I always dreamed of doing an LS6 swap in my blazer.

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

Pics of the Vette I owned for few weeks last year. lol Only had 30k on the odometer.

NOT my house...Would never be that trashed looking if mine.^^^

Was fun to drive, not so fun getting in and out.

Super charger still doing ok? I thought of doing a 5.3 in that blazer last year the 4.3 went haywire..I had a good 4.3 with low mileage so I just did a simple swap..it was out of a 2002 sonoma..only thing I had to do was tap out so I could use a one wire nock sensor..If and when this 4.3 goes to shit I will do a v8 swap..Maybe just a basic carborated 350..it shouldnt be that hard to do a v8 vortec swap though I think all really involved is radiator relocation and adding a couple wires for the 2 xtra spider poppets idk

Haven't popped the motor yet, lol

You should see me in a Lotus Elise, lol

Have to stop a block ahead of a sstoplight so I can see it

I'm sure Seth could help me out more, but I would say the only American engines worth FI are the v8s.  I know he made a nasty boosted 6.  And there are plenty of German and Japanese 6s that hum harder than a whore who works for tips, but to the US engine designers they feel like an afterthought or only to be used as part of a specific, non changeable FI system. Like the new Ford GT or their new turbo 4s.

A '72 dually my sister-in-law is building. With a Cummin's being swapped in.

I'm not claustrophobic by any means.  But I get an uneasy feeling when my head is near or touching a headliner, so I feel you.

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

Fun looking car to drive btw!

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

You talking about hippies Matt, made me think of my bus days. Said I would post a pic some day. lol

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

Off to the freezing garage to install tweeters... Thinking i need to go buy a Mr.heater today.

Actually all modern motors will take boost rather easily.  The Ecoboost takes more really well.  The new 4s that both GM & Ford have are also on par or even ahead of the Germans in many ways.  If they would just now make their interiors on par I could be rid of the German expense.

*shopping for Porsche Cayenne's on my other monitor*

[///M5 2,833]

The old stuff not nearly as well.  Anything already boosted helps as the factory normally errs on the side of overbuilt.

[///M5 2,833]

Enough that the Vsport with just a few small mods nearly keeps up with the CTS-V.  FI is a replacement for displacement.

one in the pink...

Depending on the next month may buy a new/ one owner Focus for the wife.   New enough to not have the old dual clutch transmission.   

[topgun 262]

Need to go drive other options though

I can only get so erect.

 

Keep them cumming.  I want to die of priapism.

Did I not say that?  Only modern less than 8 cyls are ok.  

 

But... you know me, I want boost on boost for no reason.  Haven't seen a 4 turbo 6 yet.

Did I tell you all the roommate traded in his focus ST for an RS.

Got hit in the door. Week after he got it.  Been waiting a couple months for. New one now. Poor guy.
