Glad to hear you are getting back to it! I am about 25 minutes south of you in Roseville, so it is nice to see a local who can modify Cavaliers. I might have to hit you up if I ever want to throw a 3400 in my Cavalier :lol:
i dont really think its the matter of if you decide to put a 3400 in your car as much as it is when you put one in your car. but yeah pm me sometime i always like meeting people that have the same intrest in the z24s as i do.
well i have been really to busy to work on my car and with money being so tight right now i have had to put it off again but now with most of our projects out of the shop and our 68 c10 pickup almost done i was able to take my car back into the shop and get to work on it. so i have now modified my rear manifold and figured out what i need to do to modify my oil filter adapter. i now have the engine dropped out of the car and i will be getting my flywheel balanced shortly. i am going to be using the stock clutch so that when it is running i am able to move it under its own power and if i decide to keep the car that is if no one buys it, then i will drop out the motor again for smoothing out under the hood and installing a lsd and a stage 3+ clutch into it, possibly cam the motor to. so i hope to have it moving under its own power in january unless i get shipped out.
so after i get the the flywheel balanced i just need to splice wires for my gauges and power for the cabin and get my computer flashed and she should be running.
i am new to the z site but not new to these cars or mechanics in general and all i can say is wow. thats a hell of alot of work. cant wait to see some vids when its all said and done. nice mount BTW
well i brought my flywheel in yesterday to get the face finished and to get the imbalance corect for the motor and my flywheel was only 5 grams off so i am very happy with that. i also ordered my flywheel bolts for a camaro and they will be in on friday so i get to put the trans back on the motor and put it back in the car and after that i need to hook up my wirring harness splice in for gauges and send my computer to get flashed.
motor is back in the car now and all my wirring is done. so now i need do my exaust mount dog bones and reflash the computer but i will be leaving for six months with the millitary so i dont think it will be on the road till i get back.
thanks. but have to thank my dad he is the one that has taught me evrything i know and he has given me a hand anytime i get stumped on what i should do.
i hope to have this car moving under its own power by the time the salt is off the roads. and im not shipping out for the army till fall so i have time to work on it.
i hope one of you guys will want to buy this car from me when its running and able to be moved under its own power...
nice to see a more unique set up. wow! talk about a bare bone beginning to a nice restoration. props to ya man! i'm envious of the make it work tool you have to use. awww i have to fab a unique mount, damn, so much for that. ha not you! very nice work. doesn't have that cobbled look to it, but more of a professional design and production. looking forward to seeing the finished product.
hope to have the car running by the end of march. i am planning on finnishing up any loose ends under the hood by the middle of mark and thats when i will send out my computer and i hope to have it back by the end of march and hope there is no snow for atleast a couple days.
