My build is FINALLY starting...

Well...

I just purchased a 2001 LS1 for $500!!!

Got it from a dude in a FB forum Im on...

So... He claims 70000 miles and low oil pressure. He admits to pinching the o-ring on the pickup tube. I spun the motor over and it SEEMS ok. I will receive it in 2 weeks. I will tear into it then...

Im thinking 317 heads, some sort of MLS gasket, ARP studs, ARP rod bolts and an LS6 intake...

This is just the beginning. Sorry, I couldnt pass up an LS1 for $500. I wanted an LM7 or LQ4. Deal came along and I had the $$$$

Im open for advice. This will be a SLOOOOOOW project due to $$$$ and the fact that I will be moving soon (divorce)...

Need advice fellas/ladies. Ask questions for my intentions. Im a lil intoxicated and I dont wanna misspell too many words... LOL!

Oh... I plan on building it with a turbo...

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I definitely will. I hope the TGO's web server is robust because I might kill it with all the searching I will be doing. LOL!
