Sorry to hear that you gotta stop. But your priorities are definately in the right place.

Just notices the parking lot and it looked very familiar. Then I looked closely at the other pics and noticed the Dolittle prison walls, wood frame bad and cheap *** carpet.

I graduated Riddle in 2005. I now fly CRJ700/900 for ASA. Im sure you see our planes come in there all the time.

Very very sorry to hear about your Dad. I went through a similar thing with my Dad recently.


This is an excellent HKE engine here people, Callies crank and rods, Wiseco pistons. Just about finished and ready to ship. Trevor has done the hard part. (waiting for it to be built) but he certainly has his priorities straight. If anyone has any questions about this engine please contact me, I am helping him sell it. Price is $6610 plus freight.

And im here to let you all know, my dad is really sick, and i will not have enough money for awhile to finish this project, so I will do something smaller. I need to help out with bills and such, so thanks for all your support and admiration. I was excited to see this finished, but i have other obligations. My engine was just finished to... so...

I have a 454 LSX Shortblock for sale.

I will make a post in the for sale section, with lots more parts also
sorry to hear that bud , hope all turns out well. good luck

I wonder if the fast for the l92's will pick up over the l76 intake. For the money I hope so.

Okay guys, now its been 1 month since i decided to kill this build. and since then some things have changed, for the better. I am living at home but that is saving money, and some other better stuff.


SOOO it looks as tho im gonna be able to "finish" this build..

There are several things i cant do, yet:
Fabbed 9"
Built T56
Suspension
Wheels
Z06 Brakes

Im not sure what else.

Im trying to get some stuff sold(old projects) so those will be up for sale tomorrow, hopefully.

Anyway, I need to price out whats left to buy,

I need some:
stock LS7 heads
oil pan
y-pipe
catback
gaskets
finish paying for shortblock


Anyway, I love pics. So as it sits. (As you'll see my new puppy, boxer mix, is very helpful)






BTW, I am excited to have a chance to finish this.

Thanks... I'm not sure how much you read. But I already bought an ls7. And more importantly I can barely afford to finish the build period. I wish I could.

Edit: I notice you missed the last 12 pages. Several months have passed.

Once again, I'd love to get a sheetmetal intake down the road
