Okay so here is Plan "C"
Since the Wagner built motor is going to the Junkyard less a few parts. I am going to be ordering this Motor & Trans
from Speedway Motors and cutting my losses. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a19912c-me.pnghttp://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...93d68fb-me.png http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...bbb38ad-me.png |
Marty,
Wouldnt ot be cheaper to replace broken rings and reseal the engine than buy a new one? To me (I known Im different) new can just be another train wreak. Do it myself, I know whats going on and who to blame.. We have a saying here about leaking american cars: If they are not leaking, means that they are out off oil. LoL No, LS is pretty good keeping fluids in. Old school stuff, not so much. |
Just an FYI.
That engine is 24x on the crank reluctor. (Disregard that, I see it was an LS1 to begin with, so 24x shouldn't be a problem) That may or may not play well with your exisitng electronics. It's also an iron block. You definitely don't need a 102mm throttle body and sheetmetal intakes suck on street cars, especially with an auto and a 102 mm throttle body. I'm also on the plan of having existing parts freshened up locally. FinishLine can fix that trans for sure and there are a number of competent engine shops around. |
Yes, however this will would be the fourth time the engine has been rebuilt.
I have thrown more money at this boat anchor and I just can keep doing it. Quote:
