Hey guys,
Name's Paul. I've been lurking for awhile on numerous miata forums, but I figure I would finally introduce myself with my ls1 buildup starting up. Its gonna be a slow buildup, but I'll try to keep up with posts as much as I can.
I picked up my red 1990 miata a few years back and its a rust free California car. For Wisconsin, that's pretty rare. I only drove it when the roads around here were salt free. At the end of last summer, the clutch finally went out in it. I pulled it around back, threw a car cover over it, and its been sitting there ever since.
Last week I finally pulled the trigger and picked up a 1999 camaro z28 ls1 engine, completely rebuilt F-body T56 trans, and an iron 8.8 diff with a 3.27 posi from a Thunderbird supercoupe. I'm planning on picking up the V8Roadsters kit in the near future.
I don't have certain build date I'm trying to hit, but I plan on doing it the best way I can and I'm gonna take my time. I attached a few pics of everything so far.
So until next time, take it easy.
