looks great! Now lets see a vid of this beast run!

 

boy, i really like the way that engine looks with the black tpi set up/valve covers with the red fuel rails and "chevrolet".... from what you've listed, it must be a beast of a motor..

 

WHooly shizznits!
This is fcking bad ***! I love the way that
engine looks. I want something just like that for my ride!
How much does something like that set you back?

Also, while the motor was out, I replaced the water pump, power steering pump and resevoir, both PS hoses, motor mounts

If you count whats listed above, plus oil, tranny fluid, PS fluid, Antifreeze, and Lucas, It adds up to about $7000. But the look on a *****'s face when they rev their little fart can muffler and look at me, then I open the cut out and show them what NASCAR sounds like, PRICELESS.

 

:hail: :hail: :hail:

You're my new role model

 

looks great, ought to be a sweet high 12 car!

 

honestly I wouldnt care how fast that one was that thing looks killer in there. I love how you did it with the black and red together with the little hints of brushed aluminum in there to accent things nicely. I wish my engine bay looked half as good as that one.

 

high 12's ? thats all huh?
mine is similar..... i thought it would be more with good tracktion.......

 

Very, very nice man... How fast is it actually???

 

Thanks for all the compliments, this time around I tried to pul a lot of show and go into it. The worst thing is, I have only driven about 4 blocks to the exhaust shop, had the catback and cat welded in, and then had to go to work, so I'm not sure how fast she's going to be. Still have to figure out timing, fuel pressure, and also a custom chip is in the works. But I need a little time to read up before I start changing constants and tables. So you guys think that it might be a 12 second car huh? That was my immediate goal, so we'll have to see.

 

yeah hte custom chip is the hardest part u have to find aplace where they r willing to get it perfect thats local and not mail order.

 

it might be a high 12 low 13, i mean the ls1 have like 330 to the wheels , and that should be about the same, get some good sticky tires on there and youll be golden.

 

ugh, stock ls1 f bodys dont get 330hp to the wheels

 

true...their range is anywhere from 280-315 and the 315 was on a factory freak. that motor should be good for a high 12 low 13 pass though as i would assume it has more torque then an ls1 so with the right tires and that amount of crank horse it should be just fine. possibly squeeze more if you matched your parts really well and had it dialed in perfectly.

 

most likely you will break into the 12's but wont run that every single time unless youre an excellent driver. that engine is deady sexy tho anyways id happy no matter what

 

wow


That looks just how I have always dreamed my motor to look like!! Sigh. Someday

Definately need some videos of that beast!!

Looks awesome, let us know what it does!
