Thanks again,

Jon,

Sounds like you have it all under control. I apologize if I was spewing out too much information there.

I will watch your build with great admiration as it follows......I may use some of your ideas, if you don't mind.

Cheers,
Chris

No need to apologize, if I post something wrong or build some thing that might not be strong enough, I'd rather some one let me know now, before the car ever gets driven or some thing bad happens. So I really appreciate your advice.

And of coarse, you can use any of my ideas, because at some point I got them from some one else, lol.

Thanks,
Jon

Well yeah, you got to save up for the 9000 rpm supercharged, drysumped, ls engine for the Javelin first, lol. What ever the car is, it will be a awesome build.

Thanks,

Well, I broke down. I am now an LS engine owner.

I just picked up this LS2 with less than 30k on it, came with a truck intake (not gonna use that), a LS7 cam with springs (stock ls2 cam is still in engine) and I believe ls7 injectors for $1500 off craigslist.

Seemed like a good deal, now I got to figure out what to do with it. Get a intake and throw my Dad's old 750 Demon on it or go efi. Hell maybe some ls3 heads.

But first, I got to get a T-56, an oil pan and a quicktime bellhousing. So I can position it in the car to make the engine and transmission mounts.


Now I have to sell all my AMC engine stuff, Who needs a all standard 390?

Thanks,
Jon

Now that's a great motor choice.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Jtomas801 11-29-2011 01:33 PM

Thanks, I am hoping it works out good. At the moment I am think of just putting the ls2 carb intake on it with the msd controller, check the bottom end, arp rod bolts and maybe a small cam shaft, then just stick it in the car.

I want to do a stroker with good heads and a big camshaft, but I will be better off doing that as an upgrade later down the road after I get the car running and the suspension sorted out a bit.

Thanks,
Jon

congrats Jon. that's going to be killer!

Jtomas801 11-30-2011 12:02 PM

Thanks Asif, it is going to really lighten the front end up. What I like is, if some thing breaks, I could go to any parts house to get parts. Plus it doesn't hurt that my Dad works at a chevy dealer.


Hey Asif, do you want or know any body that needs an new internal balance aluminum flywheel for a six cylinder (works with '72 and up v8s)?

Thanks,
Jon
