Default Parts Arrival

Well I received a few more parts today. My BTR pushrods came in so I went and picked them up. Installed the pushrods, new rockers, ported oil pump, and my front cover. Getting a little bit closer maybe it won't be to much longer now.

Tommy, nice to meet you today. I hope thise 02 sensors work for you.

Man I'm not trying to build no track car what so ever. I just wanted a motor that sounds good, and is a little quicker than a stock 5.7.

Nothing special here.

Sounds cool that you and your dad get to wrench on them together. My oldest son in currently in China going to school, ( 23 ) and my youngest
( 12 ) are in the early stages of looking to a project to work on for his 16 th b-day.

You and 6SSPEED are gonna have to come and hangout with us one weekend and talk shop.

Yea my dad has always helped me out. He doesn't know all the technical stuff I do but he can turn a wrench pretty good. He finally broke down and got one. He loves it haha. His car needs a pump and injectors though. It runs out of fuel up top and gets lean. Figure it'll make over 400rwhp with the upgraded fuel stuff.

Hey guys. I'm looking for 4 channel backing plates for an LS1 axle. I need some to send to strange to install on my axle. I have reluctor rings. I found a set of LT1 plates but the brakes are smaller on the LT1 axle.

I'd be happy to buy a set, or swap you my set back as soon as my strange axle arrived. I just don't want to tear down my running rear to send off parts. Strange is saying a 4-6 week turn around and my car is moving fine just makes noise.

I am located in Tuscumbia, Muscle Shoals area.

Thanks guys.

We sold everything bought another then sold that all to lol. Wish I had it when I started my swap but already had a 5.3 in my car. I think 01modlessz still has one of the 6.0 shortblocks i sold him he may sell and I have the 317 heads and a few electronics from the motor
