Project Formychicken 2.Slow

[SSlowBoat]

I am an idiot. picked this thing up in wildwood nj saturday. Bone stock 95 formula auto. i have been missing my og tubbyformy since 2014, i had been trying to buy it back for the past 3 years but the owner was out of his mind (i sold the car for 3k with a roller 94 camaro in 2014, he wants 3k and the car is in way worse shape than when i sold it).

so, while "killin time" at work on Thursday, i found this for the right price. drove down saturday and scooped it. atleast it was "garage kept" so the floors arent rotted out. allegedly "mechanic owned" prior to the person i got it from. the seller only put 800 miles on it since 2013, he used it to cruise around wildwood when he was at his beach house.

already found some questiobable "mechanic" repairs, and the rad blew idling in the driveway. but, it will do a burnout. 197k miles, same mileage i got my first formy with.

since the rad and hoses all have to be changed, along with the fuel return line underhood having to be repaired, passenger side manifold leak, ac delete, i am strongly tempted to drop the k and just put my heads cam motor in it right away.

what say you ltxtech fam, run the stock high miler for a bit and swap in winter? or swap next weekend?

also, who wants some true staggered zr1's? will trade for some ss 10 spokes.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200525/264c1de17dd0619884a787cbf3f8280e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200525/c70eab9a29990cda0fe0343556faf593.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200525/34fdef93800c5ab9f3ebbe6787f49611.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200525/d106e71ff55c0b67a89d4aa0137cddad.jpg

I do, but after some thought, i dont have a built trans. If i put my le2 motor in, the stock high mile 4l60e is probably gonna exit stage left pretty quick. So in the meantime i am just swapping my electric water pump, accessories and bracket, and ltcc over. Get this on the road then figure out what else is up. winter time for a cpt 4l60e.

[SSlowBoat]

opti/ac/accessory bracket off, swapping for a black painted one. found a questionable repair on the one power steering line that will now be getting replaced. usps is slackin on my fuel line relocation, still waiting.

i took the opti off and found alot of oil in it. i cleaned it out and will put it back together/convert it to only be a sensor for the LTCC. i have an amazon backup incoming just in case.

bit more progress yesterday and today but nothing pic worthy. got the stock manifolds and y pipe off without breaking a bolt, got my other accessory bracket put on, removed cruise control, painted lower core support, started looking into all the questionable wiring.

pulled my le2 motor from the 89 and sold the 89 today. put it on an engine dolly and am slowly picking at it for things i need on this one. fleabay speed daddy headers (@kitt8090 suggested) should be here tuesday. once they arrive hope to have them in by end of week, wire up ltcc, and hit the key

[SSlowBoat]

fleabay headers showed up. dna motoring/speed daddy pacesetter knock offs. they are actually built well so far. i had to dent the #2 primary in 2 spots. one was necessary (motor mount bracket) and one was due to worn rubber motor mounts.

got the passenger side in. been like 8 years since doing them in the car, as opposed to dropping the k-member, and i forgot how much it SUCKED.

drivers side install will be wednesday night and waiting for my felpro 1406 gaskets to show up. started pillaging my h/c motor for parts already. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200616/02c5a24a7e160cd08c0f5eef5d02d5b9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200616/d5812a1d89708edba318b868401f1768.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200616/6678bbcb23a3caed65c1038b6e45812a.jpg

cluster***k today. got some time after taking my son to the doc to work on the bird. passenger side header was all mocked up, started mocking up drivers side, and ran into a bunch of issues.

I didnt plan on changing motor mounts until winter when i put in my le2 motor. Welp drivers side was hitting motor mount bracket. ok clearanced bracket easily. put steering shaft in, hit both center primaries....shit. no one local had a new rubber one in stock, but since we are ltjuan hoarders, i had a drivers side poly already in the bracket.

it still hit, so proceed to clearance. I may have went a little far with the hammer, but roadkill proved you dont lose much with dented primaries. now it fits, clears, etc. got the gasket in and drivers side header is buttoned up.

passenger side will be completed after motor mount, then ltcc and fire it off.

I blame Catmaigne for jinxing me on the header hitting the steering shaft. he stopped by to trade torque arms from his firehawk, and he mentioned i may run into it with these headers...dick!!!

Steve's Spohn's first version of a torque arm. With anything other than stock power/torque, the single slider tube at the front (inside the bellows) will start to bend. He repaired mine by inserting a solid steel bar tight inside the hollow tube. When we did the stroker, he convinced me to do a complete replacement with a newer design.

progress on this car or any car for that matter has been slow due to life in general. this year has been crazy. we ended up getting back into mountain biking heavy and spent what little free time doing that, as i just didnt have any motivation to do anything so i wanted to do something active that the kids could be part of (and be a little more interested in).

well, i ended up hurting L4-L5 in my back doing of all things, yard work, not riding HAH. Since i cant ride and have to take it easy for a bit, focus has moved back to the bird.

spent some time tonight mocking up intake from used parts collected over the years (filter is actually from the fiesta intake kit), fixing wiring issues and being the ziptie king. Need to get some heater hose tomorrow, wire ewp, put y pipe on, and bring it outside to bleed coolant.

if all goes right i hope to be roasting em in the driveway tomorrow, then pull it back in and start tearing the rear suspension/axle out.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200927/91e044ebd9918c647c3a59d38a65fa00.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200927/7ae0f3743ad91d7601352605dea69e24.jpg

rear is in. have to button up panhard adjustment, torque arm adjustment, and possibly drop the lca's to the lowest hole on the relocation brackets. i did the hose mod to the stock rear springs and the lca appears just barely level, possibly pitched up.

That's respectable for the mods done. Nice job.

[JOATMON]

That's a damned good run, good reaction time, pretty good 60ft, great et and trap speed. The ET is better than the one night I tried mine on the track. I couldn't run any faster than a 13.41@110 due to lack of traction on the street tires(Rikens too). Smoked em all the way through first, second and would finally catch traction about top of third gear. It has Mickeys on the back now but I haven't gotten it back to the track. Still need to do a ring and pinion job.
Congrats on getting it to the strip, sorry for the slight highjack.

What are the plans for the motor?have a le2 heads/cam motor sitting here, also have a afr le ported top end and nitrous cam laying around that i could purchase/repurpose with a stout bottom end for spray.

sounds like the general consensus between my family and I is learn nitrous on the stock longblock until it hand grenades. gives me time to assemble the afr motor (forged 383 bottom end).

Shortly after I got my car, I ported the intake with a carbide bit on the car after shoving a wet rag in it. It was hideous and eventually was machine ported (aka cleaned up my hack job. Ah yes, the days when you just assume a totally stock LT1 will make more usable power with a junk Summit 58mm TB.

I'm looking forward to seeing your car in action. You are anticipating breakage at some point, but it will probably last forever. ...until the 300 shot.

Edit - Nice job!!

Thank you. I stuffed a cut up t-shirt covered in wheel bearing grease in the intake to catch the aluminum, along with plugging the iac hole with a rubber cork/grease, and pipe cleaners in the pcv openings behind the divider (again grease covered). it looks like i got 98% of the shavings out. used a dremel grout removal bit to rough the opening, then 60 grit sanding drums on the dremel to clean it up. It actually went surprisingly well, and it looks decent enough that my fiance thought i got an intake from someone, she said theres no way you did that with a dremel :)

just gonna keep plugging away at it. i know i need a converter and trans more than anything, so thats the goal right now. but if for whatever reason i cant get one before track season, its getting sprayed the way it sits.

tore down the le2 motor to help out jay with his issues. hes getting my le 227/235 cam and le2 heads, those funds will go to Ltconvert for those le ported afr heads he has and the nitrous cam that was specd for a 355. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201213/0cd533befd00d0d9115c3f6df59a039c.jpg

original owner of engine went 10.81 all motor in a very gutted camaro at atco, and many low 11.xx passes. i would be very happy to just be in the 11's with it on motor. id like to skip the 12's like we did in the procharged car (car never went 12's, went from 13.2 heads/cam to 11.2x lol)

we are taking bets on what lets go first, the 10 bolt, or the trans. I am reusing the converter from Ltconvert 's camaro (he went to a gucci converter cuz more boost and i get his hand me downs). i may throw a transgo shift kit in since this kind of took away the cpt trans budget for now.

set shift point to 5k set rev limiter to 6800 and see what happens?

note to everyone. russel pushlock hose does NOT want to come off plastic fittings, so dont forget the clamp [emoji3]

I had a 327 back in the day that got around. I was the third owner and it just wouldn't break. I literally wore it out, it never smoked from the tailpipes but it got blow-by so bad it would come through the vents when you stood on it and choke you inside the car. LOL

It was a bit of a struggle trying to coordinate the schedules of 3 people that work too much. There were 3 people involved because I don't own a truck so as usual I had to get my buddy @Sahara 54 involved in my Tom foolery. So of course schedules kept changing and plans kept getting pushed so @ SSlowboat was cool enough to say I'm just going to deliver it.
Mind you this is a 2 1/2 to 3 hour trip for him. Each way.
So big shout out to Shaun for that. Definitely above and beyond.

I will start a new thread on this motors new life in Delaware. Probably going to be a little while before it gets moving. Pretty sure I have convinced myself to send my stock T56 to Tick to have it upgraded after hearing how many transmissions this motor has eaten.

Thanks again to Shaun and Cameron .

Ouch, Hurts my heart to see any Camaro or Firebird going to a scrap yard. I drive by two scrap yards here every day. I saw a early Mustang body being lifted on top the mountain of scrap a few years ago. Brought a lil tear to my eye.
I brought a couple of garage door openers to a scrap yard recently. told the guy I didn't want any money for them just take them off my truck.
While unloading them, a guy was dropping off a real clean jeep suv on a roll back wrecker. I'm thinking something is wrong with this picture, about that time the giant claw crane smashed the roof in a couple times and lifted it away into the mountain. WOW

Things are only value if you value them, otherwise, most folks see cars are just, cars.
