just to let everybody know this build didnt just happen over nite. Ive had the car for about 4 yrs now and my original plans were ls1 swap but after i got the bottom end built i lost my job so money was tight for a while and the car set for a good 8-9 months.. I am not rich or a spoiled kid i buy everything my self and pay my bills so she had to wait.. now this build wasnt desinged to be pretty or make alot of power on motor. i plan on sprayin it
after about a yr of collecting lt1 parts i landed a good job and got to thinkin this thing can either do good or go completly wrong and waist alot more money. So plans changed and operation budget went into effect for the top end.. this part might make sum of u go... wtf is this idiot doing!
Now dont get me wrong i love my lt1 and that cc306 cam is hella sweet but now days u just need more power so i started lookin into the ls1swap again. And now thats where my eyes are set.. forged 370 with a snail..
idc if i sound dumb i know i waisted all that money so far but its my first build so now the only thing left to do is pill it to kill it bc im already lookin fwd the next build
let the bashing commence

No bashing here, the motor should run good. I would look at better rockers and a safer way of jacking up the car to work on it. I like the rims and rear spoiler. Nice ride.

believe it or not it was pretty stable like that.. gave it the old shake test first cause i was a worried about getting under it with it that high up and it was pretty solid. But now being a manager at collision center and mechanic shop i have access to a lift so now everything is gravy.. And sourcing ls1 parts are way easier too.. stock 6.0 short block and ls1 kmember are already here at the shop tucked away waiting
