another newbie

[bnoon]

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! 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!!!
