1969honda Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Loving the look of the black manifold! One of these days I'm down in the SLC area I'm going to have to take a look at this monster. Nice build and please keep the pics coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB26powered74zcar Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Looks great Clint! Once you removed all the RB items you were not going to use for the LS swap, how much you figure you had to spend to get it to where your at now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 I got pretty luck in that the guy that bought it from me was the original owner that I bought it from. It was nearly turnkey when I sold it and included, engine, exhaust man no turbo or wastegate, intake no injectors, powerglide, torque converter aem series 2 with harness. I bought my truck Motor for 400 bucks, put a cam, oil pump, rocker trunnions, pushrods, intake on the motor, bought aem infinity, wire harness, new turbo, put anti roll in my rear suspension, installed parachute (still needs chute), comlp0etely built hot side and cold side piping and who knows what else. Still need converter, and chute and maybe 500 in fittings and hose and once that's done I will have broken even in the whole thing. I could have saved some money if I just run the stock motor but I wanted it to last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Sorry I didn't word the question correctly. I was wondering what just the V8 and related stuff ran. Nothing RB related. PM me if you'd rather. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Hope to be the last time for a while with an empty engine bay. Going to scotch bright it and recoat with POR15 tomorrow. Then motor back in after I get the oil drain bung welded in the pan, hopefully for the last time for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Motor and trans in for last fit checks and plumbing. engine bay painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Pretty stoked. Weighed the z today and it came in at 2650 with me in it. That's exactly what it weighed wet with me in it last year. Once it's got fluids should be right around 2700. Thats with all steel and glass. I may go back to fiberglass hood and go with lexan rear window.
