LT5 dirty and clean. Replacing most or all sensors and switches, water pump, alternator, coils, wires, plugs, injectors, hoses, removing secondaries. Next, port/polish plenum and IH's, Powder Coat all upper end pieces, Carter LT5 coolant pipes.

NOTE: All of the breather box bolts were loose. Tightened them up and used blue loctite on each bolt.

Before

After
Shadows make it look dirty in places but it's clean, believe me. Arghh....

Hey Pete...I got the car running, and I am ready to send the chip to you...I had a question though:

Would you have another chip you could make for me(And once I got it I would send over mine)?...I would paypal you a deposit if ness,..this way I can get the chip done and still fine tune this car a bit(high Idle,exhaust ect)

Picked up the 91 from Rick Mueller, Austin, TX. Monday morning. Just got back to IN this evening.
Rick believes the car was bought new by Paul Denhert.
The car had a complete top end done by Vette Doctors $9k, Watsons, 4:10's, Coil Overs, short throw, exhaust, Aluminum radiator, battery relocation behind passenger seat, roll bar and harness bar, belts, etc, etc. What a car! Not my favorite color (Turquoise) but geezzzzz!!!!!! This thing will be awesome to play with!!!!!!!

NOW..............what to do with Thumper? Keep it or sell it???? I have everything to put it back together except that I have to use my motor temprarily until the 91's motor is repaired. I have a ton of parts and a no hit car to ponder over.

Considering it. I still have the body tub from 1990 #444 to use as a platform for a convertible conversion and the AeroBody panel widening project.
