My new 98 Z28 (Under the knife)! by LT1Formula007

5 minute(s) of a 93 minute read

I had to replace the engine b/c the guy who sold it to me Blew the other engine up by spraying Nitrous through it.... &
To be completely honest with ya, I just wanted the car back on the road. Since it's gonna be a while before I can buy the rest of the things, I'm just gonna get it running for now and worry about the other things later.

I'm probably going to just build a 6.2 L Stroker and put a H/C/I kit on that engine.
Kinda playing with ideas at this time. I know a guy who builds engines and he was talking about building me a 400+ CID Stroker 6.2L for around $3900.00 for the Short-Block!
Thats whatI'm thinking of doing!!! I dunno yet!

Thanks for all of the compliments....

I've put ALOT of work into this car. And not to mention, The fact that the other owner didn't give 2 ***** about it made it harder for me! I know there is a few things I need to fix, but nothing that I can't handle!

As far as the cam, I'm not gonna worry about it at this time. I don't wanna waste the money on a cam and a set of springs, just to turn around and pull it back out in 3 or 4 months to put a H/C package on it! Thats the route I'm gonna go with it so might as well do other things before I go adding power. Like suspension and a cage/Rollbar!

BTW I got the headers in Yesterday, Bolted them up, and got the motor back in the car. I will post some more pics of how the car looks right now in a minute! Will post some more tomorrow night. Gonna be busy tomorrow!
Hope it's running by this weekend but who knows!

Here are a few pics of the interior going back in...

And My headers finally arrived...

Put the new headers on the motor!

 
Now it's time to put in the motor...

Now the motor is in place and ready for everything to be hooked up...

Ran the wires for the computer and took a quick picture to show how much room there is now on the Passengers side of the motor...

Here is the drivers side... I Have to touch up a few spots due to scratching a few things during the install...

Here is a pic of the underneath... Look at them headers...

And here is where I stopped at...

Check out the space I have for Spark Plug Changes...

Also went ahead and did the "Wire Mod" since I was right there.
I also did the hood cable mod as well on the other side...

Here is a pic of the AIR deleted and the Hood Cable Mod...

So thats it for now, I'll keep everyone updated on the progress. Hope you guys like what I have done to it so far!
