Good morning guys. We are still looking for a smoking deal on wheels, PM me if you know of any. Hoping to have the car in for paint this week, and hopefully in a couple of weeks all the parts will be here. This 91mm is heavy!

John,

Glad you got my 91mm in.. Told you it was a beast. Shipping weight was 7X lbs..





Motor should be there is a week or so. Had to send it via pallet and freight. Remember, it's 8.5 -1cr with the AFR 225 heads and -14cc pistons so it should hold at full song at 8,000 rpm. Glad your able to test it for me while I finish up the 73..

Looks like it will be a busy day at the track. Motown Muscle vs. Michiganspeed is going down that day also. Maybe a little winnner vs. winner action

Best race ever on pinks? There were two, Trevin from Dallas and the Tosto guys. All of them race the **** out of their cars and know ever inch and every hundreth it will run. Period. Trevin had a nice reliable 355 with a two stage and those other guys couldnt do **** because they had NO idea what Trev could do in that car. He wasted them easily.

I just see this going bad. Sorry.

They still have almost four months till the show is filmed and a lot of people willing to help. No reason to get negative just yet.

What would be great is if most of the donators for the stang were LS1tech members.


Rich: Tell us about your mustang.

Mustang crew: Well first we would like to thank all of our sponsors and the many LS1tech members that dontated cash to help with the build.

BWHAHAHAHAHA

Rich: Tell us about your camaro.

John: Well we would also like to thank our sponsors and the LS1tech members that helped build this car and the stang.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA

Go on to beat them and ownage of the century.

Though it's off the table at this point, I still agree whipping them with an LSx powered Mustang would've been friggin classic!

I sure as hell hope ur bullshittin.. Cause if ur not then we are ****** done.. The ONLY good thing (good for us) I've seen so far about their setup is that they are running a MOD motor. If they could use a windsor type block or cleveland block we would be screwed cause it doesn't take that much to get into the mid 8's with a yates headed cleveland or big inch windsor platform. Doing it with a mod motor is gonna be a little bit harder. And I'd bet my *** they won't **** around with a manual transmission wether its 4, 5, or 6spd.
