Well, i turned the car around, im gonna finish up the rear end. I pulled the rear end, and im cleaning it up, and then i might paint it. I need to finish coating the pan and wheel wells with Rubberized underbody coating. then ill bolt the rear end back in and put on the bumper and tail lights, and get to work on the engine bay again.

I'm very happy for you and I'm really enjoying watching your progress. I'm sorry to hear about your dad's illness. My brother had a very serious illness too.

Thank you. Its hard for me... to feel worried about not having my car done. As excited as I am to finish the car, It makes it hard to worry about material things when my dad is as sick as he is.

I've been watching this build from the beginning but now I'm concerned.

Dude, you can't be serious about that pink paint. It only takes one thing to mess the whole car up. Sounds like you need a father figure. Maybe take you to a car show, strip club, monster truck show. Something to show you that pink is not a color to be on a man's car/truck.

Maybe a rainbow sticker is in your future?

Keep us posted though.

Lol. This thing will only be on the car through the winter, then ill be getting a Midwest Chassis Fabbed 9" for it with 4.56, 40sp and a spool

So until then, no need to take the 10bolt seriously.

Someone is taking this a bit to serious.


Definitely no homo here.

Ill say it again, a fabbed 9" isnt to far down the road

and until then i see no reason to take my bitch 10bolt seriously.

If you delete some it will probably work again.But for the pics you already posted it will say this picture has been deleted.But then you will be able to post again.Not sure on the rest of it but i am positive about the deleting part.Delete one or more pics and try it again,Or you could start another account and just add one more letter to you current user name.That would probably work but i think you have to change your e-mail also.I would just start another account so i wouldn't lose any pics.

I'm going 4.185 bore x 4.125 stroke, but with a relseeved LS2. And spraying a dual stage 300 (150/150) I have a LSX iron block sitting here but I just don't want to use that stroke in the short cylinders.

I'm expecting/hoping we'll get 650-680 RWHP through my A4 (4L80E) with a .650 lift cam 260 duration @50 on a 114 lsa on 1.7 ratio....with a decent idle. The intake is where all the power is though. I'm using the Harrop ITB intake on top of 400+ cfm heads. I'm having the guy in the video below fly down to do my dyno tune. I'm using the same cam as he has. He just finished a 454ci LSX iron with 372 cfm AFR 245cc heads and the Harrop intake and he made 752 RWHP through a manual tranny..yes...RWHP. granted his manual tranny has minimal drivetrain loss. He said the Harrop was easy to tune too. He made 65 hp more than his FAST 90/90 when he went to the Harrop ITB. His Wilson sheet metal only made like 4 RWHP more than the FAST 90/90. And the sheet metal was unable to idle good below 1,200 rpm...now his Harrop idles at 600 rpms. He's running E85 too.

Intakes are where the power is. Look at this sweet idle from a 752 RWHP N/A street engine.

Listen to that mean *** sound:

Good luck I have built dozens on these types of engines and I have yet to see a MID sleeve block not have problems over 500hp these are just not stable at all. When I was at West tech we did some testing and the sleeves are nice dont get me wrong but to get the correct fit is almost impossible even with the best machinery. Not trying to knock your build just wanna save you headaches. I had a 454ls7 with a mid sleeve block sleeves leaked I tore the thing down checked everything and looked great when apart ? I had another block done by a sponsor o here assuming I did something wrong ? $2300 later it still leaks water when ran hard ? I changed to a LSX no problems ? made 700hp with WCCH L92's
