Nice looking motor. Dont know much about intake measurments and flows and whatnot, but it looks like its gonna go pretty fast. Had a neigbor once who used to build race boat motors. He told me this when I was teenager, and its so true.. Going fast all depends on how much money you want to spend. He'd build these motors that had 2000+ horsepower and it only had to hold together for 1 race... sheesh..

Nice, I was naming the stuff before you even made the next post. ;)

Good to see someone putting "new" stuff on the "old" motor. Looks like you did some research.

mhmm. some people love cars.... i love cars to the point of science. i should be making around ~390-400rwhp and still get 25ish or more miles to the gallon

Nice engine there bud. I can't say I have worked on too many 3rd gens with an LSX engine swap. That will be a sleeper for sure.

I just got into F-bodys myself last year with my 02 WS6. I've always been a Mopar guy. I hope to have some parts made though here soon for them.

One concern though, please tell me that beautiful engine doesn't sleep outside under that tarp! Give it a warm dry place to sleep and put some oil in the cylinders and spark plugs so she don't seize.
