Look at the pile of parts, all forged. Lq4 is nice but adds another 100 lbs, on top of 150 lbs of turbo parts and then another 65 for a 6 point bar is just not worth it. Ls1 blocks when dive right woo run at 1000 hp. Even tho my trans is built that's the limiting factor. It is built to handle 800 hp

 

That thing's like brand new with 22.5k on it . . . nice score.

It'll be giving your zx10r a run for it's money

 

That's the plan lol. I am going to sell the bike this spring also

 

So a little update. Car is 99 percent done. Would have been started but found out the radiator had a hole so ordered a DeWitts for it. Looking to potentially start on Sunday. I will post some pics then, and if all goes well a video.

 

Hahaha so true.

Nice ride miller bet its gonna be wicked!

 

Oh this I gotta see

 

Subd

 

Start up didn't happen, I did not receive the fittings to adapt an line to the trans cooler. I got a couple days of work coming up and then back at it, so how about a few pics of the progress. Engine bay is not the prettiest but it will get the job done.

 

 

Shitty little phone video, now just got the few little things left to do.

She sure sounds nice!

 

Nice vette man

 

Nice man! I didn't see this until now, but that's pretty awesome. Always have loved the C5's, and turbo LS is another one of my favorite things, so this is just win lol

 

Thanks guys, took it for its maiden voyage today, car runs good, obviously tuning issues to work through. Also have a small coolant leak on the front steam vents now vs the rear, so that needs fixed.

 

And twin turbos are nice, but twin hks ssq bov's are really loud haha.

 

I think your boosted lsx is going to be faster than mine lol

 

Even tho its built its still a 4l60 trans, so it will only last so long. But I just checked out your thread, its going to be a nice ride.

 

Thanks man, my uncle use to have a ls7 2000 Corvette FRC with heads, cam, phafts headers, xspower exhaust ( made 580whp on a mustang dyno ) , anyhow, i bet once you put some miles on your vette, you are going to love it! Nothing like a Vette.

 

Few shots of the car, little dirty now after driving it, paint came out really good for as bad as it was.

 

Damn it looks great. How'd you get the paint to look so nice? What products did you use?

 

very nice job.

 

I have a variety of things I do, one was the entire car was wet sanded, then polished out with a variety of products, ammo products, maguiars products, pc 7424 and a rupes. multiple different pads, sealer, and some good carnauba wax as a finish. Just depends on how hard/soft the finish is.

Update about the car, car is running well, looking at dyno date within 10 days.

 

Awesome build. Any full under hood shots?

 

Heres a couple




And the suns out and shinning again today so I wiped her down and took a few more paint shots. No swirls here

 

Beautiful paint. I need to learn your tricks.
