    1987 Olds 5.3L LS turbo swap

    Alright guys made it to the track again last night. Getting faster still but transmission isnt liking me turning up the boost/timing so it slowed down some. Cracked off a 7.09 last night with my best 60ft of 1.57. But anyway making moves as we speak to get the transmission where it needs to be...

    1987 Olds 5.3L LS turbo swap

    Alright guys, I've been busy doing a bunch of stuff lately. Finally been making some passes at the track on it. 1/8th mile it's at a 7.20 right now. Trans started slipping on the next pass and that would have been in the 6s judging the 60ft and boost being turned up. I'm going to leave a link at...

    Well I finally managed to get the interior just about wrapped up. Just gotta bolt in harness and that part will be good to go. Then I need 2 plugs for my fans. Gonna weld in the arb this weekend and maybe get a little street tuning in as well.

    1987 Olds 5.3L LS turbo swap

    Alright I've been busy the last few weeks. Got the rollcage finished up and painted, new cam/springs installed and running again, new radiator, new custom length plug wires. Got brakes again, going to rebleed them one more time to ease my mind. Lots of other in between small stuff. I'm going to...

    1987 Olds 5.3L LS turbo swap

    Hey guys been makin some moves. Got new brake lines in, manual master, etc. Bleeding them Friday. Starting to direct my attention to a dash. Was looking into a universal aluminum kit or a fiberglass dash from vfn. Kind looking more towards the aluminum since it's cheaper and probably easier to...

    1987 Olds 5.3L LS turbo swap

    Okay guys, got the cage in over the past weekend. Got to finish up final welding and probably have to add a few gussets in some places but all in all it turned out good I think. By no means is this cage perfect, I lacked the equipment and skill to make it perfect but it should serve its purpose...

    Main hoop positioning?

    It seems to me that they bent the hoop in a little bit so your harness bar will adjust the width of the hoop if its higher or lower. The lower on the hoop it is. The wider the hoop will be where it mounts to the frame. Vise versa for higher and its narrower. But you just trim the harness bar to...

    Main hoop positioning?

    Sorry to not reply sooner. Been working 6 days a week last few weeks ain't done much. I have been trying to figure out why the s&w cage kit came with 2 6x6in 1/8th inch thick plates. Any ideas?

    1987 Olds 5.3L LS turbo swap

    Yep pre bent 10pt from S&W racecars. I've been thinking about that seat bar situation. I think I'm going to cut the tacks and put plates in. I had seen a few posts where they plated the floor. But yes your logic about the seat being s pinball would be a possibility under the right...

    Main hoop positioning?

    Thanks for the responses guys. I'm just now getting to reading them. Working like crazy this week haven't had much time to focus on it. The cave is from s&w race cars. As long as its installed properly it meets NHRA requirements. So from what I'm reading, I need to get my seat placed and build...

    Main hoop positioning?

    Hey guys, working on my cutlass installing a 10pt cage from s&w. Wanted to get some feedback and pics of where exactly to mount the main hoop. Not sure of its exact place ment on the frame. I have it tacked in right now but I can move it if need be.

    I ended up working yesterday trying to make up some extra money. I did manage to get some stuff done today though. I got my bars mounted for the seat and got the main hoop and harness bar tacked in. Going to try and hit it hard this week.
