This isnt my first thread on the forums, actually my second but I wanted to introduce myself. I am a car junkie from Louisville KY, and also a computer geek. I dont have alot of expirence hands on with cars but Ive done my research and now getting into the hands on part more and more recently.
Ive owned a highly modded 93 eclipse (first gen DSM) but ended up selling it bc it was so unreliable. I ended up buying a 95 Pontiac Trans Am M6 and did some minor mods... UDPs, K&N Intake, Full custom exhaust w/ shorties, SPEC stage 2+ clutch with lighten drilled pressure plate and a few other minor mods... I miss the beautiful looks but I needed more power in a cheaper package. I know the LT1 is probably a better engine but i can 350 parts all day alot cheaper. Anyways I traded my friend for his 92 RS and 3500 cash and turned around and bought a completely built 350 (built by my girlfriends dad). I dont know exactly whats inside off the top of my head but i know it has a forged bottom end with 10:1 compression, the heads are aftermarket and milled, double valve springs, full roller rocker setup, aftermarket intake manifold, 750 Holley carb increased to a 870 and a dual line fuel pump. Ill get more specific specs later. I bought a MSD 6AL ignition, solid motor mounts, a TH400 tranny with shift kit and 2800 stall and I also building a ford 9" rear for it to be installed in the future along with my NX kit. The car is in a bit rough shape as far as the body goes but just needs a new front bumper, passenger side front quarter panel and passenger side skirt (btw im still looking for a IROC-Z front bumper and RS side skirt... maybe even a cowl induction hood  ). The only reason i took the car was bc the interior was decent, new tires, suspension and brand new full exhaust system with headers).My girlfriends dad previously had this engine in his 69 Chevelle and ran 8 flat in a 1/8 mile, which was pretty impressive considering how heavy that car is. For now I am still working on this engine swap and I can't wait to get it done. Nice to meet everyone here...
