Initially I thought about running a Vortech carb enclosure.but EFI it will now be. Then I found my spare Procharger P600 bracket.and a P600 head unit Not a hard choice to make (can tune ECU myself, have the stuff.been there done that on 3rd gen camaro and GTA) I also have a complete HotRodLane/Street & Performance Multiport MPFI system lying around, it has a complete standalone harness w/ fuse box and a weatherpack ECM. A checker tool is a must with these to set them up properly. I have 3 sets and only 1 set gave me guide wear issues because I was stupid enough not to use crane gold rockers and go with the recommended. I had it powdercoated matte black and the bolts are all gold zinc plated. I only had 1 belt because I remove the other belt (no AC/smog pump) It's also a clean looking setup. This will take care of the annoying power steering belt whine. I am installing a 3rd Gen F body serpentine system. It needed more oomph for sure and I have a lot of spare stuff from my camaros/trans ams and other projects. I don't have a pic of the freshly coated rad frame, bracketry, lamp buckets and what not. Old crap that came out (and some fresh powdercoated stuff in there) brackets baked on by an idiot with a stick welder. I took the front section out, repaired a bunch of nasty bubba welding repairs and misc. So, only thing to do is tear it all apart. Now, everything else looks like a big mess.
ROAD FIGHTER COUPLE PATCH
Welded on the fabbed new front patch panel I ground the welds a little smooth (this can't be seen anyway) and liberally applied corrosion protection and seam sealer. The section I cut out was beyond repair so I fabbed a new panel for that too. Time to cut out all the nasty and weld in a fresh patch. I cut out the offending piece and found what I expected to find.
ROAD FIGHTER COUPLE CRACKED
Probably cracked sealant from the brake booster and the wiper motor deflecting the firewall. 2 panels seperated and rust coming from in between. Not good! Time to pull the brake booster, and sure enough.there was the ugly.

After pulling all of the interior out I could see daylight around the fuse box. Caused by a blocked drain hole and fender rolling.Īnyway.time to check out what's up. I have some minor bubbling of the paint on the bottom of the front fenders.

This is probably the culprit.all that white crap. This is the 2nd time it's being redone, so I present my road fighter 83 SC stepper ver. Figured I'd replace the blown (lost 2nd) TH400 and replace w/ a 700R4, might as well build a new engine for it with fuel injection and throw on a supercharger for good measure. Hi all, I'm new here and figured I'd share my little in between project (have some other builds going on at the same time, some restos, some small builds and a couple of big ones) anyway, I decided that I had to fix up my stepper because of a little rust in the firewall and lower portion of the front fenders.
