Hey everybody I got a new engine

Post by **Queamore** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 2:14 pm

I just got a new LT1 motor I'm gonna put it in the 240. Actually I just got the whole caprice but the caprice is junk. The motor is good. I got it all for 500 bucks. I tell you good things happen to good people. :ylsuper

Aries I know you said not to. But I gotta. Can you help me with all the fabricated stuff I'll need.

If you don't mind I'm probably gonna be calling you for some details eventually.

I'm so happy! :thumbup :fruit :jump :beatfreak

Nah it shouldn't not if you got the know how and proper equipment.

It doesn't take a lot of money necessarily. TIG welding skills and equipment will come in handy. It's really not as much fabrication as you think unless you're gonna go all out with a 500+hp monster.

I think I'm gonna give it till next summer to be done. Depends on how my money is looking. Not on the fabricated stuff. But I want to get the aluminum radiator and electric fans. custom msd ignition, fuel pumps, and other stuff I need to buy. I goint to start tearing them a part next week.

Ok so my Honda friend says that this motor is a dog it'll be slow and there is no point putting it in. He also says it'll never keep up with his Honda.

Hmmmm.

1.6 litres vs. 5.7 litres :thinker

Wonder if Hondageek has ever driven a Vette or an Impala SS?

I think I'm gonna move up the date of complition by a year. Maybe I'll get it done in a month or so.

With some help from Aries of course

A dog, it is not.

I know i drove a 95 corvette and that thing was very fast. The caprice that this motor is coming out of is pretty fast as well right now.
