DROOL< DROOL <DROOL, wow that engine just looks amazing, sure makes me want to have done one in mine instead, but my little 358 500hp will do, but that just looks way cooler!

I have never bought any body parts for my truck, and all the engine parts I buy are for LS1's. I have good luck on Ebay, craigslist, and this forum

Frizzle Fry · 05-05-2009, 08:49 PM

That intake and those headers look awesome! Almost makes me want to go carb'ed on my LS1 project (whenever i get back on it). I just noticed you are in Oregon. You should cruise that baddog to the PIR cruise-in when you get it driving.

Thanks man, I love all your projects

I will bring it out for sure as soon as it moves under its own power

'72customdeluxe · 05-06-2009, 12:14 AM

Dude, the truck is looking niiice. I miss my long bed

It looked so good lowered, similar rake to yours

texanidiot25 · 05-06-2009, 12:13 AM

Looks sick. I'd track down those coil pack covers that the other LS member has (orange motor block...) and toss those on, even with out the coils. Just give the motor a totally new, old schoolish look.

And make folks really go WTF when they see it.

LuckyHenriksen · 05-06-2009, 12:23 AM

Thanks guys! Texan, what covers do you speak of? The edelbrock ones that look like old school finned valve covers? Those would be cool but spendy. I like the look of the coils sitting out there, Eventually, they will probably get upgraded to MSD coil packs, but they are like $700

texanidiot25 · 05-06-2009, 12:33 AM

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.

Are you talking about Mike Nutt in alabama, he recently removed his 396 and installed a 6.0.... see link below.

LuckyHenriksen · 05-06-2009, 12:48 AM

Thats cool, if I recall he sent me some pics a while back. At least the orange block sounds familiar

MrBeast · 05-06-2009, 09:35 AM

LS1? nah, this would have been so much better!

And its chrome too!

texanidiot25 · 05-06-2009, 03:26 PM

Yes!

That's the covers. They'd look right at home with the Carb sitting up top.

LuckyHenriksen · 05-06-2009, 07:14 PM

Yep its mike, I just saw his update to the thread. Very badass. Too clean!

SCIV · 06-12-2009, 10:50 PM

Any updates Lucky?

LuckyHenriksen · 06-13-2009, 02:08 AM

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.

LuckyHenriksen · 06-14-2009, 01:02 PM

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

mikajo39 · 06-14-2009, 01:05 PM
