silicone boy Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Well, I got my car back from the shop as a shell of its former self. Here's what it looked like before: Unfortunately, the rings never seated right and the engine smoke a lot. It couldn't pass emissions. I took it in to the shop because I didn't have the time to work on it. Then, after seeing how much power my LS7 Mazda make without blowers, I decided to go in a simpler direction. I decided to take it back home. Here it is: It's gonna get one of these: Not that exact engine. That's an LS2 that's going into my Hummer H3 (that's right, I'm putting a Corvette engine in the vehicle with the highest ground clearance of all time-not a great idea, but at this point in my life, I have more money than brain cells). I'll put a 427 LSx in the Z, only with slightly lower compression in case I want to blow it. Stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silicone boy Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 Dude, You can NEVER EVER slam me for buying cars again! That's gonna be a hole lotta rosie when she's done! Mike True enuff. I'm starting to see the wisdom of just buying a Porsche or Z06 and being done with it. I wasn't sure why you went with the store bought fast cars a while back, but building your own can be a PITA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
