Yep 2003 Z06 wheels.
Yeah by the time I upgraded the crank to callie's compstar, rods, cadillac lifters, etc etc it's going to be about 13k delivered. I'm doing the install so there will be no labor charge....
But i'll get about 2k for my current ls1 to help cover costs.
That price is almost 100% complete ready to drop in.
All I will have to do is swap a few sensors and supply my own valve covers. :drool:
Click this then in the 1st post there's a link to a corvette who just installed exactly what i'm installing..... F-ING SICK!

Yeah it is. My brother in-law built it. It works great. You can move the car around the garage by yourself with ease. Turning the car on its side makes it much easier to do thing like weld in sub frame connectors or reinforced the torque boxes. The car is fully seam welded. If i only had the time to finish it.

all i know is that when i get a house, first mod, lift in the garage.

All I know is that my next house will have a separate garage with lots of room for my projects. A lift would be nice to. I don't like welding in an attached garage. The fumes get in the house, plus I'm afraid of setting the house on fire.

used to, 89 fox, did some good stuff to it, had some nice goodies, made great power on the dyno even with a slipping clutch (couldn't hold power) and a bad trans. :laugh:
i miss the power, the sound, the feel, but not the car itself haha

Yeah they are a ton of fun to drive, but i don't think I would want it as my DD.

very true. i'd never want to DD a fox, ever. even if it was like show room new and rarity was not a consequence haha
here are a few pics of my old one....
loved me some window tint, 20% all around and 35% on the windshield (and no people, night driving wasn't bad at all)
money shots....
and one of the last pics i took while i still owned it...
made 332rwhp and like 372rwtq, like i said, the clutch slipped since it was OEM equivalent, and my trans was bad, so it had some more power left in her.
