Mmm Maybe....

 

Post the pictures. You may live up to your name and be the king....

 

lol matt has to post em.....

 

Didn't your buddy send them to you?

 

Wait, what did I say at the start of this thread??

 

I'll eat my words. You were right dude. Good call.

 

Like I said, I've done it before. I know what it looks like

I don't wanna say that its a good thing, but i've learned a **** load about these cars by trial and error...

I have this sitting in the garage as well if you can't find a block. It has a couple smoked pistons in it (too much nitrous on a stage tune), but block should be solid. Gonna pull it apart next week and survey the damage

 

mine definitely don't have a hole in the block. thank god.

 

Yeah, yours was the regular garden variety LSJ blow-up, nothing major.

Oh, and why did you guys drop the entire front end of the car out just to get at the motor? Thats gonna be a bitch to put back in...

 

Yea I'll post umm up tonight after work. I pretty much just went home and passed the hell out.

The whole subframe and everything is already back in the car. It just ended up being easier at the time to do it that way. Having a lift helped more than anything.

 

It was a million times easier this way. Putting subframe back in the car was stupid easy.

 

No bitch in putting that back in when you have a lift.....

 

damnit i owe joe like 23987324987324,2342370,09238409234, but im not given it, so you fucked the block? curious to see pictures before i give joe like 4 billion dollars ahaha

 

Trust me you could make an over size key chain outta the piece of the sleve and block that are missing. Ya owe the moeny no questions asked haha. Somehow I think that debt may never be paid lol.

 

lemme see the ****** pics matt!! why dont you just send em to my cell??

 

wow well luckly my block made it thru, and your right ill never be able to pay back the debt.. haha

I have been there before man. I blew my motor and I was so sick. I couldnt even look at the car for a year. It just sat. I finally got it all back together, and then sold it 6 months later

 

Pics are in my gallery. Tried to get them in my post but I messed something up.

 

That would take me like 6 years to save up for

 

I've done it like that as well, its not bad, but taking everything in one shot makes it a little hard to line it all back up, and you kinda take out more than you need to. Either way works I guess.

I could probably drop the entire setup like that in about 1.5 hrs now, in the driveway

I dunno why you guys insist on arguing with me. Its not like i'm making this **** up.

C'mon now, like half of that is just upgrade parts, and the TVS alone is $2300...

Just to fix the block (get another one), upgrade pistons, arp studs and HG, less than $1500.

I have a set of used ARP head studs if you wanted, they were only in my engine for about 5K miles. I'd take $80 shipped for them.

 

Pretty nice build list there and I know it's not done yet. That car should be ridiculous when it's done.

 

Joe what did you do with the car btw? I forget what you were gonna replace it with.

 

I haven't replaced anything yet, just driving my beater until I decide what I feel like doing. I want a 350Z with the HR motor, the potential they have is amazing. Nothing is set in stone yet though.

 

Those are badass cars.
