Eric...You were at the MSAs and didn't stop and say "hello"!!!! The shame!! :malebitchslap: :malebitchslap: :malebitchslap:

You obviously do too!

LT1 mounts just like the older generation SBCs. LS1 is completely different. For specifics, click on the search button at the top of the page and search for LS1 mounts in the Chevy forum. Tim

Mat, There is a list of parts below that statement...I believe he is referring to those parts having less than 1k miles

Aren't all the 'chicks' in the Pacific Northwest single mothers anyways....make it look like a "Hot Wheels" car and the kids will dig it, then you will be 'in' with Mama!!

Eric...yes I love the car...it is very well done and very "Cool"...but the wheels HAVE to GO!!! In both style and size....terrible and it completely overwhelms the car and wrecks some very beautiful asthetics!!! Tim

Anywhere from $2000.00 to $50,000.00.........

this from the guy who bought ON3GO's ranger engine... THE SECRET IS OUT!!!!!!! Dude!! You need to replant your 'grapevine'

Although it was nicely done....It somehow looks crosseyed....and for $14k!!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2475887165&indexURL=2&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting

Chicks like shiny, clean looking stuff. Here in LA, unless you're driving a Lexus, Mercedes, Porsche, Lambo, Ferrari, etc....you won't even get a second look, no matter how good teh car looks, or how customized it is....unless of course you can put a donkey to shame Tim

Pretty nice except for the absolutely gawdy wheels..dub dub...bling bling... Otherwise very nice!!

Ya....cash talks man.....I wouldn't care who the buyer was....if they got da cash!!

Or sell it to me!!

I'll leave the configuration of your anatomy up to you....but use the search function (look near the top of the page).....all your questions will have answers there..... BTW....Welcome Tim

Mark...double check your profile settings...that's about all I can think could be wrong.... Tim

Do yourself a huge favor and educate yourself a little bit...get a book.....it will give you a better understanding of what you're doing, and you will be better off for it!

Hmmmm...I think that before you do anything else, you should get a couple of books on rebuilding SBC engines. Your questions are not very lucid. Look in the Summit Racing catalogue and there are some good ones, esp. the one by the late John Lingenfelter. But, in answer to your questions, the bore size has next to nothing to do with the crank shaft. 2nd, inorder for the machine shop to bore your block, they will need the pistons, so you will have to buy those first. I would suggest that you remove everything from the block, and take the block and the crank to the shop. Ask them to inspect and measure the crank to see if it needs to be cut, or if a polish on the journals will suffice. Also ask them to measure and inspect the bores. They may need to bore it to the next oversize, in which case they can tell you which size pistons to buy, or they may be able to just clean it up with a hone job....and then tell you which pistons to buy. Take the rods in too, and ask them to shot peen and magnaflux them, or just buy some new ones.....stock replacementr rods are cheap..... Also, ask them to remove and replace the cam bearings... Tim

Go for it....

I saw at least three of them at the MSA show last weekend....

It allows you to push the motor back a little more....not absolutely necessary...

Even if you buy a beater for say $500: Figure on about $100 in oil change and filters, hoses etc Registration and title: ~$100 Insurance on an extra car: ~$500 Maybe other maintenance items, like tires, brakes, etc So you're looking at another $1500 or so. You could put that into your Z and have just about everything sorted out..... Tim

Personally, I wouldn't touch it. Maybe (and only maybe) if it was free. As you said, you really want a first gen. Wait and get what you really want, otherwise you'll never be happy! For the amount of work that that car needs, I would rather be putting my efforts into a S30...... Just my 2c worth
