Re: Senior Project Build
I can't remember who! He has a LS motor in his truck, the block is orange. He went from a BBC that had custom painted valve covers to this motor. Polished LS-Car intake and the coil covers. I cannot for the life of me find this dude now.
Hopefully he'll see this and chime in. |

Re: Senior Project Build
No, sadly I have lost motivation to get it all finished. Soon enough! I have an LSX lift plate on order from quicktime so I can feel safer moving the motor in and out.

Thanks for the support guys. I went to a big cruise in yesterday, and hearing all the nasty muscle cars roaring around gave me new inspiration

Re: Senior Project Build
Nothing new to have pics of! Yet Here is my rough checklist of things to do:
-Pull Engine/Trans Install head tabs Install head gaskets Unbolt TH400 and have the tab that I broke off re-welded Drill new holes in the frame for the motor mounts -Figure out a way to mount the new 4 core double pass alum. radiator -Install FCG tank under the bed Rig up a bed floor fill cap Plumb new fuel lines Install Holley elec. fuel pump and regulator -Rewire Engine Get the MSD harness hooked up Starter hook up Gauges hooked up Keep working on cheap headers to make them fit -Plumb new 3 inch exhaust (the best part) That is just what comes to mind as I think about it, there might be more |

Re: Senior Project Build
Ahhh you caught me. I really want to finish it, and I have pretty much everything needed.........and your right, lots more than 11K invested. I just lost motivation, and am growing up and changing directions in my life. School, work, serious girlfriend, and new projects (VW, WR250X) are getting in the way. I would love to sell to a board member or someone who would take the time to put it all together.

Re: Senior Project Build
Ahhhh..... I remember when I was young and dumb. I made WAY too many mistakes like this in my life. Too much time and money into a project to only sell it off at a lost, when my whim of the moment for the project was lost.
Boy did I regret a few of those mistakes. Three of those mistakes I ended up buying the same year and model later in life. Good luck on your sale but if you don't have to sell it, put it aside and come back to it later. Years from now, you will regret it, if you sell it.
