So I've decided to start a thread on my car, mostly to help me keep track of where I am with the build. And to let you guys help with advice and stuff if I'm doing anything wrong (kind of what this thread is for, right?)
Right now, the car has 192k miles on it and the rings or lands have stopped working properly and under boost pumps oil out the PCV, cap and dipstick. BOO!
Haven't begun yet but right now I have a 2.5 turbo CB bottom to go with my 1 year old 287? head and Garrett T2 turbo. While the car has this many miles on it i found a 523 3.85 trans, shifter and cables for the car and a FWD T2/T3 clutchset to go into the car.
I also have a 3bar map, chipped LM and Innovate wideband for the car. My hopes for the car FOR NOW are to leave the stock sidemount in the car and have a stock looking car that is still quite fun to drive.
Will the 523 shifter bolt into the stock 87 location or will I need to drill new holes in the shifter body?
Will the axles for the stock 520 trans and 87 hubs silde right into the 523 or will I need hybrid axles? (I rather ask now then find out then)
