I am sure you will have a motor before too long Brien. Remember my last motor was toast long before yours died

The Alchemist

iTrader: (19)

You're right. Hopefully it's the last motor in both of our cases.

It's gonna go at least 2 tenths slower than mine

Well since you havn't started a build thread yet mine goes 2 tenths faster then yours even had first outting and I beat you to the 8s. oh yeah and you would need to have a motor to be faster than me

lol yeah mine has long since passed the stage of being able to return to stock

Yeah I'm working on the motor part....... I'm sure 10's will feel fast for me after this long time off. Either way I guess we are racing to 8's.

Well things have been coming along slowly. I have hit a few little snags I wasn't expecting. LS2 lifter trays are different then ls1, ls9 head gasket were packaged wrong.. and some other little things. But I did get my remote mount water pump and adaptor blocks for the remote water pump. Also had 1fastbird weld new fittings on the rad for the waterpump new coolant lines. Here are some pics

Chad welding the fittings on the rad



Finished rad






Pump mounted to rad





I also had the fill cap welded closed and put a -10 fitting on the rad to run to an expansion tank. I will also be running the line from the steam tubes to the expansion tank as well

I am hoping to get this motor together and buttoned up soon. Then to start working on the chasis

The welds will do there job. Just not really proud of them. Practice makes perfect I guess.

aluminum is either solid or liquid like water, doesn't give you much error in trying to get the perfect puddle.

Pretty sure my welder was struggling with that 3/8" plate considering it's a 165 amp tig. Took forever to get good heat in it and keep it there. There were some parts of it that looked somewhat professional

Putting it in the oven to pre heat helps a lot.
