Welcome to the IHoP v.2

I'd swap in the bigger six and go.

While I love Bavarian power plants, it isn't the right solution.

[///M5 2,833]

Shitty Chevy ftw. ?

[///M5 2,833]

Chassis dynamics, NVH, fit & finish are what is important. Powertrain I want cheap.

For fuck sake I drive a crappin' Cadillac.

I did order a drop kit for it Thursday

Tried to order a brake kit. Found the 16, 14.25 Wilwood's used for $2500. Needs a rebuilt caliper, so I am waiting on rotor measurements. Super trust worthy seller though. If that doesn't fly, $3800 worth of brakes will be coming my way within a week.

Thinking a KB Racing Turbo setup at the moment. Which block I buy is yet to be decided.

[///M5 2,833]

$8000 buys a 2000hp ready block. Sort of gives me a safety factor if I am only pulling 8-900.

Speaking of, thinking of scrapping the Android h/u for windows. Probably going to run EFI Live and headunit tuning of the car is pretty wicked.

That would be bitchen.

Not seeing any other way to really do what I want. Fuckbyou power and daily sensibility only come one way

So once you get it done in 6 months are you going back to GM to give the keys to the engineers and tell them that is how you should have built it in the first place?

11hr day on a Saturday, awesome.  Did pick up 2x 4packs of local beer spint for tonight though.  

[topgun 262]

I need an ice bucket by my recliner.  

[dem beats 1,223]

Fuck you barometric pressure.

FUCK YOU!

[topgun 262]

Looks to be around 65-70hrs this week, lots better than the 80 the other week.  

 

The W still is grumpy though.  

[topgun 262]

Fuck you barometric pressure.

FUCK YOU!

 

The ole joints acting up on you?  The W has the built in weather meter too.

I am REALLY drawn to this, minus about half the money.

Seriously,

Go buy it. Spend $2k on a conversion kit, $1200 on an LS motor from your pops, and have a shit kickin', cheap to insure, safe, reliable, comfortable, and super sporty rig to haul Jr. around in. Can't really think of a better solution for you. Snows on that in the winter will make you UBER happy. Very predictable chassis. Everything outside of powertrain is cheap.

 

While I am a fan of the LS engines, I am already sick of them being used in everything.  If I'm going to bastardize it, I'll do it with Blue Oval power.

 

My truck should be done here within the month, so I no longer have to worry about driving my cars in the snow.  As beat up as the interior is in that thing, it's only worthy of being driven in the winter, and there's no way in hell I'm spending anything on the  interior.  Fucking Ford and their peanut butter tan.

FUCK YOU!

My right thumb is ~15% wider than my left, and through my pants you can see my right knee looks like a puffy cantaloupe.

Feet never sweat in my Allen Edmonds, and they were so snug today my wool socks were damp.

[dem beats 1,223]

And the part I want to swell up and throb won't do shit.

[topgun 262]

Quit watching porn at work and your right pant leg won't be swelled up then. 

[topgun 262]

Well shit.  Never had that problem, guess getting older will be a bitch.  

[dem beats 1,223]

I was just joking. I think it still works.

I just have no interest when I'm in pain.

[topgun 262]

I do love my wool socks, ever since getting them I hardly wear cotton ones anymore.

The W is that way too.  

[topgun 262]

If she doesn't even want to know its getting up there on the ole pain meter.

What wools do you buy. I got a pair of darn tough socks that I absolutely love bit at $12 a pair its steep.
