joeb Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 i see the bumper supports but no radiator core or other front sheetmetal parts. i bet there is a good bit of frame/body wiggle. does the local DMV have to sign off on this car? those chassis stiffeners look like tinker toys. hope you never run into anything.

CustomGTP Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Well if you think that lower core support does anything for structure support you are sadly mistaken. I added one 2 1/4" round stock with .120 wall drop down support in place of the lower core support and to supplement some center support. I also cut out the stock Trans Am "k-frame" and will be adequately supported by the square tubing steering rack mount/brace/frame and a strut tower brace. In addition I made subframe connectors front-rear. This well exceeds the 4 M14 bolts that held in the stock cradle. And yeah If I run into anything that thing/car/person is gonna be MESSED up!!

CustomGTP Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I obviously will be putting the top radiator support back in.... forgot to mention that pass frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeb Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 i had a 93,97,98, grand prix. gone now. kid has a 99 gt so i do like them. what are you doing for exhaust manifolds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CustomGTP Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 1 7/8" primaries to 2 1/2" pipes to Borla XS mufflers is the design as of right now... We shall see what that setup sounds like with no resinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeb Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 your fabbing the headers? have you started? any pics? was interested in the weld quality. we had a corvair with a mid-engine V8, behind driver. headers were pretty simple. but not standard since they came out from motor and straight back. on a normal front engine car, they would have gone right thru the dash.

CustomGTP Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Yeah i have to fab em up myself.. I dotn have too much clearance for the driver side to exit the rear so I may have to run em both back thru the passenger side. Im gonna try to do equal length 180* headers wish me luck!

joeb Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 maybe use some manifolds from a newer sts or srx as your starting point. not that they would be easy to find used. chfrb has some cool exhaust stuff for the northstars in sandrails and other rigs.

joeb Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 how similar is this car to say a 95 camaro now? i think the camaro subframe bolts to the unibody and also supports the motor. i suppose you could see how a camaro is built and try and make similar structural mods.
