Whats been goin on in my garage...


putting a new tranny, exhaust, driveshaft, valve covers on mine, went to a C4 setup and i decided to black out my motor somewhat. and pullin my brothers 454 out of his camaro. LME put a bad rod, piston height combo in his motor (along with others) and it burns oil and leaks it into the intake like crazy. soo sending it off to in houston to work it over and make it a nitrous motor. last time we had it on the dyno it made 550/536. last week we put it on the dyno again ( this time with an open cutout and a new, bigger Y pipe.) it should have made 580ish with the cut out open but it made 505. put new plugs in it and closed the cut out and it made 495, thats 55 HP down. so we pulled it out. mine should be done on the weekend. here are some pics.

old tranny

new one

new driveshaft, old one

new flex, old flex


new converter old converter


got my kirkey seat in and a temporary switch panel till i wanna shell out the money to buy an ARC digital one


and the new v/c. painted them cause i dont like the red






buyin some black fuel line and fittings this week them i will get an updated picture of what the motor looks like with all the black. contemplating painting my intake and water pump black but i just dont know..... should be done by the weekend and i will hopefully have some nitrous passes under my belt in 2 weeks.

for some reason my brothers pictures will upload bit i will have them up sometime this week.

Very nice man, seams to be coming along nicely... I say powdercoat intake and water pump, but if you're on a time restraint I get it. But god damn I really like the valve covers and with the black fuel lines/fittings maybe silver would be nice to break up all that black?
