FC3S Murray's never ending build. - Page 46

Thats how much my vert weighs... almost exactly.

Not bad considering!

FC3S Murray · 04-20-2011, 05:09 PM

Yeah not bad at all. A curb weight of 2728 dry tank, 2,827 with a FULL tank(100lbs) with a V8 is awesome. The OEM TurboII was 2845 with full tank of gas.

Hehehehehee....makes me giggle about some of the people on the other club that said that this swap made the car WAAYYYYY heavier.

FC3S Murray · 04-30-2011, 05:15 PM

Well we made it home yesterday..........it was a nightmare getting back. Old man winter HAD to have his last storm the day I come back from my tune!! Talk about a major pucker factor going over two of the passes at 5950FT with no chains(they were making everybody put on chains...we had none.

Rain and snow the whole way back....my car got some minor road rash

Lets sum it up for you with pictures:

Car loaded on Uhaul after cursing and having to remove some shit on the trailer to clear the front lip. *Cant open driver door once loaded since car is so low. You have to climb out the window....fun :'(

Then the car cover. NOW the only reason I ran a car cover was last month when I went to Spokane for a family death there was a TON of gravel everywhere. I figured I would take some paint chaffing over rock chips anyday. Soo I put masking tape on all the "high" areas of the body. It worked too, the only parts that got chaffed were the sides of the A and C pillars, and the rear fender.

On the dyno

Dyno vids
LS1 FC3S Dyno pull
...LOL I trip on a metal pipe in this vid
LS1 FC3S Dyno pull #2

Dyno sheet (yellow lines are best pull, the green was the first pull of the day in 3rd gear for tune testing)

Same pull but power levels if at sea level

.....engine bay soooo dirty :'( :'( ...took me 2 hours last night to detail again

The bad weather coming back...after seeing no gravel there we decided to ditch the cover since the weather was supposed to be decent...... lol

The worse weather at the passes....

Now I have to do some major polishing and overall car clean up. Car show next weekend....got to get to work.

So nice to be finished.......kinda

FC3S Murray · 05-03-2011, 08:42 AM

WTF.....I get done after 3 years of sweat and blood and dont even get a "good job"?

.......V8 haters lol

project86 · 05-03-2011, 11:19 AM

josh18_2k · 05-03-2011, 01:35 PM

fail. faggy pushrodds

AzureDrake · 05-03-2011, 03:33 PM

Looks good sounds great

WE3RX7 · 05-03-2011, 06:47 PM

Ha... you're looking for kudos on a v8 swapped FC on ROTARYcarclub.com?

Without trying to sound like an ass... nah, screw it... I'll be an ass, lol.. I don't think there is much to say. LS V8 with 400hp and 350+ tq, its not really THAT surprising. I think you're car looks great and I hope you enjoy all the power and just drive the piss out of it, but I wouldn't expect people to be jumping up and down with excitement, lol..

There, assholish comment quota met for today!

Good job Sean!

lol i know i know, wrong place to post for congrats. I am just gitty I am done. Wish I could take you all for a ride in it, almost 500ft/lbs of torque & HP on the nose of the motor is VERY impressive in this chassis, just scary fast.

NOW you need to stop replying to people like me and get your FC finished man!! Send the wife out with her friends, feed the kids a ton of Robitussen and get in that garage and wrench all night.

So when do you get the cut off denim shirt, jeans, mullet, jailhouse tattoos, missing teeth, and handle bar?

But really it looks, and sounds amazing, Congrats!

Thanks buddy. I have already started to grow my mullet: soon I will be all business in the front and a party in the back.
