oh this thread is done, jack away.

and a lot hahaha. i never really totaled it out because it hurts. but in the 7k range.

but really, if you do a 25 swap, plus turbo/standalone/add'ons then stuff like clutch, oil pump, etc its about the same amount of money.

but i have no lag, no overheating and i can walk into autozone and rebuild the damn thing mwhahaha

there are a few places that make mount kits, but i made my own

ls1 fd's are awesome. i love that combo. theres bolt in kits for that one haha

motor puts down 370/355, over 330wtq at 1700rpm hehe

no plans for FI, no reason. if i ever need more ill just slap on a set of heads or do a 408 stroker and knock on the door of 500whp, NA. mike's car makes about 400whp.
