We got a little sidetracked when Ben's 2001 Trans Am decided to hydro lock after a freak set of circumstances (car only has 65k miles and it occurred on startup, not over revving...), and sent rod #6 right through the side of the block. We just brought that home 2 nights ago, he learned a lot on that project too!!!

Might as well install a shift kit (muuuuch more involved versus the ole TH350's!!!), a trans cooler, new flywheel and a new torque converter (3600 RPM stall...

but, he's learning what it's like to drive that on the street!

) Upgraded to a hi perf fuel pump, 42# injectors, new pump wiring, etc.... my bank account feels like it went on forever... But, that smile after it was tuned and hit 'the number' on the dyno pull.... priceless!

The memories are indeed awesome, but if they could be a little less expensive that would be nice....

I don't log on much, quite busy with the kids and cars!

We hit the completion date of April 1st, by 1 day.... and he took it to his Prom and a few car shows, and to High School one day....

The Trans Am is the gift that keeps giving....to him!! I decided to just install a fully built transmission back in March, this thing put 420HP to the rear tire and there was no way the original trans w/ a shift kit was going to handle that. The fab 9" rear with 4.10's and new wheels / stickies are next. He ran a 12.20 ET last Friday night, in good air that'll be in the high 11's and def in the 11's with the 4.10 gear over the stock 3.23's.

What kid drives an 11 second street car to High School every day.....

What a car! Nice job Dad. Building that with him also built memories that can't be bought. Congratulations.
