w00t.. found new ls1 blocks
 

I just found a source to buy new LS1 blocks at a very reasonable price... (new bare 2004 blocks, which are the LS6 blocks).
now i can rebuild my "original" SS motor from the parts i have laying around.

Now, the questions is...what car to stick it in.... :twisted:

duh.. mine 8)

most definately the Accord :lol:

matt, no, lol

kasey, hmm didnt know i had an accord...

I do have the 85 iroc and the 79 vette... but the iroc will remain a T5 car so thats out... hmm, a carbed ls1 in the 79 vette, that would be sweet... but then what would i do with the 96 LT1(6,609 org. miles) thats in it currently...

theirs only one option!

My car
my car
MY CAR
matts car

wait...

if you wanna do it injected i have a computer and wiring harness here from a 99.

keep the lt1 in the vette and find a new project. maybe like a first gen :)

i wish but 1st gens are out of my reach, way too much for even a rotted shell.

as of now, i'll just build the longblock with remaining parts from my '01 motor(lifters, rockers, heads, crankshaft, pistons), then throw in some LS6 parts i also have(camshaft, valvesprings, pushrods, oil pump), All i'd still need to buy are gaskets, rings and bearings. As for rods, i have a set from a '00 ls1 i could use, and brand new '03 rodbolts.

As for carb vs fuel injection, i have a 00 LS1 intake, fuelrail, and harness, so all id need would be an ecm and a TB. And in the future i may get a 90/90 for my SS and then i'd swap my LS6 and ported tb to this motor, IF i went Fuel Inj. Id consider carb'd just to be different.

But, like i said, i'll just put the longblock together for now and figure out fuel delivery whenever i have a definate home for the motor, and this one would get sprayed for sure, hehe.


EDIT****....hmmm... i wonder what a 2wd lowered 95 bronco with a LS1 on NOS would be like... I got some measurememnts to make....

i coulda sworn your parents did lol

throw it in the minivan

they guy we rent out the upstairs apt to has a 4door accord
neg. on the minivan
right now, i'm REALLY considering the bronco...

it'd be a waste in that heavy ass thing

thats IF it was fully intact... after the fire a lot has already came out...
it weighs less than a basic pickup, and with the ls1 in it and a th350, take off a bunch more weight i.e. rear seat/hardtop, no electronics or a/c... and i think even given its size.. with an ls1 with the ls6 cam, full exhaust and a 125 shot of N2O, i bet itd still move enough to give most people a hell of a run. AND who would expect it with stock exterior and wheels.

this comes from teh biggest weight reduction hater of all time :lol:

i have a stock throttle body

how much would u want for that?

It would go well in a nice 2nd gen...

but jeff allready has a nice motor :-P

Cool!

Funny...

No, get his own. Then do something like this:

Cool!

Indeed.
