It was my first time at the drag strip and on the slower run i tapped the rev limiter in 2nd and 3rd opps. On the thrid run i tried to launch instead of just slipping the clutch and just spun through 1st and second.

Decent runs!

I see a 13.7 and a 13.59, both trapping 103.

I can't see the pic currently at work, but I hope it's better than a 13.9

. An aluminum head 5.0 is almost the same weight as an m20!

Not even Close jut a 5.0 not dressed and no trans is about 470-490 and thats not with a big ass intake lile the FI cars have. Add another 75 pounds for the t-5 minus the flywheel and pressure plate. your going to end up around 600 pounds fully dressed.


A crate motor from ford is 545 with the crate. Those shitty crates they come are not that heavy.

I wanted to do that since 3 months after I completed my swap! :hitler:

s52 = not worth the $ IMO.



I feel you man. I see too many deals and I grab stuff impulsively. Got a pair of sparcos, and a sparco strut brace in the past month.

I can't wait to start working full time at the beginning of 2010! :D


As far as the LS1, I'm good on that. I could do the 5.0 swap for the price that I could sell my motor for. ;)

Nice! I got the LS1 at a very good deal so I could not resist it.

But I wanted to do the Boosted M50 NV

I know I have to do the same thing now too. I just cant help and today I got another set of wheels :p. I have an ls1 if you want a 5.6.
