HS LEGEND
ok so here goes my build thread for my car..
its an 86 originally an LS..car has an entire SS front end swap.has the sway bars and everything..basically the only thing thats not SS is the trunk(doesnt have the spoiler) and possibly rearend(ill find out when the weather gets better,burnouts FTW)
but anyway supposedly has a rebuilt 350 in it with a th350 trans..
car has hooker headers,mr gasket electric fuel pump,mr gasket adjustable FPR,pro flow intake manifold,15" american racing wheels,and a functional 4" cowl induction hood,
Plans are,im fixing the very little bodywork it needs and then after xmas ill be painting it metallic black(the kit i had for my rex) i probably should put some new tires on it so im going to check out what size my racecar rims were and maybe use the hankook street tires from those on the AR rims..then mount the set of hoosier slick on the racecar wheels for the track,
overall the car is in pretty damn good condition..

Get some 1/8" strap about 1 1/2" wide and box in your control arms in the rear. That with some poly bushings will make a BIG difference for cheap!
Talk to the original owner to see if they still have the 200r4, and see if you can get it, have it rebuilt, you'll love it.
I have an extra set of vortech heads too.?? I don't have the casting # right now though.

The aftermarket has tons of stuff for the G-body!

Good luck, PM me if you need parts. I just may have it/them

i dont know the original owner..right now im trying to figure out what year 350 it is..and its def. a 350..right on the casting in the back it says 5.7L
it also has center bolt valve covers
 
Chevrolet didnt go to center bolt heads until 1987.
 
true, I didn't even think about that chances are it's fuel injected. whenever anyone I knew did a 350 swap, even if it was injected they ripped everything out and just ran it carbed
 
I thought about going carbed, but then this changed my mind...

well the cast for the mechanical fule pump is there..but its solid...so it was fuel injected,its running on an electric pump now..but im running a quadrajet carb..theres alot of plugs that arent hooked up to anything either..so i rlly dont know..
 
The guy you bought it from probably did what I said, he probably took the FI manifold and all that off and threw on the pro flo intake and a carb and called it a day.
 
Looks good.

You should throw a tuned port top end on it. They get dogged a lot, but if you setup em up right they perform.
 
looks good troy :)
thank you sir

no TPI for this..probably going all motor and its staying carbed
That still has the LS rear end on it. How did you aquire this vehicle? and do you still have the CRX?
how can you tell if its still got the ls rear???
i traded the rex for it..and now im going to post pix of the rex..

it needs a LSX swap and it would be cool then
LSX being what??
 
the only thing on the rear section that isnt SS is that there isnt a spoiler..
at first i thought you meant the actual rear end..like the pumpkin and axles lol
