yeah...its a class..

LuckyHenriksen · 01-14-2009, 10:59 PM

Maybe you can request a semester transfer.

texanidiot25 · 01-14-2009, 11:07 PM

Varies by schools, wether or not they have a shop, much less be able to dump students to other shops

Can't wait to bring it home and start stripping it...... any of you by chance know the street value of a complete top end for a 2001 LQ4?

I'd call up a dealership and ask, then figure what you'd buy it off of their price, and sell it at that. I'll talk to my dad this weekend and see what he thinks. He's a 20 yr GM tech.

LuckyHenriksen · 01-14-2009, 11:10 PM

That would be great texan! I need to get this stuff sold to have some cash to buy a set of L92 heads a big holley

texanidiot25 · 01-14-2009, 11:12 PM

No problemo

In the mean time, call up a local chevy dealership and ask to talk to their parts department manager, or service manager if they fail. Don't describe that your selling parts, but say your rebuilding a motor and would like to price the parts. Should help give you an idea of what factory parts are.

LuckyHenriksen · 01-14-2009, 11:17 PM

Ok thanks, good plan. I will call tomorrow and see what i find out. Better yet, I will take my moms Denali in for an oil change and sit there and talk to the guys at the counter, see if they will print out a list for me. I will post what I find. Thanks for the inspiration

Gray Ghost · 01-15-2009, 12:12 AM

Sweet deal!!! Sounds like you got a good one. Can't wait to see pics!

LuckyHenriksen · 01-15-2009, 05:25 PM

Woooooo!!!!! More pics to come soon....

This is in the school parking lot right after I went a fetched it haha. I was getting some strange looks, for both my beater Furd hauler and the cargo....

chevy_mike · 01-15-2009, 05:47 PM

Nice! Good score on that one.

LuckyHenriksen · 01-15-2009, 06:18 PM

More details..... its actually an '02 out of a Yukon and the heads are alum.

will start pulling it apart tonight.

VA72C10 · 01-15-2009, 06:31 PM

That's a sweet looking beast!!!

texanidiot25 · 01-15-2009, 06:59 PM

LKQ frickin' rules.

LuckyHenriksen · 01-15-2009, 07:26 PM

Fo Sho

Gray Ghost · 01-15-2009, 07:51 PM

Congrats buddy! Can't wait to watch the build up.

thirdstreettito · 01-15-2009, 09:58 PM

Sweet! You guys got LKQ up there? Cool!

LuckyHenriksen · 01-15-2009, 10:54 PM

Yep LKQ rocks. I will be calling them soon to source a starter and alternator and whatever pulleys I need. Anyone know how to create a front drive setup that just has an alternator, water, and steering pump?

my67chevytruck · 01-15-2009, 11:28 PM

nice score on the motor.

heavy71chevy · 01-15-2009, 11:30 PM

Lucky...As much as ive read over your build I think im on board for the carbed ls series motor myself..Ive been reading up on it and its so much more simple then I ever knew..We actually used to build the stock intake setup at boush for ls2-ls7 and it s what always made me second guess messing with these newer ls series..but now that ive sone the research on it all Im in complete aw at how much sence it makes...the hp/torque specs are extreme and I really like the idea of just pluging up the msd 6L and hitting the road....So in on board myself and im suscribed

Awesome man, Im glad someone else gets where Im coming from

have you read the story in CarCraft on the junkyard 6L they built? It was my main inspiration.

LuckyHenriksen · 01-16-2009, 01:52 AM

Got the motor out of the *gasp* ford and into the garage.

And started pulling things apart....

Dirty! I found out that the stock intake mani weighs 20 lbs. and the new GMPP aluminum one weighs 10. Throw a big Holley on there and it should be closer to 20-25

Now come the craigslist ads to sell all the stuff I won't use.... if you are interested in any of the stuff I have for sale just LMK

Truck ex. mani.- $70
Truck intake- $80
317 Alum. heads- $150
Just to name a few

thirdstreettito · 01-16-2009, 03:50 AM

What color are you gonna paint it? Cat yellow or Cummins red would be sweet!

OLDIRON69 · 01-16-2009, 09:31 AM

Helluva deal for $600!

LuckyHenriksen · 01-16-2009, 12:08 PM

Paint the motor? Planning on a clean silver/aluminum and black engine bay.

Aw, but everyone has one painted silver. Dont you want it to be unique?

texanidiot25 · 01-16-2009, 02:10 PM

No, everyone has a red (Chevy orange) motor or a black motor. All silver painted is much less seen.
