So, I have been hard at work! The car is now (semi) ready, it has everything but...brakes and...Handling. But it's a gasser, it don't need any of that!

Let's start from the start.


Me and my buddy went to the junkyard and found a wrecked Silverado, we asked the owner and he said he'll take a grand flat for the engine, trans and all the wiring, which was great news.



We got the car at the garage and started ripping out the engine.




Then we called AAA and had it towed back to the junkyard, i'd say that was a pretty good deal!

Over the weekend, the car has been painted in a flat gray, Two Lane Blacktop style.



The engine hooked (almost) right up!




Once the engine was in, we started tearing apart the top end, we got some dope ass parts from my buddy from his dragster that just shot a hole through the block. His ran an LS7 with a supercharger, we have a much less exciting...LM7. Hey, at least it has a seven in the name.




We found out the engine was in absolutely mint condition! The car had low miles before it got rear ended by a 18 wheeler and went through a busy intersection, pretty tragic, but the engine is unscaved!



Painted up the stock headcovers and wrote LSX454 on them cause...I really want one, but can't afford it.



This intake is the sh*t, it looks badass and it gives us bare gains, it looks just right.



We got this dope fibre-glass hood, that fits right for that intake. Ram air can suck my left nut!



We painted the hood up in the same flat gray.



I took it to the local drag strip and had a few passes, with different degrees of success. It hooked beautifully with those slicks! But I had a few times it bogged cause of that way too long geared four speed. This pulled like a freight train! My butt-dyno says it has to be pushing at least 500 horse!

Next up, I want a new tranny' and some BOOST.

But till then, see you about.
