ah yeah that is a great store. I live like 15 mins from there on 98. I have to stay away unless I really need something, otherwise I go in and buy tons of **** I don't really need lol.

yea i work with him, he keeps telling me that the more he looks at my stuff the more he doesnt want honda anymore
I know he blew his up the weekend after we raced and it's still down. he bought that Ruckus instead and has been playing with it. I asked him yesterday what the deal was on the teg and he said he has been slowly doing stuff here and there but no big rush on it. sounds to me like he's trying to decide what to do now. he puts down the same power as me, but weighs 500+lbs less, yet only got me by about a car. so he's probably thinking ls's look pretty damn good right now lol.
and if you work at Regal you probably know Bryan aka "part-time" too lol

4L80E Rebuild Finally got started tearing down the 4L80E yesterday. I had the valve body torn down a week ago but really got serious with the internals! 
It turned out that I was able to get everything out without the special tools that they call for. I did buy a spring compression tool so I can get into those clutches and the sprag. Here are a couple of the before, during and after pictures!

Here are a couple of the before, during and after pictures! Dammit!! I can't find an Lq9 for under 1800. All pro auto parts had one and said just the block would be 1500. dammit. I want to swap motors. sell what I got, build a bad *** motor for DD use for a fun weekend Track car.
Anyone know of a good LQ9 Motor for sell. let me know, good miles and has not been in a roll over and had a 24 reluctor such on such on

I don't mind paying the price difference actually. extra 20-30 hp = game on. It's all good. I search ebay for 6.0 engine and came across some 2500 Silverado engines for 1000 anyone know if those are the LQ9's?

My 6.0L is a LQ9. It came out of a Escalade. I just found out that the block is a 2004 or newer because it has the "all one length" head bolts. The LQ9's were used in:
LQ9 (VIN N) Applications:
2002–2006 Cadillac Escalade
2002–2006 Cadillac Escalade EXT
2003–2006 Cadillac Escalade ESV
2003–2007 Chevrolet Silverado SS
2004–2005 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra Vortec HO Edition Only [Badging on truck](B4V)
2006–2007 Classic Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra VortecMAX Option
Good luck with finding one.

There's no reason to pay the extra cash for a lq9. Unless u pull the heads and look at the pistons when u buy the engine u can't tell anyways. The block casting number are exactly the same. I could have a lq4 and sell it to u as a lq9 and u would never know unless u pulled the heads. Buy a lq4 and put a cam in it like bad hombre said. I just sold a complete lq4 dropout with tranny, harness, and computer for $1100.
