    Day 1 of cams new 5.0

    lets see today was the first day i had a chance to "get to know the car" what i learned

    #1 engine, is bogging.....not due to fuel pressure but likly cap/rotor and wires.

    #2 the click noise from under the car, turned out to be the U-joints.

    #3 replacing the broken Glass on the Vert top...is going to cost around 600-700 (not the 300 i expected)

    #4 it has an obd2 connecter...but when hooked up to a code finder....it wont give up the code

    #5 the car drives and handles well

    #6 the body kits needs some work, but ill only do so much to it.


    What i did today.

    Noticed that the front bumper body kit was sagging......so i took it off to investagate....the foam was on upside down..i turned it upright and now its sits decently.

    but for the most part i spent the day finding out what problems where, and how to best go about fixing them.

    tommrow, will be spent getting parts on order, or picking them up in store.


    But i must say the 5.0 has some advatages to the ls1 right off the bat so it seems....its just seems like an easier car to work on, much better space, more parts avaiable for cheap.

    Anyway i expected all of this so im currently happy with the purchase.

      not that it really matters, but I assume the whole point of the car then was so that you have a car to work on vs. a car that's already built?

        Maybe you can change your plugs on this car yourself?

                thats part of it...but not the biggest part.

                          Come on Cam just admit it you sold the T/A because you could not change the plugs on it, I can't wait to say i told you so after you realize what a mistake you made.
