I put it on hold until after the winter... didn't feel like spending $300 a month to insure something I wasn't driving. Bought a V1 Vortech (t-trim), walbro 255 pump and then stopped there. Planned on buying a water kit this week but I'm busy with work and think it's just going to all have to wait til after the winter. I can't leave it motor-less in the driveway when the snow arrives.

In all honesty, it's not my number one priority. It's my summer cruiser and summer is just about over. Debating on burning some money on another toy instead.

Found an 8.1 Vortec motor with the harness on ebay for a fair price (been eyeballing it and debating if it's worth me attempting to tackle splicing harnesses -- which I have never done, my buddy also is willing to get rid of a 88-98 half ton 6" lift pretty cheap. Coincidentally I have a Z71 that would love the attention and be drivable in all weather.


After the winter I will resume the project. Just going to pull it all apart, check the bottom end, bearings, and cylinder walls. Heads will be going to LE, will be having a cam ground by him as well, and running forged pistons/rods with 6-7 PSI. Plus my mom would kill me if she found out how much money I've already invested in the car lol. (In two-three months I've spent well over $3,000).
