Dvl4evr Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 What are you listing the old engine for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Fangs Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 I would like to get 6500 for it. It is complete from throttle body to oil pan. It even comes with the fuel rail, injectors, coils and plug wires. The only thing you don't get with it are the sensors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 A C5 with that motor would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Fangs Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 The original engine is gone. The new engine is in, and now the fuel tanks are out. I am working on installing the E85 fuel system. I may have a couple of photos to add tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Fangs Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 I also meandered out to the East side of the world this morning and met up with Steve at Loud Pedal Motorsports and gave him a small deposit on some go-fast goodness. It was my first visit to the shop, and while I could not stay for a grand tour, I was very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Fangs Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Just a quick update. Despite the fact that I had my heart set on a sheet metal intake, I could not discount the increased IATs and outrageous expense and lead time. I therefore begrudgingly went with a FAST intake, but lo and behold, with removable runners and a distinct top and bottom section, I was able to modify the runners to an acceptable length, which increased my plenum volume to an acceptable level. A girl has to keep some secrets, so there are no further pictures or expalnations of the modifications done, but a keen eye ought to see a couple of nifty things in this pic. I am currently on parts hold waiting on some stuff from a buddy in Australia, but hope to be back in the build soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Fangs Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 As an added note, the intake and TB you see in these pics came from the fine folks at LPM who offered great service at an outstanding price. I have been using the same parts suppliers from my old Houston neighborhood for the past 20 years. I am happy to say I have found a supplier in the valley that does the job just as well.

MOTV8 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Sweet...in your esteemed estimation, to what degree could a metal intake have on IAT's? I believe I just read somewhere on here that heak soak is a myth. Interested in your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
