I wish! did your car get sold?

plans kept changing and I was going up and down and this way and that way....

I wanted to build a short block so the car wasn't stuck at John's house very long but just couldn't find everything for a decent price

This stuff is a 4" crank, 6.125 rods and 3.898 pistons... (that's the kicker)

so this is going to end up being a 382ci 6.26 liter meaning I'm taking a 5.3 and boring it out to a stock 5.7 bore

this way I can take my short block and fix it correctly this time and then have it as a spare/next project/ or sell it

I've been ready for a change so this is deff a change... should run good too

Those parts prob cost more than i have in my car.

That should be killer Chris.


But, but, but, I thought all anyone needed was a JY LS???


Just giving you crap.

It is all you need, Chris just has really really bad luck.

I bought it all from a guy that went a different direction with his build... nothing has been open
I got rods with arp 2000 bolts, forged pistons, forged 4" stroker crank and a good 5.3 short block (with stock rotating assym) all for $1500 so although it still is a lot of money.. its not near as expensive as if I would have bought it all from a dealer

plus this way I can get the short block all built and ready to do a quick swap

That should be killer Chris.

Cant wait to see it back on the road Chris. My dream is to do the Power Tour sometime in The Rat

yea, theyre picking it up next weekend. Its being shot for rod and kustom Monday

btw, looking forward to seeing this car back on the road. I have always enjoyed your progress on it

Just remember to overfill the oil!

I still like your car, and there is no such thing as too much power, just inadequate traction.

I have everything except a gasket set for the 2.3T. I hope to get it built before too long. I guess I should start the build thread I was going to start a year ago.
