Default New build

Taken the first few big steps in our 84 Monte Carlo LSX project. Last week I picked up the TH400 core we're going to build to go behind the beast of a motor we just picked up, and last night we pulled the old 305 out.

418CI L92 complete motor. Came with everything from intake to oil pan with an electric water pump, tuned computer, and LS2 conversion harness for sensors and injectors.

Eagle 4" crank
Scat H-beams
Diamond 4.080 -4cc flat tops
PRC CNC ported L92 heads on a Cometic .040 gasket
Custom Comp 251/259 660/663 110 lsa
Ported L92 intake
PTM 90mm TB
LS6 ported oil pump
LS2 timing setup
Powerbond U/D pulley
Meziere Elec. water pump

This will be a street car with minimal weight reduction (back seats, carpet padding, etc.) This motor with the 200 shot we're putting on top of it should be a wild ride.

Interior is coming out tomorrow. Everything is getting switched over to a black interior and the roll cage is going in while everything's out. The next step after that is to start the body work.

NP, 99zee. Let me know when you're ready to do the truck.
