Background:
My
build started on an '87 T-top GT. Initial intentions were to do suspension
upgrades for that car, since it already contained performance HCI. Not satisfied
with my thirst for more power I looked towards including a power adder. At
first I was interested in supercharging, but that grew old real quick when
I started researching turbo's for SBF's and how rare they were at the time.
There I decided I would be going with a turbo kit. After this sudden change
in direction, I had to look towards beefing up the shortblock to safely maintain
the extra power I would be producing. This led to the further desire of more
power. I then started getting my heads worked and purchasing even more upgrades
for my engine which ultimately lead to an entire shortblock assembly I put
together and had worked by AAM. Of course all of this power has to have the
fuel system and rear end assembly
to go along, which lead me to that dent in the wallet. Now, considering the
T-top GT wouldn't be a wise choice for a car with the power output I was planning
on building, I looked towards my brothers stock '93. The cage had already
been installed as there were previous plans for it that were never started.
Everything was now set. This car has taken me two and a half years to build
and everything aside from major machining was done by myself with the help
from my dad, insight from my brother, and company from my dog Shorty. The
build is in its last days of completion and I hope to have some numbers and
times as soon as possible. Comments are welcome.
