It will be a larger........Lid, MAF, TB, Intake, Heads, Cam, Headers, Ypipe into a magnaflow catback, all bolted to a LQ9 block. I'm hoping that it will be a few more horses than a stock LS1. We'll see what happens!

Actually, I have a SLP lid now, not stock. I am going to the Fast Toys 98mm lid so it will fit the new MAF without trying to find adapter hoses. So yes, I will be getting rid of the lid but it is the SLP version.

What did track temperature end up being last night? I figured that it wouldn't hook anything cause it was so cold!

AllPro Autoparts in Auburndale. they have about 10 in stock. different mileage and years and such. they have 3 or 4 low mileage 02 motors for $550 each, the 99's like I have are $450. they are on ebay. I actually bought my motor from them on ebay then picked it up cash in person. when I got there they had it on a pallet sitting outside ready for me. handed them cash, handed me a receipt and they forklifted it into the back of the truck and I was on my way. couldn't have asked for a smoother experience. they have lq9's also, I think they start at around $800

harbor freight in lakeland?

and as for AllPro they don't have the motors out in the yard. when you got to the counter, tell them what you are looking for and they will direct you over to their commercial sales side where all the really cool stuff is
