'87 GLHS 362 Project

[csxtra]

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. Wanted to have easy pull points...just in case I need to be "helped" off a track.

No trailer for Sick Week? How can you run balls-out without a hitch?

In case you're stuck in a snow bank??????????

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

In case you're stuck in a snow bank??????????

These days, that's just as likely!

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 things got worse. After getting home and pulling it apart, I found two rod bearings that weren't looking too happy. This motor was a used motor that I chucked in and really didn't know any history on, so I'm not too surprised.

It's now fully disassembled, parts are at the machine shop and it will be back together with some upgrades in a few months.

Sounds like it's running great Pat! Reviewing the dragstrip results and the pics of the stock appearing turbo, I'd say it either has a T3-60 trim or S-60 compressor wheel installed. IMO, the bevel in the inlet is too small for a 50 trim. That and too much MPH vs. boost for a stock 50 trim in my book.
Regardless, looks like a fun and successful project. Those 23x7.5" M&H's hooking up well!

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.
