My 94 Trans am

[Blue89RS]

Baught this car for a 1000 bucks almost 2 years ago and havent done much with it, till now. The car was pro charged untill the guy I baught it off of took it. He said it leaked oil everywhere and had bad blowby and wouldnt hardly run. He took the engine apart changed all the gaskets then got it running, but never could get it to run right. I baught it and pulled the motor and it has sat for over a year. When we tore the motor apart we found that a oil ring was broken, most likely due to the pro charger. Now the motor is done and waiting for me to pick up and to get it back into the car. I dont have pictures of the engine yet but will soon.
It has all comp cams drive train including the cc 306 cam, hardened pushrods, roller rockers, and all new bearings. A friend of mine with a 11 second 96 z28 has put it together for me. The car came with kenny brown weld in subframe connectors. I have baught a TCI 3000 stall, 18x10.5 Z06 wheels, Nitrous and few other things to go on the car.

I will get some full body shots of the car tomorrow.

[Blue89RS]

Thanks alot, Ive been excited to get this car done for a while now ,just hadnt had the time or money, but now im finally getting somewhere with it. Ive got my intake powdercoated red like the LT4 intake, k&N cold air intake, and a few other things with the motor that ill get some pictures of. Im ready to actually drive this car becuase when I baught it, it would run for about 10 mins and stall out and die so I just went ahead and pulled the motor.

[Blue89RS]

some body shots and the inside.

You definitely started out right. Awesome. You probably have less in your car than I bought mine for. :D

[Camaro Queen]

Sounds like you will have a great car when you are done. Very nice.

[Blue89RS]

I had these posted in my first post but now there not there so here they are again.

[Blue89RS]

Just a few more, and thank you for the compliments, the body needs a good cleaning and a polish and it should look good.

[Blue89RS]

Just the one, tires have to go on those rims :rotflmao: J/K car looks good should be nice when ya get r did.

[richard96]

Instead of rubber on the road, you will make your own T/A tracks. :)

[Blue89RS]

If i wasnt worried about somebody stealing them, i would leave it on jackstands and keep those rims on it just to keep those ugly stock rims off.

[bakesz28]

I like the early 4th gen TA's.. You'll have fun with it, but man, that car needs a serious detail ;)

Once the engine is back in and running, there will be lots of detailing going on with it.

Man, Jack, you beat me to it!

Wheels look great! Are they wide enough?? :chuckles:

[Blue89RS]

Fronts are 9.5's im hoping to put some 315's in the back but im not sure how well they will fit.

[Blue89RS]

Heres the engine finally, have to put on the ceramic coated hookers and get some shots.

[Blue89RS]

I have this posted in show and shine and dnt know how to move it over here, this seems like a better place to have it.

The engine has the cc 306 cam, port and polished heads with all comp cams components with bee hive valve springs, Comp Cams hardened pushrods, Comp Cams lifters, all new bearings and molly rings. I have a vortech elbo drilled for the nitrous and a k&N cold air intake,For the ignition i have a msd box with msd wires and msd coil. I have ceramic coated Hooker super comp headers and will do 3" exhaust to the back into a slp cat back or bullets not sure yet. I have a auto trans witch was rebuilt to corvette specs and has a shift kit and a 3000 TCI stall to go with it. The car has Kenny Brown weld in subframe connectors. I have a wet Nitrous Kit to go on the car once the engine is back in and running/tuned. I have 18" Z06 rims that are 9.5's up front and 10.5's for the back, still need to decide on tires.

[Bowtie_Z28]

Looks like you have one hell of a start going for yourself :)

[Blue89RS]

Just a few more shots, My plans are to have this car done by the end of summer. Wish me luck.

[Bowtie_Z28]

thread moved for ya ;)

[Bowtie_Z28]

I merged your two threads into one for ya :)

[Blue89RS]

Thanks, coming from you that means alot, You have one nice z28 and I have always enjoyed watching your car progress. And thanks for putting the threads together for me.

[Bowtie_Z28]

Thanks I appreciate it! I haven't had any sort of desire to mess with the car lately, though this comment could be enough for me to get out and hook my nitrous back up again, maybe get the car back out on the street again :)

You should get ahold of a good orbital polisher and really take a good hit at the paint, even older paint in that color is very easy to bring back to a like new luster :)

[Blue89RS]

Yea i was planning on detailing the crap out of it here shortly. Its been raining alot and hadnt really had a chance to mess with the outside. I baught this car off of my next door neighbor and he said it had sit for almost 2 years. The owner had the car at a different location than him and he never drove it. It was procharged and had alot of nice stuff on it. When my neighbor got it, he sold the procharger on ebay and pulled the engine to change the gaskets to stop the oil leaks, and tried for months to get it to run right with no success. So i baught it for a 1000 bucks hoping to get it to run better than ever. I think im on the right path, I just hope that I can get that paint to look better.

[Bowtie_Z28]

For $1000 you can't argue too much, the paint should come back just need to get yourself some good paint polishing products and a good orbital polisher, should bring back a good amount of the shine for ya.

[Blue89RS]

Thanks for the info. Could you recommend a good product that I could pick up in stores. Thanks for your help and seein you get ur car back out would be awsome. I would deff like to see some more pictures of it and what alls been done to it. Thanks again.

[Bowtie_Z28]

You can pick up some 3M product which is what I use for my obital polishing needs :) If I remember right you can pick it up at NAPA, if you need the P/N for the goods let me know and I will get it for ya :)

[Blue89RS]

My ceramic coated Hooker super comp headers

[Blue89RS]

Well, should be able to pick up my motor thurday and begin to put it back together. I will post pictures as I get it back together.

[Blue89RS]

Finally a update:

I now have the engine down in the car. The stall is in and the transmission is now hooked up and so is the driveshaft. I have most of the wiring harness plugged in. I still need to add oil the motor and get some transmission fluid in. I have to get the headers on and prime the motor. Soon ill be able to get the radiator in and fill it up with coolant.

Just a recap, the motor is a stock Lt1 with all new bearings and new moly rings, a cc 306 cam, the heads have been ported and polished and milled down with comp cams hardened push rods, Bee hive valve springs for up to a 600 lift, i have msd ignition, the transmission has been rebuilt with a shift kit and a TCI 3000 stall,. Once the motor is running and tuned I have a 250 shot of nitrous going on it and installing 4:10 rearend gears. Let me know what you think.
