lol i had to back up to remind myself what was going on here.

HOLY CRAP again lol

 

I know... it makes me want to puke when I go out in the garage and look at my engine.

 

Thanks guys. It's actually a pretty easy swap with the right parts. I just wish I could move on to the next step of mods...

I sold my chopper, so it's modding time AGAIN!! I've already bought the new wheels/tires and air ride setup. Going with Rushforths Livewires with smoked titanium center sections and polished dishes (20x10's in the rear and 19x8's in the front). Also the top of the line air ride setup. Rushforth gave me an AWESOME deal with 10% off. I was stoked!! I'll be ordering a new strange 12 bolt rear and my brake setup next week. Going with the Baer Pro Extreme setup with 14" rotors and 6 piston calipers up front and their track plus system in the rear with 13" rotors. After all this, the car will be done except for the body work and paint (to be tackled after these bills are paid). Oh, and to top it all off, my power window and power locks kit arrives tomorrow, as I determined I can no longer live without power windows and locks.

Well, it's been a while since I posted any updates as I've been enjoying the local cruises/car shows with the car. The new boat load of parts arrived over the past few days. This includes the air ride street challenge kit, wheels (20x10's and 19x8.5's), baer brakes, strange dana 60 rear end. I'm in the middle of installing. I have the rear air ride and rear end pretty much done. About to shift to the front end. The tires will get mounted on the wheels tomorrow. Here are some pics :

The rear wheels on the car. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE!!

Wow very cool! Looks like it will be one heck of a ride when you're done.

 

Just got the car down on all four!!!! I about shat myself when I stepped back and took a look at it. Here are a couple pics. Tomorrow I'm hooking up the electrical for the air ride so I can get the bags up.

So I finally got the new 4L80E trans working (TCI sent the wrong software with the TCI controller which caused me to pull my hair out for 3 days)... Got an alignment yesterday. Car's running really well now. So what's next???? I don't have the money to start the body work/paint. And I'm running out of odds-n-ends. What a dilema. Cruises only happen on weekends and I have this week off. Here are a couple more pics of it in the driveway yesterday.

What kinda horsepower that thing cranking out?

 

Not sure of exact numbers. It's a stock LS3 with the GM hot cam and a set of headers. So it should be around 450 since the stock LS3 is 436.
