*currently apart due to a spun bearing and in the teardown, clean and rebuild stage*
i bought this 91 spirit r/t out of knoxville, tn. in feb 07'. its been a tn car all its life, i took it up to michigan and now i live in nashville, tn. so it will stay rust free.
i bought it with 131k miles, a warped head and a cracked radiator end tank. i had the head cleaned, pressure, checked, coolant passage welded and then milled. i added a cometic mls head gasket along with arp head studs and all ne upper end gaskets. i then made some other changes including tire upgrade to bf goodrich 225/65/15 g force sport, a rfl blow off valve, cold air intake, electronic boost gauge, t1 rad converted, abs, ac and emmisions delete, turbo xs boost controller and some other odds and ends.
i had it at sdac 19 all week, drag raced it, street raced it and ran a best of 13.9 @107mph on the street tires.
in the fall of 07' it spun a rod bearing and i parked it, i just now started tearing into it and have the head off along with alot of accessories. everything i have taken off has been cleaned 100% and everything will be repainted by the time i have the engine rebuilt and ready to reassemble.
my main goal is too rebuild the engine without cutting corners by fall, build it to last a long time, have it cleaner than ever before and make some upgrades along the way.
alot of you probably remember how it looked and my setup before, but for those who dont here is what it had and how it looked then.
