Guest NESS89 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Not to "nit pick" but I didn't know Chevy made such a small engine. OH WAIT, the engine size is supposed to be 378 "CI" (cubic inches), or 6000 "CC" (cubic centimeters), right? Yup its suppose to say 378CC, kind of hard to see in the pics but in person you can read it better, chevy should make a small engine like that that cam push 400+ hp.

kidistight Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Just because its a 6.2 out of a corvette, and because i got it brand new for $3200. couldnt let that deal pass. That sounds like a good, how about I give you the finger and you give me my one phone call. j/K Watching a little to much Matrix. That is a GREAT deal for what I am seeing them priced at new, let me know if that deal falls in your lap again. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NESS89 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Almost done, just need the exhaust and some last minute wiring, then Ill put the hood and front bumper back on and drive this beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maichor Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Why wait? A couple of zip ties and you are ready to roll! I still have an orange juice jug as my radiator overflow tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NESS89 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Why wait? A couple of zip ties and you are ready to roll! I still have an orange juice jug as my radiator overflow tank. Lol I actually already drove it but because it doesn't have the exhaust the O2 sensors were being retarded and giving it to much fuel so it didn't run right. On my nova I have a mt dew bottle as my overflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NESS89 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Alright, the beast is back. Finnaly the exhaust is done, wiring is 95% done and it runs like a straight monster. Besides driving the car with the brakes locked up and not even knowing, (still chirping fourth) no problem getting her home from the shop. Now i just have to figure out my Tach and Speedo, all other gauges work perfect. Heres some teaser pics in my garage.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NESS89 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Thanks guys! Still battling the brake issue, havnt figured out why my brakes keep locking up. Since I dont have school this week im planning on working on the brakes and do some wire-looming. More picks to come. Oh and if i fix the brake issue I will drive her on Sat.

Guest NESS89 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Alright so its been a while since i updated the status on my build so ill post up some new pics. Drove the car for like two months, enjoying the power the motor makes. Then I parked it in my garage to do the suspension and decided to just tear the whole drivetrain out of it. We pulled the exhaust out, the diff, all the mounts, sway bars, brakes and suspension. I welded up the Ground control coilovers and painted them all up. And today was my early christmas, received the Arizona Z brakes kit, six piston calipers and slotted drilled rotors. Ready for buisness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
