i have a gen4 gutted 5.3 with 862 heads,
and ly6 guts laying around for my 6.0 block also, and 317 heads etc

i believe i might go semi retard, as i already have, i had a friend cage the car already right when i picked it up, so it would have a tiny bit of safety this time haha

kicking around doing twin 76s or single Borg setup, i would love to see 800-1000 and dip low 9s or 8s with this one

i have a th400 and microsquirt laying around also, so thats most likely going in this guy also

showing the car, and we dyno'd the stock inline 6 motor for fun
and this shows off the cage

Why scrap a nice Fairmont 4.0 and not offer it to an LS1Tech member or Sloppy Mechanics Facebook page member... and then buy a Fairmont 5.0?

Love the builds and the sloppyness, just curious!

Matt, before you scrap the original motor, have you thought about slapping turbo onto it to see how high you can get it? (through the carb)

Original rwhp was like 75, right? Can you get it to 150 rwhp?
