Title: Proud new parents!
Post by: TSM Girl on July 05 2006, 09:37:31 PM: Bryan and I, well Bryan has a new baby. :rolleyes; This is where Bryan will be installing the 462 Buick he has in the garage. I will get him to post his project plans. Now I get the next car, I will have to start looking. I sure hope he gets his garage done soon.

Post by: Recklessrob on July 05 2006, 09:54:17 PM: I'm not sure. Is that an Opel GT ?
Title: Re: Proud new parents!
Post by: TSM Girl on July 05 2006, 09:56:23 PM: Yes it is, but may want to wait for someone to confirm it!.........lol.. ...... b.t.w it is a 70 Opel GT.......his dad bought him one when he was 8 and then when he was 12 his dad sold because he needed the $$$ more than Bryan needed a car. So Bryan always said he wanted to get another one and now this will be another race car. See what happens when I let him stop working on the garage for one night? lol

Post by: Recklessrob on July 05 2006, 10:02:33 PM: Yeah, but now he has more incentive to finish the garage.

Post by: TSM Girl on July 05 2006, 10:04:27 PM: True, but we have to get MY car put back together so I can run TSM. Plus I have a lot of nice new parts to put on..... :evil;
Title: Re: Proud new parents!
Post by: Wrecked Em on July 05 2006, 11:22:08 PM: Here is the engine going in. It is not ready yet. When it goes back together it should have the following:
Fuel Injection (Currently a Holley 850 double pumper)
Aluminum heads (Currently ported stock heads)
6 speed manual trans (Currently a TH400)
Eaton diff and 3.90 gears (I sold the stock carrier and 3.23 gears, they are in a TSM car now)

Post by: Racer X on July 06 2006, 11:36:24 AM: What brand of 6 speed? I am NOT a fan of Tremec.
Title: Re: Proud new parents!
Post by: TSM Girl on July 06 2006, 03:02:05 PM: The type of 6 speed is a Richmond Gear.

Post by: 87natty on July 06 2006, 03:37:42 PM: Richmonds are nice. Nice ride, I still want an Opel GT with a high winding NA V6.

Post by: TSM Girl on July 06 2006, 04:01:19 PM: Thanks, I am sure this one will take Bryan a while to finish. Hope this keeps him busy...lol

Title: Re: Proud new parents!
Post by: TSM Girl on July 06 2006, 05:34:56 PM: This big block was taken out of his 77 Buick Century/Regal (it had both of both worlds on it) that puppy was fast as hell. Can't wait to see how quick the Opel will be with it.

Add about 100hp and take away about 1500 pounds. It will be fun! :supz:

Post by: Dragonational on July 13 2006, 12:32:53 PM: i can only think of two things right now. Opels just look cool and Brian has got to be crazy for sticking a big block in there... well three things i guess because damn that thing is going to be fun to drive when its done.

Post by: sun dog on July 16 2006, 01:50:00 AM: A guy at a track I went to has a 280Z with a intercooled 231 stuffed in there. I think he was running mid 11's and he was only a year or so out of high school.

I wanted to do a conversion with a 81 RX-7 I've had since high school but I never got around to it.

That car by the way was one quick little bastard. I was the fastest kid in high school until the one kids dad got a new 86 T-Type and the thrill was gone.
