uhhhhh i no idea where we were talking about oil pans. But a f-body pan is worth 200-300 dollars. Even though i can get you a brand new one for 250..

What you building? I can get you a kit car pan with the pick up tube,gaskets,dipstick tube,windage tray and mounting hardware for 175..
It fits virtually all v8 rwd chevys from 1955 to 1995

 

It's just a lq4
Stock bottom end with a built top end
Going in my 95 t/a
I was told the truck oil pans wouldn't fit?
So I was just trying to find one

 

Anyone need any automotive work done? I need to make some money so i can go racing .. late this week ill be done with all the cars in my shop so ill be ready for whatever. motor swaps,mods,suspension, air conditioning stuff, drivetrain, whatever


yes the truck pan wont fit unless if you have a aftermarket tubalar k member. Then the pan just hangs really low. Your best bet would be a f-body pan obvisouly i guess.

 

I want to send some time and see if that kit car pan is any shorter then a f body pan. Im scared one day if my car came up in a big wheel stand it might hit the pan on the landing.

 

mike my trans needs to be rebuilt. got everything else working good. see if you can coordinate with wade for you pulling and re-installing the trans and him rebuilding it and give me a total figure. because now the car is driving beautifully, but I have no 3rd at all and still grinds 2nd. want to get this taken care of so i can get going on my truck. I need to order the 'cage for it next and start putting it in

 

What truck are you building?

 

the 68 in my sig. planning on going 9's, so I gotta put the monkey bars in. the frame has been sandblasted and painted, as well as the suspension. it's sitting as a rolling chassis right now. I gotta patch a hole in the cab floor then it will be ready to go on and get the cage built. I haven't worked on it in montch becasue I have been too busy with getting everything with the t/a right since it's my daily

 

Sounds like a great project. How much do you figure its going to weigh once you get it done? I was just wondering what HP it will take for that 5.3 to push it into the 9's.

 

truck should be around the 3100-3200 mark. as far as the 5.3 goes, I plan on just putting in a stock junkyard motor and boosting the hell out of it with the aid of a meth kit. if it blows, I just pick up another one. the motors are cheap, so worst case I'm out $500 for another one. that is, if it doesn't hold. looking at around 15 psi, 530-550 whp (it's a stick, so on't lose as much through drivetrain loss)

 

Man a 04-up 5.3 with arp rod bolts, arp head bolts,ls9 head gaskets and some good springs would last forever on 15lbs with a good tune. And shoot with a ls6 cam your make 600whp easy

 

I just put a calculator on it and at 3200#'s it would take about 650 flywheel hp to put it to 9.90 et. That's going to be fun!!!

 

that's what I'm going to do if i get one that's disassembled. go ahead and put some hardware and head gaskets in, maybe a little cam, and see what it does. I have some catching up to do with a certain black firebird

also i'm picking up Mark's turbo off his rx7. it's a 76 mm, so it should be good for what I need

 

sweet, if i see a 4.8 or 5.3 laying around the shop ill call ya


Dragstrip thursday btw! Im putting my bmr drag bar in like a hour,,,

 

ok so,
finally got up to 50 posts,
still cant post in the parts classifieds -_-
its getting annoying.

 

Just got back a little while ago from picking up the Camaro from BLINGOLE's shop. The header, ORY and catback install went great. This thing sounds great now! I can tell its got more pull to it too. Fantastic job Mike !!!

Hmmmmm, now we gotta start thinking heads, cam and stuff!

 

I just ordered qa1 coilover's! Hopefully I can get them on and get the car aligned by Thursday night for test and tune. Put my bmr drag bar on last night too! Wow what a diference that thing made,the car does not move side to side for **** now.

 

is the drag bar welded in?
or bolts?

 

I got one of the first new designed bmr ones that is fully boltin. Its a pretty tough piece.

What ya'll think about this hood?

 

blingole............your picture didn't show up.

 

I think that hood would look fantastic on your firebird.

I have the VFN narrow Sunoco hood on my wish list for after I get the engine done. I like the cowl hood without the center line for my camaro.
