JimmyJam's TBSS

[jimmyjam]

Wanted to unveil my latest build at Carlisle, but since I had some technical difficulty, might as well post some pics

This is the day I bought it LOL

Heres an older pic with the 20s on

Painted headlights, fiberglass cowl, carriage works grill, powdercoated calipers.
Belltech drop shocks, rear springs. DJM upper A-arms. Spohn adjustable panhard bar. Hotchkis rear sway bar.

Shaved rear bumper. Magnaflow catback

Here it is recently with Saab 9-7x wheels. Rears widened 2" to fit 305 Nitto 555r's out back with 1.5" spacers.

This is what the engine bay looks like right now. Still a few changes coming.

Slides right out of there. Note: it was originally AWD.

Before paint

After

Block work done by Scotty's Racing in Spring Hill. Bored out .030 over. (it was burning oil)
Diamond Pistons, Callies crank and rods. Big cam 408CID

L92 heads that came CNCed from TexasSpeed, got them worked on locally at HPS Cylinder Heads

Kooks 1 3/4 headers, freshly coated. Had to bend the c6 dipstick tube to clear and make an extension bracket.

Oil pan mods, remote filter, drain valve

Home made AC compressor bracket.

A little bit of wire tucking. 42# injectors

Rebuilt my transmission
Here is a pic of the low/reverse apply spring compressor I made out of a pvc fitting and some metal stock

This is a pic of the reverse input apply spring compressor

Yank PTB3200

Trans cooler in the front driver bumper grill. Horn is down there too now.

Trans cooler lines

 

[jimmyjam]

Engine and trans. Trans was converted to RWD, hence the shiny tailshaft.
Sonnax servo showing, as well as -6an adapters for cooler lines

Engine by itself mostly together

SSR battery box out back.

0/2 running up front, 250a mega fuse up there

Ron Davis 2" radiator. Has leaked on me twice. ugh.

Doug's exhaust cutout

This is what my trunk looks like right now. Memphis 75x4 1200x1 amp. Memphis sub with a broken spider.

Thanks for looking

We are not worthy to gaze upon this work of high art and technology!

I've never seen you take this many pics at one time. You gunning for my paparazzi duties at our meets now?

most of these where posted in the what did you do to your gmt thread over the last 2 months of agony I've endured

 

[The_Roadie]

Ahhhh, I hardly ever look in that thread because of the tiny things some folks post about, like "I washed and detailed my inside rear view mirror today... Whew!" .

 

[RayGumm]

This is awesome dude. Sorry you had difficulties. Would have been nice to see you and this awesome machine at Carslisle. Woulda been the only non-I6 motor there haha! O well. Next year, eh?

Same here, I heard of the project from Ghoster, and the recent issues you encountered preventing your train ride to a state with low humidity and a weekend of reasonable summer temperatures.

Amazing work. Well Done sir!

 

[jimmyjam]

yeah, i generally just browse the last page of those types of threads, hence collating it all in its own thread for all to behold.

well.. new rear main seal came in the mail today. I... umm... I didn't replace it this last time... ugh have to deal with those damn TC bolts again!
I was pretty busy with work thursday through saturday, so its probably better that I missed carlisle. I'd be so far in the weeds tomorrow when I'd get back...
