Hey Todd...wanted to circle back. You were right. Pulled the turbo part and measured. Compressor measures out to be t3 60 trim. Exhaust side was stock, std wheel in a .48 housing.

Bit of an update almost a year later...car ran well for a few days at Sick Week, then Dave and I started to hear some bottom end noise. We bailed after day 3 and went back to the trailer before...

Ha! All balls will be in the car...no trailer this time.



These days, that's just as likely!

Since the my Shadow is not back together in time for Sick Week, a 5 day drag and drive event (like Drag Week), the GLHS is getting called up for duty. I made up tow hooks for both front and rear. ...

That's a cool idea. Post pics once you do it. Would love to see what you come up with.



Thanks. Wanted to keep the soft line runs short. This seemed to do the trick.

I'm sure a brake...

And now she has most of an interior....made a shifter stand that bolts to the stock 3 bolt rod shifter mount to position the 568 cable shifter, made mounts to mount the dash center piece, the lower...

Next I went after the spare tire well. The prior owner had very carefully drilled out the spot welds and removed the spare tire well to mount a cell. He had also rivited in a nice cover with an...

Been very busy on the car since Cecil. First went after the few fixes that I identified in the road miles pre Cecil and then while making passes....the trans/diff binding in turns, the boost creep...

Thanks, all.

Yeah, Todd, I tend to agree. The car is way faster than I expected it to be. Another sign that it may have more compressor side now that I think about it is the boost creep. I've...

And then Cecil...the track was packed, so we'd only get a few runs. Didn't want to run the big slicks I run on the Shadow...ended up borrowing 23" M&H's from my brother. I purposely left a lot of...

Shortly after the engine was in, it was all wired, plumbed, exhaust (2.5") done, IC piping and cooling system in, she was fired up and running. Other than driving it in and out of the garage a few...

Those Kirkeys are not staying in there. They went in because there were no seats in the car when I got it, I had them, and they were already set up to bolt into factory L body floor mounts. ...

For the intercooler, I went with a Spearco 1080 that I had in another project at one point. I mounted it slightly offset to the right to make room for piping and a big air filter that I wanted to...

Damn right...need to get the action on the board up more. I fell away from it for a while, but I miss hanging out here.



I'll save for later posts, but I did just pull that trans back out...

As I'm looking at some of these pictures, I'm realizing that some of the order I'm posting wasn't exactly the order that I did some of the work so if you notice some things out of sequence, bear with...

There is definitely more camber and caster capability.

Last update for today...rest of the suspension. The car had just welded rods holding it up, so I was somewhat starting from scratch. It had been set up in the rear with machined aluminum bushings,...

Then came the massive clean out...most of the interior was disassembled already anyway and scattered between my place, the prior owners house and the garage where the car was stored all of those...

Next thing I went after were brakes/brake lines. Prior owner started to run brake lines to run a front circuit and a rear circuit with an adjustable prop valve in the interior. I decided to finish...

The first thing I went after was a project I've wanted to try, narrowing a dual pivot K frame to fit it. I talked to a few people who had done this in the past to get an idea of how much I had to...

Trailer deck lowers...it's awesome. Wish it was actually mine! (I borrowed it)

Hi all. Over the last year or so I've been working on resurrecting '87 GLHS 362, a car I bought a few years ago but had largely let it sit. The story behind this car is that a friend of mine had...
