Very nice stainless work!

yes it is. 304 is very expensive and looks good in turbo applications. Its pretty much the only way to go with turbo applications IMO. you will save money in the long run.

X2 Looks great.

here is my custom fab 9 rearend .

nice healthy torque arm

anti roll bar

 

[daverr]

. Since my car is heavy the best thing to go with is a TH400 transmission.
It has a JW housing,vasco input shaft,aluminum forward and direct drum,36 element sprag,300xx mainshaft, steel alloy forward clutch hub and a transbrake.

 

[pajo]

that is come craftmanship -- more power to ya and good luck with the rest of the build .

 

[daverr]

thanks but i cant take most of the credit as there a few good people helping me along. Stay tuned for rear coil over and dual caliper per side on the differential from Strange engineering. Also i have a few things i might change up.

 

[DCVING 6]

Is this car being built locally?

 

[daverr]

Yes the car is being built within the chicagoland area.

[daverr]

Sorry if I missed it in your combo above but what brand is the intake and throtle body(what size) and what size injectors are you planning to use .?

It`s a brodix intake manifold. the throttle body is a wilson manifold 105mm. Injectors might be 160lb or i might add another set of injector bungs .

 

[daverr]

Rear suspension is finished.

Here is the Strange coil over shocks. Along with a 5 gallon aluminum fuel tank soon to be anodized . Fuel tank will be filled from stock filler neck location.Panhard bar has been replaced by a wishbone setup.
