April 27, 201411 yr I'd swap in the bigger six and go.While I love Bavarian power plants, it isn't the right solution.
April 27, 201411 yr Chassis dynamics, NVH, fit & finish are what is important. Powertrain I want cheap. For fuck sake I drive a crappin' Cadillac.
April 27, 201411 yr I did order a drop kit for it Thursday Tried to order a brake kit. Found the 16, 14.25 Wilwood's used for $2500. Needs a rebuilt caliper, so I am waiting on rotor measurements. Super trust worthy seller though. If that doesn't fly, $3800 worth of brakes will be coming my way within a week.
April 27, 201411 yr Thinking a KB Racing Turbo setup at the moment. Which block I buy is yet to be decided.
April 27, 201411 yr $8000 buys a 2000hp ready block. Sort of gives me a safety factor if I am only pulling 8-900.
April 27, 201411 yr Speaking of, thinking of scrapping the Android h/u for windows. Probably going to run EFI Live and headunit tuning of the car is pretty wicked.

April 27, 201411 yr Not seeing any other way to really do what I want. Fuckbyou power and daily sensibility only come one way
April 27, 201411 yr So once you get it done in 6 months are you going back to GM to give the keys to the engineers and tell them that is how you should have built it in the first place?
April 27, 201411 yr 11hr day on a Saturday, awesome. Did pick up 2x 4packs of local beer spint for tonight though.
April 27, 201411 yr Looks to be around 65-70hrs this week, lots better than the 80 the other week. The W still is grumpy though.
April 27, 201411 yr Fuck you barometric pressure.FUCK YOU! The ole joints acting up on you? The W has the built in weather meter too.
April 27, 201411 yr I am REALLY drawn to this, minus about half the money. http://fortwayne.craigslist.org/cto/4436541126.htmlSeriously, Go buy it. Spend $2k on a conversion kit, $1200 on an LS motor from your pops, and have a shit kickin', cheap to insure, safe, reliable, comfortable, and super sporty rig to haul Jr. around in. Can't really think of a better solution for you. Snows on that in the winter will make you UBER happy. Very predictable chassis. Everything outside of powertrain is cheap. While I am a fan of the LS engines, I am already sick of them being used in everything. If I'm going to bastardize it, I'll do it with Blue Oval power. My truck should be done here within the month, so I no longer have to worry about driving my cars in the snow. As beat up as the interior is in that thing, it's only worthy of being driven in the winter, and there's no way in hell I'm spending anything on the interior. Fucking Ford and their peanut butter tan.
April 27, 201411 yr Fuck you barometric pressure.FUCK YOU!The ole joints acting up on you? The W has the built in weather meter too. My right thumb is ~15% wider than my left, and through my pants you can see my right knee looks like a puffy cantaloupe.Feet never sweat in my Allen Edmonds, and they were so snug today my wool socks were damp.
April 27, 201411 yr I was just joking. I think it still works.I just have no interest when I'm in pain.
April 27, 201411 yr I do love my wool socks, ever since getting them I hardly wear cotton ones anymore.
April 27, 201411 yr I was just joking. I think it still works.I just have no interest when I'm in pain. The W is that way too.
April 27, 201411 yr I do love my wool socks, ever since getting them I hardly wear cotton ones anymore.What wools do you buy. I got a pair of darn tough socks that I absolutely love bit at $12 a pair its steep.
