168k mile junk LS1 motor
 

I was going through some OLD folders today and found this video of an old car of mine. Stock 50k mile motor spun a bearing (famous LS1 problem) so I found this old ass motor with almost 170k miles on it at F-body motorsports near Charlotte. Billy took me up there to pick it up and in 1 night, with the several peoples help (but PJ and I working around the clock), took the old motor/trans out, put the new rod bolts/heads/cam/intake motor/trans back in and had it running the next morning.

The rings were shot as you can see it smoke after a full throttle pull. So I had to kind of clean it out with a few revs in between pulls. With Lorenz's help, the car ran strong and made great power for an old @ss junk motor.

The original tuner had it making 465/412 Rear wheel but the car was utterly un-driveable in stop and go traffic.

Lorenz worked his juju on it and made it 95% better and on this day it made 445/390 Rear wheel if I'm not mistaken. It had a hole in the tune somewhere but he never had a chance to get it perfect before he closed up shop and moved home.

Nice! A few people around here have done pretty darn well with "donkey" junkyard motors.

Damn donkey motas.

I saw that car a few weeks ago. K.J. has it now.

Who's that? Where? I want that hood back for my wife's T/A.... :D

Kenny's son (from protec). He brought it out to SSS on night. It had been for sale at northwoods auto sales for a while. I doubt he will be coming off of the hood. lol.

Does he do anything with the car?


I have not seen that car since Marvin traded it in on the Beamer. I figured that car was sent off to auction or something by now, never to be seen again. :D

Not sure. I have only seen him drive it once or twice that I can remember. It was sold twice from northwoods that I know of.

I remember when you and Marvin swapped cars, but kept your motors, by doing the swap........

We swapped "everything but bodies". I kept everything, from Engine/trans/Driveshaft/12 bolt and ALL chassis and suspension.

I just wanted a Silver Camaro. :)

Few people around here have gotten "donkey" drug too.

Hoe snap! Here's looking at you "Mr. Red Rustang" :poke::poke::poke::poke::poke::poke::poke:

I remember damn near wrecking my truck in charlotte to get to jack in the box..lol

:mrgreen: I'd park my shit in the shed if I was riding around in a mustang with Fats/skinnies (slicks at that), spraying and got Monkey stomped

whoa, whoa, whoa, scratch that...............


make that DONKEY STOMPED by a 400,000 mile N/A 5.3 Tahoe motor stuffed into a four-eyed freak.

Does that technically make Shawn's car a hybrid? hmmmmmmmm, Tax write-off :D

That was some funny sh!t!!! Billy and his damn Jack in the box!!!!:mrgreen:

LOL! Rep

Just found a spot where Jack n the box and In n Out Burger are in the same shopping center. Head almost exploded.

Lol I would love to see the look on the govt officials face when they read donkeyhybridfoureyedfreak. Oh. Just thought up a new thread tag too.

WHERE THE FUCK IS THAT?

I am out in salt lake city. Aka ricer central. But they have the double double so it is alllllll good lol

Holy crap, where are you, west coast? LOL! That was the only place I've ever seen those two in the same state (Cali).
