I might just keep it, i always end up with parts so maybe ill just build it up for something. plus the mint harness is worth its weight in gold.

Or use it for spare parts.

ya alot of people have asked me about it, i may just keep it. Since i really dont know the background to well of the motor nor what junkyard it came from or mileage.

May just wire it up on my engine stand and get it running then install it in my boat.
found manifolds for it already.
http://www.cassellmarine.com.au/p/85...manifolds.html
And i already have a hot cam, comp cams adjustable timing chain and ported 5.3 heads shaved .040 with the big intake valves. I could just degree the cam in a little retarded so it'll have good mid range for crusing.

And then hell, I got a set of ls1 pistons,,, for 150 i can have the block bored to a 3.908 ls1 bored then i could have a high compression heads/cam iron 5.7L lsx boat. Dam AND SELL my 80hr 5.0 mercruiser for a G!

Dammit why did i think of this.

just wrecked my truck! ughhh a Benz with 7 (in a five seater) under age kids cutoff a guy and got t boned and they rolled the benz into my truck while i was at a red light!

So i helped the kids out of the car( also pulled beer bottles out) and they had 2 cases of corona in the trunk (that all broke and made a huge puddle of beer on the ground). So anyways the kids got no sobriety test (after the cops joked with me about how drunk they smelled and looked) and got only a ticket for failure of right of way!!! I took videos and pictures of everything! and on the police report they were all underage on it and said there was only 5 people were in the car!!!!

Ohhh wait till my lawyer hears this! Im furious

Well, BLINGOLE put his final "masters touch" on the ole camaro turd and he is gonna strap it down to the dyno, hopefully Wednesday night. With all of the parts he stuffed into that old wore out engine and of course with the addition of the chrome mudflaps and the fuzzy dice,.............. it surely should be over 325 HP! ...............beware Polk County Hyundais and Datsuns, I'm gonna kick your ***!
