Will Northrup

Hey, so I am super new to the LS world and learning lots quickly but i thought i should make a post and become a part of the community.

Well i dont really want to share much about my project and im sure it will be frowned upon but to give you a little information i bought a junk yard LS1 out of a wrenched trans am which seemed to only have a broken valve cover. This is all i was told and i didnt know much about this style of motor so i took the guys word for it and bought it.

upon brake down i found that it was in bad shape... really bad shape... i have lots of pictures and perhaps its not as bad as i think but ill let you be the judge. after i upload them.(will post better ones tomorrow)

anyway long and the short is i need new brackets heads valves etc so i have been digging in deep in the FS threads.

Anyway Im Will i have an LS1 and a car im putting it in. nice to meet you all!



starting with my angry ratchet



looks like this is in good shape



This to!








awesome oil pan is awesome





this fell apart when i pulled it off



well this looks like its in the right place at least



after pulling the pistons i cleaned them and found more had made contact

will post pictures of that later


then i got bored waiting for parts and started polishing the block up and cleaning!





more pictures later but gives you an idea
