168k mile junk LS1 motor

FRDnemesis · 08-14-2012, 02:11 PM

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.

Video

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.

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

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.

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........
