Newbie coming on board here. Here goes...
Basics on my '86 Trans Am:
WS6 suspension
New interior via Hawks third gen
305 TPI
700R4 trans
SLP runners
Summit 1104 flat tappet cam
prom burning equipment
...and a MIG welder. What else do you need?
Parts already purchased or otherwise acquired:
Aluminum tapped tubes (in my spec'ed lengths supplied from Coleman racing products online) for rear trailing arms and panhard rod.
Steel tubing from same for custom strut to firewall tie bar and steering brace (AKA "wonderbar").
Tubing and sheet metal from local metal supplier for subframe connectors.
Dropzone 2" drop specific rate springs (700 front and 400 rear)
Weight jacks supplied from Coleman (still not 100% sure I will use them).
Lt1 intake, fuel rail, AFPR. Modified by me to run a distributor for use with older style small block. Control will be by the stock TPI ECU, harness, and custom dyno tuned chip by me.
305 block with SCAT 9000 stroker crank, KB pistons, 5.7" GM powder metal rods. Full ARP studs and splayed 4 bolt mains. Don't tell me to not run a 305 block because I've already been there and done that with some larger Chevy engines. Besides, this setup only cost me $200! :seizure: If a 350 roller block and 383 pistons fall into my lap, I'll use them, but until then, this is what I've got to play with.
Still to purchase:
Wheels (if I decide not to keep my stock optioned rims)
tires (need new even if I stick with the stock 16's)
Trans - 6 speed swap if I can swing it. Know of any rebuildable ones anywhere?
Suspension bushings
More pics will be posted shortly on my website, including pics of her winter wheels with moon discs. This is my year round daily driver!!!
