Going Turbo LSx '69 GTO Judge Clone

[2165 Turbo Rail]

we started this a couple weeks ago so I guess its time to start posting some pics and info about it.

its a Judge clone that someone built 10-12 years ago. It had a 400 with a turbo 350 and a 7.5 rear end with 2.73 gears

we are putting a LQ4 6.0 liter motor with a T76 turbo (coping JOHN's wagon, the green 1960 Parkwood wagon)

I'm using the COMP CAMS PART NUMBER #54-480-11

Patriot Gold springs
Yank SS3200 converter
custom built 3" log manifold on the pass side and a stock f-body manifold on the drivers side with a 2.5" pipe connecting the two
for now I'm going to put in a 10 bolt with 3.32 Posi
***EDIT*** got the car running on 1.26.11, rear end broke on 1.29.11, ordered a built 9" on 2.1.11
F-body Oil pan
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Aeromotive 100 micron prefilter
stock filter/regulator from an 02 vette
solid motor mounts

Very cool! John is turning into quite the artist! Can't wait to see the finished product guys.




Edit : Congrats on the new baby too!

Thanks, we like her (the baby )

we figured since the set up we did on his car worked so well, we might as well copy it for the Judge clone

Don't blame ya abit on both counts.



What kinda power is the wagon making that you'll be able to expect from the Judge?
