Posted by: GoFastRacer on June 08 2009,6:13 am

Picked up a new ride over the weekend, got it from Cali but it's an AZ car, no rust and it's not beat up it's real solid. Only thing is the front end, it needs to be completely rebuilt, of course I wasn't told that up front!. :banghead but I came out ok with it anyhow, just didn't want to do that much work on it, but I need something to do anyhow, right!.. :rolleyes  :laugh

Very Nice Art! :good      Looks to be in really good shape. I don't see any dents form the pic's. That front end work will be a snap. Not hard to do at all if you can find the bushings.

Great find! :good  :beer

Thanks Rod, Yeah, I looked at bunch of them and none came close to this one, and all were more expensive. There's only one spot on the left quarter but it's because it was repaired at one time and they didn't do it right!..  :beat Front end is nothing, you can get complete kits for them, I was kinda looking at this, pretty simple deal just bolt it on!.. :good

No "cancer" at all she's rust free, car has been in Gilbert it's whole life until this guy bought it, in fact it still has the Az plate on it!.

First place I looked was the tailgate and nothing at all, I was surprised I couldn't find any rust anywhere, that one spot is from a blotched up repair. It does need all new window seals and door rubber though!.. I'll pass on the plumbers tape though!.. :bebe  :laugh
Posted by: GoFastRacer on July 13 2009,6:04 am

Started looking into the front end over the weekend, and the more I dug into it the more junk I found, just about everything is original and wore out completely!. :banghead So, since I'm buried in this thing I may as well do it "right", so tubular A arms, a rack and disc brakes are replacing the stock weak stuff!.. :good


Posted by: Carrera Elite on July 13 2009,7:44 am

That'll Be Alot Nicer!! Is That A 4 Or 5 lug Car?? :stupid
Posted by: GoFastRacer on July 14 2009,5:45 am

Yes it will, it's a 4 lug now but will be 5 when it's all done!. I wasn't going to do this at first, but when I started pricing all the parts that it needs to rebuild it stock(with "good" stuff)and still have a weak suspension that won't last, this don't cost much more and will last a long time, so over the long run it's not really more expensive!..Oh, and not to mention spending a $hit load of hours trying to clean 47 years of crud build up, when the oil filter was changed the spillage on the frame was never wiped up!..  :eek  :eek  :rolleyes  :laugh
Posted by: Carrera Elite on July 14 2009,3:26 pm

Changing The Rear To 5 Lug?? :stupid
Posted by: GoFastRacer on July 15 2009,5:23 am

If I had the parts maybe, stuff is back ordered said it would be a week and a half, so I figure another week yet. So, in the meantime I'll get the front all cleaned up along with the motor, and maybe start on the rear end!.. Know anyone that has aluminum side and valve covers for an inline 6 laying around, oh, and a set of headers and intake also!.  :stupid  :D

Thanks Gary, I will post pics of the progress!. I'm not doing a basic rebuild on this thing since the factory suspension is weak, I'm replacing the whole works with tubular A arms, eliminating the strut rods, putting a rack in and disc brakes, should last a long time not to mention a huge increase in handling!.. :good

Yep, that's what I'm looking for is Clifford, not sure what it is, it's a low deck but the casting numbers says it's a 292, but all 292's are tall decks. :stupid Low decks are 194-250!. I got the motor out and ready to clean it, gonna have to put all new gaskets in it so when I pull the pan I'll check the crank numbers!... BTW, if you find a set of Mercury covers, they will work too!.. And thanks for looking!.. :good  :beer

I've talked to some that say they are getting 30, but I think that would take some head work for that??, but without going into the motor just a good intake/exhaust system and overdrive, should be able to get 27 out of it, that's what I'm shooting for anyways!.. :good
Posted by: GoFastRacer on July 19 2009,5:48 am

Got the ole scraper and pressure washer out yesterday, must have dropped 50lbs off the front!. :eek Next step is to remove the wore out steering box and column, a new IdidIt tilt column comes with the rack kit!.. :good

Well, found out that they don't make an a-arm that works with the rack I have, but I can get the right ones from the same place I got the rack so I ordered them. Now for the pisser, it comes in silver or black powdercoat and wouldn't you know it, they're out of the black and it's a 3-4 week wait for the next batch to come back from the powdercoater....

The whole pile is in a box not gonna use any of it, putting all new tubular a-arms and getting rid of the strut rods, 1" lowered coils, and rack steering and a disc break kit. Bought a CPP mini subframe kit but found out the lower a-arms work with stock steering and not the rack kit I got, so I had to order the a-arms from the ones I got the rack from, but there's a 4 week wait till they come back from the powdercoater!. So now I have an a-arm kit for sale!.. :rolleyes

Well, I bought a deluxe kit with upper a-arms, lowered coils and shocks!. I would have to send the whole kit back and turn around and order half of it back, they charge a 25% re stocking fee and it would cost for shipping, and that would be just about the same as what the basic kit cost, so it's actually cheaper to just sell the parts I don't need!.. :rolleyes

Got the upper and lower A-Arms on, nice bolt in deal, hope to get the rack in today then start on the brakes!..






Got a set of Mercruiser covers from a boat junk yard in OK, he had a few sets don't look too bad, a little TLC and they'll look like new!.



Also picked up an intake manifold!..



Got the motor all cleaned up and painted, the oil pan was beat up big time but hopefully I got it straightened out enough and it don't leak!.. The thing was sitting for 10 years and the oil seperated and had no body left to it at all, it was just like water and the bottom of the pan looked like it was full of tar, makes for very short bearing life along with everything else, but I got it all drained out as much as I could, I'll run it for an hour with fresh oil to wash it out then dump it, then it should be ok!. I did pull a mian and rod cap and the bearings look like they just came out of the box, so it is a good motor!...

Heck I lost track of what I got in it, I'll dig out the receipts and add it up, kinda curious myself now!.. It's not that much considering what you have over the factory junk front end. I take it the thing is all wore out just like mine huh? :stupid But if this is strictly a 1/4 mile car, there are alternatives that are not as pricey and really just as good!. I replaced everything even the steering column there is nothing left from the factory on mine, I could have kept the steering column and the upper A-arms, just didn't want to spend all the time cleaning and rebuilding them, didn't really need a rack either,  just cleans everything up and makes it nicer on the road!.. :good

Cool car!. :good Looked through the paper work and it's right around $2700 for the whole works, that's from the steering column to the brakes, but the CBR kit is the big expense but I figured since I was buried in this thing I may as well go all out on it!. But for a 1/4 mile car you can do it for almost half, even changing to a rack you can use the factory cross member, then you can use a rear sump pan. Oh, and you don't need a fancy tilt column either!.. :laugh

Yeah, from 82-86 they were bad but as the years went on they kept doing upgrades on them little at a time until 86, 87 on up are good, the 4L60 is the same tranny just a different name from 91 on!.. It's just a core so it needs to be rebuilt, putting in a full manual valve body in it also, and toggle switch for the converter!..

On the first ones, all we had to do was pull the pump, drill a relief hole and replace a seal and gasket. $1000 and up on most. I felt like a theif all the way to the bank. :D

Actually what it was, the hole is a drain and was too small so it pushed the seal out, another problem was the bushing moving out, the newer ones have a large hole and a lip for the bushing to seat against!...

My mechanics thought it was easier to just drill a second hole instead of enlargeing the existing hole. I really didn't care which way they did it as long as it worked and didn't come back. Didn't have a lot of bushing problems, most were probably to new.

Mine Uses 14 2X6's And 1 2X2....Thought About One 2X8 and 13 2X6's......The Only Reason That I Can Think Of , That They Use Smaller Lumber Is, It May Be Easier To Screw Down To Keep It From Warping?? :stupid
Posted by: GoFastRacer on Nov. 10 2009,6:41 am

How wide is yours mine is 76", mine didn't warp it was just rotten and falling apart, they had them screwed down close to the center with two screws each and with the end plates it stayed pretty flat!..

One 2X8 and 13 2X6's would be better than a piece of 2x2 I would think, but 80" would give quite a bit of gap in the wood wouldn't it??.. :stupid

Derivative of the "Cheap" condition. Most people suffering from this condition are forced to buy sub-par products thus causing the said product to be deemed "Cheap", as sub-par products usually cost less.

Slight delay, had to send the rack back for a modified one and different clamp on the passenger side, just got it back a couple of days ago. Apparently IL6's use V-8 mounts and are mounted higher in 2nd gen Novas, 1st gen sits lower and the pan hits on the passenger side, maybe get the motor back in over the weekend if it's not too cold!.. :banghead

There's a reason it was slipping. :eek
Posted by: GoFastRacer on Dec. 12 2009,4:29 am

Well, pulled all the clutches out and there is no signs of slipping and don't look like it ever went into 4th gear, what I was told it was in a work truck that went 4 miles round trip from yard to yard that explains why it never went into 4th, so they must have yanked it out immediately at the first sign of slipping!.. Now the question is why was it slipping???, could be the lip seals on the pistons have hardened up, but there is no signs of excessive heat but I'll find out for sure when pull the pistons out, could be dirt in the valve body??? ain't gonna mess with it since it's not going back in!. What I'm thinking is it went in for service and someone decided to adjust the POS TV cable and messed it up???... But whatever, the whole thing is like new, bushings have no wear whatsoever same for sealing rings!.. So it looks like a paper and rubber and frictions and it's good to go, except for a couple of tweaks here and there of course!.. :good

The tranny is done except for the valve body, had to order new plate gaskets(back ordered of course)finally got them after a two week wait and wouldn't you know it they sent the wrong ones  :angry But TCI were good about it they sent a replacement out right away, should get them Tuesday I hope!.. :good

Ok, got the motor and the tranny back in after a major hassle with the crossmember but it's all good now. Just finished up the front brake lines, first time I ever done this and what a PITA this was, kinda looks like $hit but that's the way it goes it ain't gonna be a show piece anyhow and I can't afford all the waste,LOL... And it's time to move on with the project!... :good

weather I got a chance to work on the car, put in the new

Nice... thats a really clean front-end assembly with the no rub at full articulation?  Is there enough room to box-in the stems? Might look cleaner in that space.....

In any case, nice install!!  Hope the rest of the build goes this well!  :good

Thanks Kelly, it is quality stuff and the weak stock front end is gone, I'm making a couple of caps to cover the stems now, really a simple deal just a cover using a flat head that replaces the zerk fitting!... They did an article on Super Chevy about it, pretty impressive!.. :good
