I had a thread I started back in 09 but thought I'd start a new one.

I'll update this over the next few days but I'll start it with the good part.


1st start was yesterday and I got to drive it down the road (about a 1/2 mile or so)!

Now to start working out the bugs.

And yes my car needs a paint job, its had a hard life and paint, new bumper will come!

Nice SRT, that 350 is going to be loud as crap, unless you change that exhaust.

At idle you its not loud, but you are right at WOT it will be!

I'll start by saying this was a long project. I wanted to do this without useing a swap kit and made everything my self. Needless to say I installed, made mounts and so on more than a handful of times and wasted more money on parts then I want to count !


My gauge set up, some cheap sunpro gauges in the stock three gauge holder, a speedhut tach and a APSX D2 wide band in teh door vent

1st motor was junk (think it set for to long or go some dirt in it over the years) so pulled it and swapped in a another junkyard 5.3 and the new motor sounds awesome. Did to finish getting it back together then time for a tune

Vid of the new motors 1st start

Still working on the tune but it builds boost quick

In the drivers seat it sounds awesome. Last night rolled into it a little over half throttle and it builds boost so fast, was at 7lbs before I knew it and going 80 in a 45 could have been bad if I would have passed a cop.


CUL8ER I was just looking at yours and damn, now thats a nice clean build!

mastatikle

What are you doing about getting it inspected?
