My friend Arthur and me discuss about new swap engine no more turbo

i know sr20 treat me good and never dead on me... sr20 will always in my heart. Hello new LS1 engine

!

all sr20 parts sold made money for ls1 engine

I won bid auction pontiac firebird trans am 150k miles

i picked it up from Sacramento, ca to Los Angeles..
it was running good without 2 cylinder work due spark plug wire ripped. fixed it and running much better then test drove firebird... end up piston and rod fucked up push out of block only 2 miles

accept hard and move on, pull engine out

good news i got L33 aluminum 5.3 long block from CPR engine traded for firebird shell

right now engine in CPR shop build forget bottom to top and CNC port head. i still not sure about camshaft.

Johnphen · 10-08-2012, 04:50 PM

isn't subframe notching a no-no for tech nowadays? I remember having to source another for my ls1 s13. good luck with the build.. looks great.

jo_nathon · 10-08-2012, 04:56 PM

Much respect to you following your dreams
I also have the same dream
Good luck to you man

DamnedButDetermined · 10-08-2012, 05:28 PM

I don't understand why people would think deafness would keep anyone from drifting. Just pay attention to the gauges and everything will be fine. However it would be very difficult for a more experienced drifter to help during a ride along

Keep up the good work and get that car back on the track!

DR.EVIL · 10-08-2012, 05:35 PM

good luck meng!!! do what makes you happy!!!\

GREAT WORK

Pinggg · 10-08-2012, 07:22 PM

Johnny_K · 10-18-2012, 05:51 AM

Good stuff and good luck with the build.

And notching the cross member isn't allowed per fd rules. I would get a rule book and read it a couple of times before you get any further in your build. If not you might have to do a lot of rework. Which cost time and money.

PIN GIO 2 · 10-18-2012, 02:37 PM

No way, look like I have to look new subframe and modification gto oil pan or sikky oil pan.

PIN GIO 2 · 10-18-2012, 11:30 PM
