Agreed Al...I know from first hand experience with this car that without a proper burnout I may as well just idle down the track.

Calipers swapped/bled...line lock works great now and all of the brakes can hold the car in place while on the two-step (3000rpm) even on the slippery concrete apron out front.

Did not tackle the transmission today, but the swap is coming soon.

Transmission went in the car today. Did a four wheel scale before we quit for the day and it ended up being just about legal minimum @ 2848 pounds. No fuel in the cell and no preload on the Caltracs.

LF - 778#
RF - 830#
LR - 627#
RR - 613#

Rich , what oil pan do you have on the car?

HandOverFist · 02-24-2014, 05:34 AM

Ed - It's a stage 3 shift light. The oil pan appears to be stock...we have yet to open the motor.

2800 pounds? My drivetrain weighs that much! hehe... Curious to what mods , if any, you had to do to put trans in? Looking forward to hearing how it runs!
