Tear down pictures... Rebuild pictures to come soon :D

Post by 99BlackHatch »

Money is aside already for the LS block that will be redone and built. :biggrin:

Why the LS? Well it has a little bit longer stroke from what I've been told and it's cheaper than buying another GSR. Once that build is done, then the Brian Crower stage 2 turbo cams will be ordered and installed and this car will be done.

I was offered a deal on this head, and I could sell it if needed. But I just figured I'd get ready for future upgrades.

Thats cool man but I wouldnt put it on just yet. I mean why take apart a running car, all you should do is put the fuel pump in and call it a day. Im not trying to sound mean but it just doesnt seem to make sense but gl man.

Well, I'll admit.. after sleeping on it, it is pointless to throw the head on right now and do it all when the new block is ready.

So i'll install the fuel pump today and send it back to LOWE and have him finish it.

lol, thanks guys.


I hope that sig isn't directed towards me Aj, lol

I've also been thinking about this too.. I still look at the hatch in the drive way and I swear flat black looks so fucking sexy to me. I'm driven in that direction again... Is that a bad thing?

lol. No, I don't think so.

I agree... I mean it will be the old black from '99 and then the new black on the front end. So nice new paint along with the old paint with the swirl marks and such.

Not sure that would bleand to nicely... Uniform color is the key idea.

I work in a small hole all day long by myself... there is plenty of time to thing about A LOT of things in a small box all day. lol. This is what I thought about all day today.

:iagree: Do it, then when everything is running good and $ starts to stack up again you can go and get the entire car repainted since it'll already have been primed. That and I don't think I would want to dive a lowered car with a freshly painted front end though a St. Louis winter.
