Add to the cost -tuning. When your done someone down there will have to tune it.

Exactly my thought.

Justin you're gonna have to sell yourself! we can ship ron down there and you can pimp him out!

^^ KICK ASS IDEA!!!! hahaha


i say forge what you have keep it a 5.7 and drive it, do a heads swap later.

Yeah, Ron the Floridian. LOL!!!

I already told my wife I am going to have to start whoring myself out. Hahaha

I don't know how to answer that one! How the hell did I get involved in this mess anyways??????????? :sFun_rofl:

Well a little update guys. Got the trans out and the rest of the front acessories off. Engine is ready to come on out now.

Just waiting for my taxes to come in and maybe Ill be able to come up with something for a motor....

The cheapest/smartest is to pull your motor.Send the shortblock out for forged rods/pistons. I'd send it to Virginia Speed since I don't trust most shops.

Swapping K-members won' elp you with the weight difference, the iron block is about 140# heavier then the aluminum block and K-member only saves you like 25#. I would rebuild the 5.7, hell you can get my exact engine for $3800 if memory serves (that is a fully assembled shortblock wih forged pistons and rods, custom cam, timing chain, oil pump etc etc. I have no complaints at all.

maybe Don did the whole front suspension over? his car was like 2 inches up over stock hieght.

And Justin!! I DROVE IT OUT OF THE Garage today for the First time in a Month!!! Hope you'll feel the same way i do wen you get yours back together and running Good again. i know you'll figure something out!!
