makng 500 hp for 2k

[mrsleeve]

Easier thing is just swap in an LS1 or 2 and call it a day, They can be had for 800-1000 these days

this is what I was going to say ;)

I'm still waiting for the location on these sub-$1k LS1s.

[ACHTUNG]

I'm still waiting for the location on these sub-$1k LS1s.

seriously.

[LJ851]

Me too, i need one for my Scout.

[Kershaw]

i think i dropped $2k for 20whp in my rx8. so.. good luck. even with a piston engine, $2k will only take you so far with a sohc straight 6. haha... -_- need an ls1 swap for that car.....

shit, if i knew $2k would take me to a reliable 300whp in my e30 i'd spend the money tomorrow.

Come to Ky- everything here is a chevy- EVERYTHING!! Ls's everywhere in junkyards, no e30's- Anyone wanna trade homes/location? Lol

Josh... No way is 2k going to get u 500, and not safely- I sold my ms1e for 150$, I'd be sooooooo nervous having 500hp thro a lil 12x12 map unless, you are just gonna run it wot down a strip and not drive it- 12x12 bloaaawsssss when it comes to "smoothness" in drivability- But... Like everyone said, v8's make power cheaper- it's called naawwwss!! Lmao!!!

But seriously, I'll sell ya a haltech, twinscroll mani, and oh wait- that's already over 2k (retail) actually closer to 3k lol :P Take ur time searching for deals.... I got my haltech, two tials, a gt35, and a twinscroll Mani for under 1800$ :D yanked a trans and reinstalled it for the GT35, sometimes you can get nice things for a lil bit of labor and freeee dollas homie!!

Come out here, I'll hook ya up whatever sbc you want- As long as it's a sbc

sub $1k LS1..........? More like LT1.... My ass.

[e30orDie]

We talking full motors or just blocks and heads??? Why buy a motor together??? If u want hp, you want to go thro the engine... You can get a aluminum block for under 1k, go to a junk yard, yank some heads- I mean.... Lol no one here has much money, junk yards will let ya run out with whatever prett much. There's just no fucking bimmers >_<

[Brandon12V]

honestly, if I was going that route, I would just hit up Summit for a 305 crate motor.

Edit: and if I was going that route, I'd be spending a little more than 2k, lol.

[e30orDie]

Haha no shit right? Hp is an addiction- ur never satisfied-

Carls machine shop, here in Calvert city Ky- 2 mi from my work, my friend is married to the owners daughter who does the best head jobs :) hehe

A girl races this boat- ashley ruf- 1400hp and isn't sweating- this is where I and my friend assembled my motor- you wouldn't believe how many blocks and heads are laying around here- small and big.










2 speed air trans, 140mph in 1st iirc- all controlled by msd- Just put one of these in yo derry30 :D

[slammin.e28]

I wanna see it start with the tennis balls in the pipe. How far would they go?

[Brandon12V]

Lee, you come across some crazy shit.

He's not lying Chevy V8 are littering many junkyards in areas across the southeast. A few weeks I saw 2 Hispanic gentlemen wheeling an what I thought was LS1 motor out of the local pick and pull, cost them a little over $300 with accessories. My buddy who's a chevy nut corrected me though, it was an LM7 the 5.3L from a 2004 Silverado so it was ONLY 300ish HP in stock form. But LSs from later f-bodies cost the exact same at that yard, they just sell faster.

[e30orDie]

Hehehe- we just built a 3 cylinder 2stroke Saab mote that we bored the shit out of, and made a custom intake for a side drafts- :P

I love the machine shop, I go there everyday before and after work-

The Saab-


I need to get ahold of dude and get some new photos of the intake we made.

Here we are working on te boat-

Mike my buddy the machinist-
