Heres the truck...





The exhaust has fallen and is resting on the rear axle xD



Here's the little engine



I picked up the Impreza. It's actually a 2001 and it's in better condition then I thought, but I have to do something about those horrible wheels. thinking 17 inch rims with winter tires... (Actually basing the car off of one I see every morning waiting for the school bus. I'll try to snag a pic of it)



Gotta do something about that tiny exhaust pipe too.



And the EJ25

Schweet, I managed to find a used Duramax LLY for $700. Gonna take the Silverado, and go pick it up! The engine redlines at only 3200 rpm, but at 1000 rpm its making 520 lb ft of torque and 310 hp.

Added 1 hour 15 minutes later:

On the way back to the shop, the rear suspension completely collapsed, which scared the shit out of me. I thought something worse had happened. I picked up the Duramax, and realized that I was right next to a tire store, so I picked up some wheels for the Subaru. They look SWEET on it. I also picked up a new exhaust system for the Chevy because the single pipe would not cut it for that 7 liter diesel.





The truck was nearly too tall to fit in the garage!



I went back out in the Subaru before I fitted the wheels to pick up some shocks and springs for the Silverado. The entire way home in the Chevy, I had to listen to the exhaust pipe clinking on the ground. I shredded the Subaru's tires launching from a red light. That things QUICK. I got back, and installed the shocks before I dropped the 700 lb engine into the truck. I had to either rehang the rear bumper or remove it to put the new exhaust onto the truck. I couldn't afford anything chrome, or even shiny, but at least it sounds better then it did... I also took those ugly side steps off. I'm gonna wait to take care of the rust for now, its not TOO bad... The battery died when I tried to start the engine, so I grabbed another from the back of the shop

Also picked up an exhaust tip for the Subi. I want to get dual pipes, or even shortpipes because after the snow has passed, I want to make this a track car. Also, good news of swapping out the Chevy, it's 4wd! Just needs much better tires to handle the power! The wheels are Rotiform TMB Concave. 17".





I'm back on Valolist looking for something CHEAP that I can turn into a missile.

Added 54 minutes later:

I managed to locate a 1994 Porsche 944 Turbo in moderate condition for 2 grand. I asked the guy to put the car on hold till I get the money.
