S54
I had thought about it some time ago (like 2 months ago), because one local tuner sold his old race car with full s54 swap, or more correct would be an s54 swap sorunded by garbage he wanted for whole car 6,5k V$, i went back then after it thinking that the shell isnt that bad, but it was full of rust putty and makroflex. Tried to get it under 5,5V$ but it was way too low for him, noone really wanted it since how big of a turd the car it self was for the price. Now yesterday i get a call saying that he will give me it for 5kV$ but only if i pick it up with a tow truck in 2 hours. No time to waste, called a friend had a trailer and we drowe after it. Well the shell looked even worse, the seat was broken out of rails, and the only thing holding floor together was carpet, but that dint really matter since the engine alone costs somwhere around that price, and you have to find it, witch would be impossible here.

So here it is, dosent seem that bad from the outside, but everywhere you remove or look behind is rust, putty and makroflex.

Remowed intake manifold for more space.

And here the beast realesed from the shit box. Remowed gear box to take it to diagnostics to see if im not fucked. Also the engine mounts made me trow abit up, the fab work on this is just discusting.
P.s. anything on the blueshit box is for sale, check classfields.
