This is the second day i got it and after selling a few parts off it i ended up with a $750 roller. The thing is mint no surface rust and 42,xxx miles.

Then i switched it to 5 lug and put my impala wheels on it after buying new centers for the rims.

Yes i got real lucky with the mustang the guy just had it pianted and he wet sanded about 3/4 of the car and lost interest. When i went and looked at it i could tell the clear coat was pritty thick and new it would turn out nice. I hoped ? When i was there looking at the car he must have had 8-10 calls on the car. So i gave him a deposit and got it the next day. I finished wet sanding it and payed a freind to rub it out and it turned out sweet Paint looks awsome. Its way cleaner then my 95 impala that i did not drive in the winter. But the car had clean ugly maroon interior so that came out and i bought black piece here and there and have everthing now and looks sweet.
I got the motor biult installed and the th350 trans and installed last week end. Worked on it all day. I did this all today so its still a mess. OH and i can change plugs and plug wires in 20-30 minites tops i love it.

update 3/19/08
Might be fireing it up this week end:D
I ended up buying a painless wireing harness to make it easier and it was actally painless:D it comes with a ALDL port and check engine light so i wired in my lt1 scanmaster. My friend and i got all the gauges wired up and got all the lights, brake lights, power windows and trunk popper working. I will have a update in a few days and maybe a video ?

Why do people leave the rear caps off ?? I think it would look incomplete without them.
I have a spare opti on the self but so far i have not needed it in the last 7-8 years i had it. I guess i`m one of the lucky ones..........yes i just knocked on wood:)
Thanks again guys..............I`m going for a ride.

doesn't look right with the wheels. Are they 05 and newer offset cause they look to be the wrong offset.
BIGCOWL-IMP
05-19-2008, 08:29 AM
ya i know and yes 05+. i had to use about a 3/8 spacer in the front with longer wheel studs and the rears still need to come outward i little more. I just wanted to drive it.
juicedz
05-24-2008, 09:42 AM
Yea, I'd leave the racing wheels on it all the time...lol. Did you end up selling your impalas or something? What's the set up on the motor, heads/cam/intake/nitrous?
BIGCOWL-IMP
05-24-2008, 11:06 AM
Ya i sold both of my impala`s
The motor is a stock short block with new pistons etc 355ci. The lt4 heads are the ones i ran about 8-10 years ago. Has a small solid roller cam. I`m useing the nx maf system with the second stage 150 each. I still need to get the rear torque boxes welded up so thats why i took the other wheels off.

Heres a little update.......the new fresh LS motor is running vary well but i can`t get the car to hook up on the street or track. First i tried the M.T E.T. streets 28/11.5/15 and they never hooked so i bought brand new M.T. E.T. drag radials 275/60/15 and they will not hook neither.
So now i`m look for some slicks.

try your drag radieals at around 16 psi and work down...they also like a soft compression on the shock with a tight rebound ...double adjustable stange is what i use ...The DR's will hook but they take a little more tuning ..
BIGCOWL-IMP
09-09-2009, 12:17 PM
Ya i took it back to Milan to see what would happen and i lowered the presure down to 15psi and did a real good and long burn out. I ended up spinning for about 100 feet. I`m going to double check pinion angle today or tomorrow and maybe install my new anti roll bar ?

I still haven't yanked my shortblock out of the convertible yet, no time lately. So far all I know is number eight piston is missing peices, bottom end may have more ugliness. Got a spare ls motor i can build to put in the Pontiac?...Yeah right, I'm broke. Anyway, hope all is well with you, keep in touch.

Ya thats me and ya who ever told you 800hp with a LSX block is full of it. You can clearly see its a aluminum block. I don`t think you can make 800hp with a hydrolic roller cam on 93 pump gas ?
Im sure its possible...
Nice Notch. Looks fast just sitten there!!
