I was planning to, but nothing is certain yet, I'm still trying to decide between dropout, crate ls3 376/525 or lsx376-b8

what was the deciding factor? the weight difference?

It was weight but I also liked the lsa oil piston squirters, it included the sc with the long block, and I got the assessory drive with my drop out.

Price too.

Its been a while! Nothing fun to post other than some scope creep.

I've been sanding a lot on the frame and firewall getting it ready to paint.



Then i started to clean the rubberized gunk off the bottom with the plan to reapply a rubberized undercoating. Well after looking at Curtis and his nice raptor liner underside I took out my sand blaster and started hitting the trans tunnel when the gunk came off pretty easy it was all down hill from there.

I wrapped the whole thing


Then started blasting.


I then started picking the last of the old seam sealer off the cowl/firewall area and found some stuff festering. This will be cleaned the best I can then my paint guy will take care of the rest.



I also scored a low mileage close ratio t56 Magnum!

Next up
Retro Fit 2011 Impreza rear seat (i hope this works)
LSA heads off to be CNC'd
Cam / Pulley swap on the LSA
