time for some detailing in the engine bay

stay tuned its about to get good!!!!

Re: which one would you build?
 

What kind of power numbers are you expecting ? did you have the tranny specially built ?

Re: which one would you build?
 

the tranny is a th400 shift kit extra capacity pan corvette servo 1800-2200 stall should hold up fine, the motor is projected to produce 450 hp and 525 tq

Re: which one would you build?
 

wow a v6 to big block swap, that's gonna be soooo much different and everything it's gonna be almost scary, you are gonna have too much fun driving it. They'll have to cut the smile off your face man.

I'd a went with the 2 door hoe, but I understand the wifey thing LOL, plus yours might weigh a bit less, and less weight over the back, should make it break loose easier and be alot more fun.

Re: which one would you build?
 

wanna do my truck next? I could use some more HP and TQ...

Re: which one would you build?
 

LOL yea mine too, if you buy the parts(motor, etc.) I'll bring it to ya and even do all the work lol, or you buy the parts and send em my way or bring em to me and I'll put em in myself and save ya the trouble lol.

Re: which one would you build?
 

yeah it should turn out to be a good little cruiser, more pics to come Ive been working on the engine bay all day, maybe motor will see the engine bay by thursday, I will start posting picks in a few days when iive made more progress, thanks for the support!!!

Re: which one would you build?
 

I would have chose the Tahoe as well to start with....but the truck is going to go like a bat outta hell with that motor!

Subscribed and waiting to see what you do with the engine bay!

Re: which one would you build?
