What's been goin on in my garage...

[89-347-LX]

putting a new tranny, exhaust, driveshaft, valve covers on mine, went to a C4 setup and i decided to black out my motor somewhat. and pullin my brothers 454 out of his camaro. LME put a bad rod, piston height combo in his motor (along with others) and it burns oil and leaks it into the intake like crazy. soo sending it off to in houston to work it over and make it a nitrous motor. last time we had it on the dyno it made 550/536. last week we put it on the dyno again ( this time with an open cutout and a new, bigger Y pipe.) it should have made 580ish with the cut out open but it made 505. put new plugs in it and closed the cut out and it made 495, thats 55 HP down. so we pulled it out. mine should be done on the weekend. here are some pics.

old tranny

new driveshaft, old one

new flex, old flex

new converter old converter

got my kirkey seat in and a temporary switch panel till i wanna shell out the money to buy an ARC digital one

and the new v/c. painted them cause i dont like the red

buyin some black fuel line and fittings this week them i will get an updated picture of what the motor looks like with all the black. contemplating painting my intake and water pump black but i just dont know..... should be done by the weekend and i will hopefully have some nitrous passes under my belt in 2 weeks.

here are some pictures of my brothers car and tear down. a little background info, its a 454 LSX motor, Fab 9 inch rear, 6 speed, pretty small cam, fast intake, kooks exhaust, blah blah. made 550/536 RWHP on motor.

me standin and watchin the ls1 expert

and we got it out!

Its amazing how a 454 can fit in those cars with no hood problems or anything.

Might have something to do with the fact its a small block 454?? Anyways nice car and build do you have any pics of the whole car?

Nice rides. Your notch looks mean as hell.

 

[blackened88lx]

That notch is ****ing amazing. The camaro is badass too. I hope he puts a bigger cam in it this time and let it breathe. That thing should rip. Personally I would like it more drag inspired like your car. With traction, a little weight reduction and a good driver his car COULD go pretty easy 9s on motor. lsx>*
