sounds good , so when u guess u will finish this project ?

 

You're certifiably insane.

 

every one is free on their goals

he want to build that LSX 454 for DD as he told above for the 4 seasons

for instance
other guy want to build his motor for badass street racing and other guy want to build his motor to deliver pizza orders haha kidding and thats it etc ....

I know few guys that they have damn fast cars and just for show and they won't race anyone

 

I put 18k miles in the first 3months I owned her.

Heck Yea, its just a car. It was not designed to sit in a garge.

I guess its all matter of opinion, but I think its way to nice a ride to NOT be driven that much. again, all perception, It wouldnt be worht the money I have into it, for it just to sit...

Early October. Hopefully.



Ive heard that more than once.

 

Im not exactly sure what you were trying to get at...

Im more than willing to race anyone, anytime... (Why else would I run 335 R6s everyday) No need to switch out my "street tires"

Oh and you cant do a build like this working at pizza hut.

Anyway, no offense guys, I have a very different view on how to treat cars. No worries

 

good luck bro

 

I made 573 RWHP & 525 TQ ON 91 octane out at lake Elsinore California with a set of cnc'd ls7 heads 405+cfm with a .629 lift 248 252 @ .050 cam 11.1 comp 454 lsx.. I'm think'n should be fairly nasty with a bigger cam little more compression less restrictive exhaust 102 mm Intake instead of the ls7 and retune probably looking at around 620ish with 91-93 oct fairly easy...Check it out .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlv8xqia2Q0

 

That a pretty sweet setup. but, you would probably get more attention if you made your own thread rather than piggy backing my decrepid thread.

 

Why on earth would you build a car and let it sit?

They are meant to be driven

 

Thats exactly my point. I dont see how people can put 10s of thousands of dollars into a car, and not drive the **** out of it... Thats what its for... If its not gonna be driven just get a sixxer and put some LS1 badges on it.

 

that was a little snide.

 

well I didnt mean to be so blunt, but I saw he was new to the forum, and thought he might want some direction. And this thread hasn't been worth a **** since I started it.

 

I agree. I think cars should be driven. I just mean that the parts are too expensive to replace if something was to happen. Why not get a car for that many miles that is good on gas and cheap to repair. Just my opinion I know everyone thinks differently.

 

It's your car do whatever its beautiful and sounds great!! Great work!! I was just surprised when you said that many miles.

 

Yea most people are pretty blown away, but I just dont understand why I would spend money buying and keeping up another car, just so I dont have to spend money on my Trans Am.

Im not in to driving a shitbox car... maybe if I could afford to get an S4 or something for winter, thats about it.

 

Well im hoping to get this thread moving here soon... Trying to get ahold of of Chris at CCP, to get my motor in the next week or so...

 

Any word on your motor?

 

Well, after months of frustrating delays.... My motor will be shipping out tuesday... hopefully in my hands by friday...? and obviously ill get some pics up as proof then

Im so fawking excited!!!


I do need a water pump, if someone has one they'd like to donate... Id appreciate it. Im gonna be really tight on cash the next few months trying to finish this... so please buy my stuff, so i can buy more stuff for the trans am.

 

Well, the engine was supposed to come friday... but i guess monday itll be here. Idk whose fault that is...

I spent the last couple days getting the garage ready to start working on the trans am again. organized all the parts ive gathered for the 454...

I just put 12" shocks and new shock towers on the jeep, and I had a few other projects that will have to go on hold. but thats a good thing.

 

Engine Pics Tomorrow!
