I also have a LBZ duramax with a few mods, we call them redneck limos around here, not into the pulling thing at all..
We'll see what pops up in the future, never know..
Hate to see it go too. You accomplished a lot with a little in that car. I hope you find something soon....I keep thinking tubular chassis also...it would be wicked at 2300lbs and boost.

Definitely sad to see you selling it. I really looked forward to reading your posts and watching videos of your car. The amount of knowledge you have amassed over the years is tremendous, and it was awesome to learn what I did while you built, tuned, and raced your TA. Thanks KP!

Sorry to see it go, but sometimes you have to change things to keep yourself interested or even taking a break can do a lot for a hobby. GL! Stay in touch! Congrats on all the accomplishments with the car!

Thanks for all the help on here. I'm sure you helped a lot more people than you even realize just by sharing info on your car.
I think you should look into being the first one with a procharged 2010 Camaro
It should be a whole new game and you can lead the way for the next generation, see where that takes you. Just an idea. Good luck what ever you do, I'm sure it will be impressive.

Where is the oil leak, did it crack the block low on the left next to the rear cover?
I will be sorry to see you move on, that was a very nice car you built. Can't wait to see what the next car/truck is!

E-mail me a price on the sc system when you get a chance.

I cant look at a new camaro for more than 5 minutes, if anything I'll put an LS where it doesnt belong
Cant see it in the pic but it also cracked on the LH dowel and the crack traveled to the oil galley plug above the oil filter. It wasnt a bad leak, just a few drops after idling for a few minutes. You would think the six little 5/16 bolts that hold the ultrabell on the front of the trans would have pulled out before taking out the block, weird stuff.
I'll be holding onto the engine/blower/trans for a bit, its such a reliable combination I dont think I could go back to a BBC/SBC. I'm just going to wait around on a deal on a roller thats a little different.
I knew it was coming Kev.
Im sad to see it go...
I know you will be around......
Man with that drivetrain u have sitting there.......
Oh man... find a MK IV Supra Roller and stuff the LS1 with the SC in there...
Nahhh.....
Thanks 4 the help in the Past Kev.
I still got your number if i dont see ya on here.

wow this is sad for me to read i have tried to copy this car so much, Kev thank you so much for always help me with my dumb questions, but i hope you stay around here and help all of us newbes!!!
Jump on the bandwagon and shove an LS1 into a miata.... or do two of them. A cheap way to take the family out racing and if you trash one its no big loss... Miata chassis's are a dime a dozen.
