thats Travis.... his grandpa i do believe was REALLY big into caddys, thats the reason for doing all this damn work. that update of putting fluids in and testing it was AWHILE ago, who knows if this thing is rollin yet

[ponyride00]

Thats pretty cool.

[Cryptic]

I think I talked to him a long while ago... never thought he would actually make it happen... HOLY SH!T

[Flight_740]

He was on WICGP talking about that car about a year ago. Very cool. The northstar is an awsome motor.

3 piece leaky blocks..

[Flight_740]

Yea, this is true.

[HP ADDICT]

I talked to him the other day. He was getting ready to fire it up!! He was hoping a custom cnc'd flywheel would work. Seems like a pretty creative guy to try all of that!!

noticed that too

[USMARINE1108]

noticed that too

Yea, I was wondering about that myself. But it looks like this guy knows what he's doing! that thing is ganna be sweet.

[Poncho]

just a typo.

he talked to me the other day, wanted me to come down for the finishing touches and see it breathe again.

been down for two years basically

since SlowC5's mod day a few years ago.

I would rather do LS6, but he's a DOHC fanatic.

crazy story. had the mod day, we ran to Walmart, two in my car, two in his, two in another.

He let his girlfriend drive it, she went got around a corner, BOOM.. blew up the diff.

he then decided, WTH, I'll convert it to a manual trans.

converted it to a 5-speed manual via a '91 GP SE w. the 3.4DOHC & 284

It was down for quite a while back then. got it runnin again for a short time.
Then said "OK, time for a V8."

then shortly said, eh.. FWD sucks, I'm gonna turn that northstar sideways & do it right.

it's nearly done. it will be nuts. Even if it's not the fastest out there, that's making a w-body what it shoulda been in the first place. :eek: :wow

w3rd brotha :headbang

[pOrk]

I cant wait to see it in person, any news on if it runs?

[Poncho]

the plan as far as I know was by this weekend.

he's planning on repainting the whole thing right away too.

[Cryptic]

Just talked to Travis... he's firing it up tomorrow.

[soccrplayrgtp]

SHES FREAKING RUNS.... had starting problems for little while and was in the process of starting a business but everything is moving smoothly now!!!

I still have yet to do the slave cylinder (internal on the 02 SS's), fill and bleed the brakes, tighten and go over the entire car and install exhaust off of the headers to just in front of the rear tires.

thanx for compliments gents..

and the pilot bushing is from a 94 LT1 ;)

[soccrplayrgtp]

tomorrow is the drinking party for it Andy lol

[Poncho]

i am sooo coming over. remember, I was there the day this whole thing started --- in the parking lot of Wal-Mart. :)

[TransAm12sec]

To put it simply, that's truly one of a kind.

[Poncho]

i don't even care if it's dog slow.... it's gonna sound sooooo cool..

[tenchu]

i don't even care if it's dog slow.... it's gonna sound sooooo cool..

Crazy!

[soccrplayrgtp]

[SSmike1]

you bet ya mike, i still owe ya jsut been CRAZY busy with this, my business and a four day grudge match in MI this past week/weekend.
more updates later on tonight/tomorrow

[soccrplayrgtp]

this week I finally have time to touch it since the last time I posted :(

[Berettaspeed]

i saw that back in 08 or 09 of 2005.... its just getting finished?? cool. i wasn't sure if it was ever done or what. i was hoping to see this thing on HWY one day....cool.

[Poncho]

it'll never be done. shoot, I was there for the beginning of the project. since then I've owned two different cars. lol.

travis buddy, you do realize it's now coming up on three years since the project started? wow. patient patient man.

joanna still owes you a diff, lol.

[pOrk]

3 years, wow. I could only widh of being so patient. Cant wait to see it done, this thing is gonna be MEEEEAN

[soccrplayrgtp]

its been tough, dont get me wrong, but WELL WELL will be worth it in the end..

[GTSLOW]

So what do you have left to do?

[soccrplayrgtp]

my slave cylinder was maxin out and blowing seals. So i gotta pull the trans again, do a few measurements and make a spacer to bring it up closer to the clutch. Then I have to figure out my pulley configuration and put those on. annnnnnd what else... weld in my sheet metal trunk yet, cause I dont wannabe ROASTED if I get rear ended.

:) so not all too much but enough to keep me busy and designing morecrap for the car for a few days

Cant WAIT!!

[Poncho]

any weight reduction?? I'll kick you if it's not deep into the 13's "stock"

also gears?? Better put in 4.10's. they'll love that 7k redline and Tremec.

[soccrplayrgtp]

i got 3.42's in it, they'll do me well at 80MPH when I drive around the country this summer. Weight reduction, hmmm, I may be a few hundred under stock, so im aiming for 3100lbs. Stock STS does a decent 1/4 in 14.6ish so I shouldbe 13.5 or so before I put in the ported heads and performance cams/springs. That will put me well into the 12's.
