Not hating, just ******* with ya. I understand all your excuses. BTW your car weight 2470? That is Lighter that mikes striped out base model. I don't think that is right? GGPP has a BRAND NEW CRATE LS7 for 12 grand. 520 HP with a warr. I think it will be FASTER that 12's if you have a decent tire in the rear. You going with a T2 rear diff?

The car is 2470 with 1/2 tank and no spare or any of that stuff in the rear but with the sound system and all other engine fluids. I recently took out the entire sound system, completely took out the tar and primered it and put a coat of gloss white over it just so it would look ok. I still have a bunch of support bars I *could* remove but I chose not to.

I'll probably just get any 99+ ls1 motor to keep this swap as cheap as possible, like i said, its going to cost me about 3000 bucks after selling off all my parts, its just gonna be a bone stock motor with headers down the road nothing else. 1/4 mile doesnt mean to much to me, its just a quick show of what it can do in bone stock form. TII rear end- yes. btw buy some of my stuff

My true Opinion is FC are a dime a dozen, so rock on brother! I will have to come out to check out the progress in the future. BTW I am deep in debt. The great thing about the ls motors is the huge amount of aftermarket parts out there. Have you found a motor yet?
