Mad-Mic
Gone but not forgotten
i just started full time up at www.fbodycentral.com helping out. we got 18 cars in the shop and about 4 of them are supercharged and 2 are turbo cars.
i am already getting the hookup and i am loving this! not making a killing in money but the time put forth is well worth it when it comes to modding my rides. well today my friend Tony asks "How much do you want for your 12" Orion subs?" he's been after me to sell them for sometime now and i said "300 bucks" he says cool. well he is saving some money for a new dirtbike that he really wants and after lunch he pulls me back in the back room and goes "Do you want a motor?" i said "What do you mean?" he said "I got a 96 suburban 4 bolt main roller motor with vortech heads i'll trade ya. the motor only has 80k in miles" so i'm thinking to myself STROKER!" it gets better! he says "I'll buy the motor since i can get it for 300 bucks and trade ya!" i said "Done Deal!" man i am so stoked! now i just gotta unload the vortech heads since they won't fit my LT1 intake i just bought and then i can put them towards a new set of heads!
i also ran across a Gen VI DFI setup for 200 bucks! i am thinking about getting it for the vette. the guy also has a D44 rear that is freshened up with 3.54 gears. he said he was told when he bought it that it came out of a ZR1. all i think i need is the batwing and driveshaft. he wants 500 for it. i'm debating on that since i gotta figure out exactly what i need for the conversion.
well after i do the motor in the vette later this year i think i'm gonna put my 60k in miles motor out of the vette in my Z/28 for now backed with a 700R4 tranny. i also got my eye on a totalled 96 Imp SS thats over my other buddies house sitting there for 3 years. i think i can get it cheap. it ran low low 13's in the Imp. i'd like to stick that in the Z/28 if i can steal it for less than a grand or i'll just wait till i got the funds for the LS1 M6 setup i got my eye on. we always get T56 trannies from LS1 Fbods because them guys are swapping to Turbo 400's or i can just spend 4k and get a complete motor/trans/harness/computer.
oh BTW i'm doing my long tube header install this weekend
