. Very little trimming was needed.

Managed to get finished welding one panel in the other day and the other tacked, now all that is left is some smoothing down of the welds, and some All-Metal filler.

A few pics of some interior toys: the gauges are identical to mine except I'm using Phantom series gauges and I added linear light for my fan, placed between the water temp and volt gauges. My gf was messing with my new camera and deleted everything. I was only able to get the pics that I had already posted elsewhere online :doh: .

Nice build cant wait to see it done.:bigthumb

In the mean time I still have my daily driver.:D

Good looking project!

Thanks, next step is waiting on my carb to get powder-coated and reworked by CSU.

Your engine looks similar to mine.

My combo is 331 stroker tko tremec and 125 shot


Checkout the Wht Mare thread in projects.

Project Wht Mare, been watching the updates on it. Good looking build, I always love it when someone sticks with a manual.

Thanks!

Manual is the only way to go,way more fun to drive!

Plus you can run umtr!

Looks great man!

Im doing the same thing with mine right now, fixing all that stuff in the engine compartment. Can you get me in touch with the guy you got those panels from?
Im in dire need of some!

Sure no problem, PMed you his email. He's selling them for $90 shipped

Looks like a great project,should be a blast when finished,good luck

where did you get the piece for the center console that moves the a/c controls and radio and let you put the gauges in there?
