Thanks for all Your replies, they are highly appreciated. First we hoped to get this thing running for next year, but it was alot harder to sell our cars than we expected, and I got really screwed in a trade between my TTA and a Mustang
Yes, this chassi weighed about 2300lbs. The rules of the class we aim for say a minimum weight of 2000lbs.
The first thing we´ll do now is to pick up block, heads, crank and alot of other stuff for it. We can´t use it all, much is old crap. But we do get three diffrent set of rockers, lots of unused valvesprings, revkit, carillos, etc, etc. Here are some pictures of them parts http://www.turbolunkan.com/pics(stage2).htm
The heads need to be refurbished and major bowlwork is needed, but Uffe is a good welder and we have great contact with a raceshop (former promod team). We now have to decide whether to go single or twin turbos so that we can start weld the headers.
Best regards from Sweden

Hello again guys!
Today Lunkan and i picked up the engine.
Geeezzz.... it sure looks funny with such a small engine in the Trans Am chassie. pics are attached.
Anyway.... we took a closer look in the cases engine and parts came with, new bearings included, i think it must be at least 5 sets of valvesprings + the revkit springs.
The bearings where TRW and Clevite.
Hehehe.... there was also a roller cam in the bottom of one case but i'll guess that we can't grind that one?

You couldn´t resist, could You
It sure was alot of parts, but I don´t think that we´ll be able to use much of it... Take a shot of all parts too.
Actually, the block wasen't so heavy... i lifted it in by myself..... the biggest problem is the heat right now....
Will get some pics later today of all "crap".
Big Stu said:Looks like a nice parts collection. What struts are on the front of that thing?
Thanks Big Stu!
From what i understand they are made by a Swedish racing company, Bjäred racing products and the complete chassie is an "old" Pro Stock, "old" means that the car has some years on it but hardly not driven.
I think that the complete chassie is made by them.
I laughed when i saw the braking pads... size is approx. 1 inch diam.... and they are only singel....
All to save weight, i lifted the front end with one hand.
Weldon pumps or aeromotive. Aeromotive makes a belt driven pump which some guys that make 2500+ hp use, seems to work fine for them. I am guessing you will have to run two for the volume that methanol requires? Either way, two banks of 160's is a lot of injectors.

My friend is building a 422" with 3 banks of injectors....

He is president and i'm vicepresident in our local drag race club.
TurboTR said:Hmm... Are you any relation to Magnus Samuelsson? lol
TurboTR
Aaahh.... i do see that you have done yor homework well!
Actually, Magnus is honured member in our Trans Am Club of Sweden, but.... i'm not related to him.... he owns a -77 SE TA, i'm used to work hard every day at my work as a foreman/stevedoor in our port...... have been doing this for 21 years now....
but my muscles seems to disapper down to lower parts of my body now.... PS: For you who don't know who Magnus is, he is a competer in strongest man in the world and have won the title once.

Yes Sir, thank you, we need all backup and all info we can get for the moment.
Looks like the pump's are made in aluminiun, are they anoxied on the inside as well?
You know that methanol oxides pure aluminium badly.
Any one here like Bill Andersson or someone else that can mail us some pics of the build up and what parts you have used?
All info and pics can be mailed to: turbouuffe@bredband.net
Today i had a long talk with my protruck friend and he recommended us to use the biggest Holset Turbo, any one wannna chime in on this?
Thank you all so much for your help and backup on this project!
