    Getting this block hot tanked and cryo treated, getting the crank redone to fit some Manley rods, and saving money for Stage III heads.

      Well, I'm planning on a High Flow CAT, 3.42 rears (+ LSD), still undecided on lowering the car - purely because the authorities over here have a love affair with speed bumps - the air dam already scrapes the floor!

      Keeping an eye out for either a complete set of leather seats - or a re-trimming package.

      Still toying with the idea of a post-98 body panel swap.

      Bear in mind though, that f-body parts are rather rare here in good ole blighty ;)

        I bought another 3rd gen. I have completely stripped it:
        Third Bird
        I will be installing a roll cage and make a subframe for it while cutting a lot of metal out for weight reduction.

        I have two choices for engines. I was planning on finishing the 3.4L. It would get a larger roller cam, bored .030 over, forged rods, and a different intake. Or my brother has a built 3800 lying around that he wants to put in the car. It was built to handle 15 psi plus a 150 shot. He has a turbo kit for it but it was meant for a FWD application (GTP) so some modifying would be needed. The block was originally out of a 2001 Firebird. The 3800 would bolt up to the T5 I already have so it would be fun. I'm just not sure what I want to do yet.

          !turbo. Back to NA, or a cut cowl roots blower.

            Parts im in the process of finding- Factory 98+ body kit

            I work alot so stuff i get usually sits in the garage for weeks until i spend one day putting everything on. Im gonna paint the calipers red when i do this too. I wanna drop it but i already scratched the **** out of the underside and its at stock height. I dont wanna think what 2' drop would do

              well I installed a transgo kit a few days ago along with the raptor servo but I am now having problems with the transmission. pulled the transmission today and my cousin took it home to tear it apart tomorrow to see whats wrong. When this problem is fixed I also have a **** load of stuff sitting in my roon.

              Spohn Panhard Bar
              Spohn LCA Relocation Brackets
              Spohn Sway Bar Set 32/22 mm
              Edelbrock Subframe Connectors
              Energy Suspension LCA Bushings
              H&R Springs
              KYB AGX Shocks - Front/Rear
              Carsound Catalytic Converter 3"
              TSP Rumbler Exaust
              Pacesetter Headers
              Clear corner turn signals
              Silver stripes

              After some of that is paied off I need to get a aluminum DS, upgrade to the V8 rear with 3.42's and LSD, need to to the drum to disk conversion when the rear goes in. Also will be putting in a full MSD setup. after that i'll be saving up for the FFF kit.

                        Random Technology 3" Downpipe with Hi-Flow CAT, 3.4" pulley for my supercharger.

                        I have a '02 airbox and F-Duct sitting here waiting to be gutted and wrapped with reflectix and a 99-03 K&N Panel Filter en-route. Gotta get a coolant overflow bottle to relocate the current one.

                        Ahh, can't wait!

                            I'm hoping to get a full tank of gas.

                            Ok that's pathetic, but that's all I can afford.
                            I solemnly swear I am up to no good.
