1990 Toyota Supra Turbo
418 Forged LS3 block 600+rwhp
Supercharger (Or may change to twin turbo!)
Powerglide / trans brake
Engine was previously in my 2006 Corvette, with a stalled 6L80e trans. The trans is the entire reason for purchasing the new car. Going to eliminate that little problem!
Looking into doing an ls swap in my 03 mustang
I'd like to go with a 6.0 iron block motor with a t56 on nitrous
Just curious what k member, headers, cam, would be the best for this application
Some quick info on the car. It's a Belgian made car, found it by chance a few blocks from my house. They originally came with an inline 4 cyl, 4 speed and weighed about 2180 pounds showroom stock. It had power discs in the front, a 3 link type rear suspension and f/r sway bars. I did EXTENSIVE mods to get the current combo in it. 4 months of 60 hrs a week in the garage trying to make drag week 14'. We finished the car the night before and it literally had 80 miles on it before driving it from KC to Tulsa. It was untuned and untested. Even with the tall gears and 2 speed transmission it went 12.3 and got 20 mpg avg for the week. With the exception of a couple of sensors swaps we didn't turn a wrench on it all week. Big thanks to my Friend Joey Grier for his tuning help and Collin Williams for all the labor and fab work. It has a narrowed 8.8 with all the good stuff from strange in it. We had to narrow it 12.5 inches to get it under the car. We also converted the rear suspension to a torque arm set up. The motor is a stock 04 5.3 short block, ported/polished and milled 241's with BTR valve train, ported LS2 intake, ported Edelbrock TB and custom exhaust. The glide has a tranny brake, manual valve body and a TCI 3400 stall. I'm running 235/50/15 M/T drag radials in the back. It's got Strange double adjustable coil overs in the front and strange single adj shocks in the rear on stock springs
Car was originally going to be a cam/heads NOS car which is why I went with the glide. I had 3.08 gears in when I competed at drag week but since I didn't have time to get the cage in it I scrapped the NOS due to the safety rules. I've since put in 4.10's in anticipation of my new mods coming early spring. I'm pulling the glide and going with a 200R4 and adding more cubes as well. The cage will go in once all the motor/tranny stuff is finished. Car currently is an easy 11.50 time slip. After the new mods my goal is mid 10's. It weighs about 2500 with me in it.
Putting a 6.0/4l80e into the truck. Manual valve body with trans brake, Ford 9 inch with 4.30 gears, mid length headers, and Zex perimeter nitrous kit under a Dominator 950.
This is going to be a twin to my last one, but this one has a dose of Viagra.

1981 Firebird one owner car. Getting a LQ9/4l60 Any input on the motor build is appreciated since I am new to LS based engines and have only had experience with SBC carb engines.
I was only looking for a good body and frame, but I ended up finding a complete running car. I purchased this 37 Ford 2 door Sedan and drove it 220 miles to my house with the original Flathead drivetrain. The first part of my plan is to upgrade the car with a modern chassis and driveline including an LS motor. More soon on the build.
Hi I have a 1970 Olds cutlass I would like do do a 5.3 swap on. I want to do a carburetor conversion kit. I was wondering what some of the pros and cons of doing this are and any ideas that would help me along the way.
