Build Thread

[x_doug_x]

guys, try to keep this one clean please? thanks. much appreciated.


i bought a used LS crank+rods+pistons off craigsilst for 150 bucks. brought the ls rods and usdm type r pistons to machine shop to have the machine shop flycut the rods to fit inside the usdm type r pistons. The factory oil squirters in the gsr block just needed bent down a hair so they would be between the pistons and counter weights.

arp rod bolts, no the ls assembly was not balanced.


here you can see i installed arp head studs, i also installed arp rod bolts.




i had bought a edelbrock jg intake manifold, that was before i realised that would be overkill for this build so i put it up on craigslist and traded it for a skunk2 pro.


i'd put the motor together but then fryed a clutch pulled the tranny and put these on.





decided to install rear disc brakes




installed new door speakers and deck speakers, only have pictures of the front 6.5 inch speakers with modified speaker adapters.



then i decided i wanted some spray. so that was next i'd already had the selenoids+lines here for a few months i picked up for 50 bucks, now all i needed was a bottle. so i picked one up from a buddy for 50 bucks.
you can also see the rear strt tower bar.






now heres the finished car it also has H&R race lowering springs.
