Doing a new build
Well i am doing a new and crazy build.
this build will drain every cent of money i have for the next little bit, i am doing a new motor and adding a 150 shot to it.
but the reason why i am putting this post up is to see if anyone knows if the Corvette 403 HP ECU will work in our cars? or will i have to re wire everything on the inside. i know with under the hood it will need the wiring but what about on the inside?

i was gonna buy one of the 1st TC to come here to canada but at that time my car had way to much into it to bother, i was gonna boost this car and give it to my gf but she got a teg now, and my buddy just went to alberta to work and told me hes not gonna sell it no more.
so my brother and i got talking and he has one of these blocks laying around the house and said wouldnt it be crazy to build this and slap it in your car? i agreed so thats what we are doing.
my brother spent 1000 building his motor he has and before he put his blower on it and his dual 6" exhaust he was putting 450whp.
with mine we are going a few other things to it and hoping for a little bigger numbers.
also the interior will be coming out and a roll cage being installed but keeping it so i can put the interior back in and keep it looking stock

6 inch exhaust
and he only spent a 1000 building the motor?
so what he got pistons, rods, head studs, a valve springs (i think thats what there called)
i dont think thats even a full build, and why on EARTH would he need a 6 inch exhaust...i think it would make way more sense to just run a cut out.
6 inch exhaust is used on fricken semis
jesus...everyone beat me lol

And $1,000 to "build" his motor? Yeah, build it out of Legos maybe.
This thread is fail.
