project 197

[86seeS]

hey guys i just picked up 87 glhs 197 out of the indiana country side. car is all compleat and all shelby pieces are there. the goal is to get the car done by the time mopar nat. come around in aug. questions and tips are all welcome

[cordes]

Looks good. That will be a lot of work to finish by August for sure though. I would try to keep it original if I were to restore it.

[rare_ram]

Too scarce to mod imho. Is that a Rampage beside it?

[WickedShelby88]

Wow. It looks to still have the Koni's and be plenty solid to restore. Good safe for sure and its nice to see some pics.

[Murphy]

I would mod it, but nothing too far from original or that stands out. K&N in the stock box, replace the cat with a cutout(if you don't have to get it emmissions tested), 3bar map, +40's, custom cal set to about 20psi, maybe a BOV on the lower IC pipe. Might swap to a 555 with a bearing plate just so you know your trans is strong enough to hold together.

the would make for HUGE power gains, but the only thing there that would really stand out from not being original would be the BOV, but you hsould be able to tuck that away down there. Of course it would sound a bit mean with the cutout open.

[bradp]

Wow that car never made it very far. It was sold new at Southside Dodge in INDY

[86seeS]

i got the car in moorsville 88,500 miles worked on the floor boards a bit and pulled the motor out

[Aries_Turbo]

if the chassis was in better shape (floor pans etc) id do all original. since you are going to have some non original sheet metal here and there, i vote some small key improvements. basically what murph said. 3 bar cal, +40's, 3 bar map, 555 trans adapted to the rod shifter, maybe heim joint linkages, cutout or 3" exhaust but keep the original exhaust around. :) get another lower intercooler hose and cut it to add the DSM bov and pipe.

could do a upgraded intercooler too like alan did with his rampage.

Brian

[86seeS]

i was going to use a 1st g dsm bov i like the way they sound lol and there easy to hide

[BadAssPerformance]

Nice project :thumb:

[Marcus86GLHS]

since 100% original is not possible at this stage i'd go w/ some easy performance upgrades as mentioned above and try to keep the car as stock looking as possible. with the parts from TU and knowledge you can get at this website you can build a very stock appearing 87S that runs into the 12's. good luck on your project.

[86seeS]

87 s in the 12s..... i like the way that sounds haha

[banshee X]

SRT-4 swap Ftw!!!! thats what #582 is recieving as we speak...:hail:

[86seeS]

that would be awesome! have any pics of it?

[86seeS]

i took the motor apart and guess what i found..... metal.....lots of metal :(

[Aries_Turbo]

well thats no good. thats ok though, it needed big rods and the forged crank anyway. :)

Brian

[86seeS]

new crank is on the way already

[Rod Enis]

Im parting out my 87 GLHS, let me know what you need. Check out my post for pics of the car.

NO! not a cali car! :( Link?

[banshee X]

that would be awesome! have any pics of it?

this is what it looked like before, right now i am building the srt motor. goal is 600hp which with these motors is pretty simple to make, just pricey:p. hopefully it will be ready next spring fingers crossed!!

GL with your build glad to see another saved:hail:

[Aries_Turbo]

so you are parting out just the motor/drivetrain?

Brian

[86seeS]

floors are done finally! engine bay should be done in a day or two. im looking for a few parts if any one has them a good shift boot, shift linkage (525), glhs shift knob

[cordes]

That is some quick progress.

[WickedShelby88]

Looking good!

[86seeS]

thanks guys im im working my a** off i cant wait to drive it

[glhs571]

Fwdperformance sells a stock looking shift knob replacement (Momo) or you can look on eBay occasionally. Looks like your wasting no time with your project, good luck!

[86seeS]

engine bay painted looks great! ill put some pics up soon

[86seeS]

finished the rad/intercooler setup today. when i got the car it didnt come with the the setup just the condenser so i had to mod the t2 setup i had all ready of of a turbo z. i had a port put in for the heater looks factory! i also cut off the bottom rad. brace off the frame and had it relocated

[spoolinhard]

Did you pop rivet those floors in?

[Turbo224]

Cool project. Keep the pictures coming!

[86seeS]

Did you pop rivet those floors in?
i put a few pop rivets in the floor but only down the middle of the frames so the rivets wouldnt show on the bottom the rest is fiberglass mat and long strand gel

[Aries_Turbo]

wait so the floor is not metal anymore?

brian

[86seeS]

no no no its all metal just has fglass covering the metal on the top and bottom the metal is sandwitched so to speak

[Aries_Turbo]

oh ok. overkill. nice. :)

Brian

[86seeS]

overkill exactly hahaha i just dont want to have any more rust one floor job a year is enough!

[Aries_Turbo]

yeah i hear ya. :)

Brian

[86seeS]

a few engine pics! then and now! i was just mocking up the top end the bottom end goes in tomarrow because the rod barrings didnt come in today (and the paint run on the valve cover has been fixed haha)

[86seeS]

picked up a 555 trans with 385 gear glhs is getting converted no more rods popping off!!!!

[Aries_Turbo]

you gonna keep the rods and convert them to heim joints or are you going cable?

Brian

[moparfwdsleeper]

nice project, and amazing progress!

[86seeS]

all cable im sick of rods 555 is going in asap

[turbokid]

Hope you meet your goal

[spoolinhard]

HOw is the clearance on the shifter when you have all the dash installed? I had this in my shelby charger and about punched the dash every time I shifted. I attempted to make a rod shifter but it woundnt fit with my setup. Looks like I will be going back to cable. WIll probably be moving the shifter back. Maybe you might get away with it with a short throw.

Angled shifter. Never thought about that. Now that I think of it, the factory shifter is angled and the cable is not. Hmmm......

[minigts]

I'm with Cordes. I can't get over the progress you've made in the time you have. That's some serious time invested. Excellent and keep up the good work.

[86seeS]

[spoolinhard]

later model shadows have angled shifters i belive

Just saw a pic of one. I made my angled shifter this past weekend. It is a bit more angled than the P-body ones, and I removed and inch and a half from its height. Had to modify the reverse lockout plactic shaft thingy, but it functions flawlessly. FWIW I angled it pretty good and I still had to move the shifter back a ways for it to feel comfortable.

[turbokid]

Wow thats awesome. Keep up the good work on the GLHS.
I wish I could find one around here. Found a couple CSX's and my dads GLHS is WAAAYYY outa my price range.
Good luck and keep the awesome progress coming

[86seeS]

Theres a few csx's here in my town also an 87 and 88 both in rough shape

[86seeS]

changed things up a bit today put in a new headliner! un like the original its black suade and looks awesome. iended up going with a super 60 turbo! so car should be pretty mean (2.2 liter 5.0 eater) hahaha

[turbokid]

Definitely forsure.
Hell an exhaust and some added boost and you have a 5.0 eater =)

[86seeS]

motor, trans, interior, wideband are in! pics soon!

[ScottD]

Good progress!

I see you ordered a shifter, but if you don't like it for some reason the 89 A555 cars got a short throw shifter from the factory. I know the Daytona Shelbys got this shifter, you can find them around, it makes for a very nice improvement.

Keep the pics coming.

[86seeS]

i didnt end up buying a short throw i modded the one i had saved me $100 haha works perfect

[86seeS]

started the car today for the first time sounds great but does have a few bugs to work out should have it driving by wendsday!

[86seeS]

car has 500 miles on it now and is in paint!!!!! should be out by the end of the week tons of pics to come had to get a camera

[86seeS]

progress hasnt stopped taking the cylinder head off to have it ported along with the 2pc intake and thinking about buying a TU header what do you guys think? ported stock or TU header?

[bradp]

Tu header FTW!!!

[moparman76_69]

If you have the $$ get the header.

[badandy]

I know you said you were going to remove the head and get it ported. If you are going with a very well flowing piece than go for the TU header. If for some reason you choose to keep the head mostly stock than go for the ported stocker.

My TU header increased lag with a stock cylinder head and big turbo. The internal volume of the TU header is huge. It really does require a higher flowing head for it's advantages to shine.

[86seeS]

should be sending the head off soon just waiting on my tax check to buy the TU header and ported intake already have the 52mm tbody and brand new sensors.... car still needs an exhaust system running open 2.5 downpipe hahaha sounds good

[86seeS]

a heavily ported +1mm head from TVANLANT (tyler)

a heavily ported +1mm head from TVANLANT (tyler)
I'll be running the same setup :thumb:

[86seeS]

sooooo header then?

[WickedShelby88]

I say go header plus doesn't the header make changing the turbo out easier? You have the S as cable shift right? So then you won't have the clearance issues you might have with a rod linkage setup.

[badandy]

sooooo header then?
Yup, and a minimum of a .63 housing...preferably with stage 2 wheel.

[86seeS]

yes it has the 555 swap done to it and is currently running a turbonetics s60 2.5 swing ceramic coated polished housing looks as good as good as it runs

disassembly has begun turbo shaft feels very loose so i bought a rebuild kit top end should be off today

Yep, a 3" donut fits on a 2.5sv just fine.

You could get the JRB exhaust to save some cash. Just weld your first portion of the 2.5 down pipe to the new exhaust.

*turbo update* earlier on i bought a rebuilt kit from g-pop shop i installed it but it still didnt feel right so i sent it off to have it checked out a g pop i got a call today from them and i was told the shaft needed reground and over sized barrings put in because one time or another something abrasive had worn them out (metal shavings he said) to get it back to new is 387.00 cheeper then buying a new one so thats what i went with... they said i should have it with in 3 weeks:confused:
also bought new outer window scrapes highly needed pieces the originals were shot!
build is very close to the 8000.00 mark:o

[omni_840]

Sucks to hear about your turbo.......

Good luck on the rest of your build, w/ a 8K tally this one should be first class:nod:

[86seeS]

good looking and fast as hell.... thats the goal!!!!!!

[Mopar318]

So its this thing gonna be done for me tomorrow? I think every time you move a step foward mine goes one step back so stop working on it!!

[86seeS]

nope wont be done for at least another month waiting on the turbo from g-pop

[86seeS]

door pannels are done! ed came down today and dropped them off they look awesome! just need a a few small touches and the the interior is done

[blk86trbo]

Hi Wes, it's coming together nicely...I bet the interior looks awesome (and smells great) in person :thumb: Good job!

[rich tideswell]

see if you can nab the seat belts out of a daytona/ lebaron, i know they came with charcoal interior... or heck, neon too, probably lots more of those in the yards...

[Mopar318]

Sweet. I just stole your picture too.

Suede doesnt smell that great, and there are some glue fumes as well that will have to flash off. Still smells better than musky interior and after a while the fumes will go away.

[GLHSKEN]

LOL as I will find out...

[Mopar318]

LOL as I will find out...

Leather overcomes most all smells. Plus leather doesn't get glued to foam but vinyl does. Suede still gets glued though.

[Captain Chaos]

Ed that interior looks great!

[86seeS]

got some more small pieces the correct oil cap and a new hood drip pan from omni potent

[86seeS]

http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i215/hud91686/Mobile%20Uploads/mms_picture-19.jpg

[Mopar318]

Nice numbers on the head! I like the gear cover idea for sure. Allow easy adjust ment. I would make a plate that snaps on in a few seconds to cover the gear. Im not a big fan of leaving them open after all debris kill a timing belt in no time!

[86seeS]

how about a clear lexan cover cap?

[Mopar318]

how about a clear lexan cover cap?

Why clear? You cant adjust it with it on just because it clear a socket wont go through!!!!:D:D

[86seeS]

tyler van lant did the head good guy to deal with the links above

[tommy]

Thanks.

[86seeS]

if it isnt one thing its another check out the cracked 555 trans how it happend not a clue
http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i215/hud91686/Mobile%20Uploads/mms_picture-20.jpg

[moparman76_69]

I wonder if the alignment of the motor/trans could cause that? Looks like you need a good welder and possibly a new case.

[86seeS]

im going to get it welded next week shouldnt be a problem i dont think

[JohnnyIroc]

is that common?
the one i have looks to have the same crack, that has been welded

[86seeS]

ive never seen it on anything ive had

[Mopar318]

if it isnt one thing its another check out the cracked 555 trans how it happend not a clue
http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i215/hud91686/Mobile%20Uploads/mms_picture-20.jpg

Ouch! Probally going to have to gut the trans to get it welded. Aluminum soaks up heat very quickly and things will start to melt.:(

Probally wont be cheap either. Gonna have to prep, bevel, and run nice big bead. Couple hour job.

Wasnt your trans already in the car?

[86seeS]

i put it in came out of an 88 z i looked it all over before i put it in seen no cracks worked great with no problems

[Mopar318]

i put it in came out of an 88 z i looked it all over before i put it in seen no cracks worked great with no problems

Yeah I knew you put it in its a a555 but I wasnt sure if it was in the car when I saw it couldnt remember. Now I see the pictures is taken with it in the car.:thumb:

[86seeS]

thats ok i found another 555 trans if the weld wont work

[86seeS]

[86seeS]

[Mopar318]

What did you do about the tranny? The one for the car...not personal.

[86seeS]

[86seeS]

as alot of you know that follow this thread knew that the turbo i had sent to g-pop shop had a pin hole in the bearring housing that was caused all of my coolant to run out of my exhaust. the hole was caused buy an air pocket in the casting from turbonetics. so i sent the turbo back to g-pop and the sent me a brand new compleat center section wheels and all! great guys over there for sure. i got the turbo in today and the car is back together again but this time no leaks!!!!!! car started right up first crank and idled smooth. i guess it felt sorry for after all its put me through it owed me one. didnt test drive it yet it rained all day damn mother nature

[86seeS]

blew a seal out in the super60 AGAIN! its under warranty so its getting fixxed but really thinking about running an hx35 holset on it what do you guys think?

[moparman76_69]

I'm putting that HX30W on the dakota, its smaller than the 35 but similarly sized to the S60. I'll hopefully get it going soon so I can tell you how it runs on the 8V.

[Reeves]

Are you running a braided oil feed line to the Super 60?
If so, buy one of these http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=tp&Product_Code=ATP-OIL-022&Category_Code=ATP-OIL1

That should fix it.

[86seeS]

i got the top end back together tonight should be running in the morning!

[WickedShelby88]

Great to hear it was a simple defect and not an issue with oil pressure. I wonder if an oil restrictor should be run with any T2 when you use the braided oil feed line

[86seeS]

wouldnt hurt i dont think. i got the S back on the road much stronger now! heres a sneek peek click on pic below (4th gear)
