lol rethinking going banda...
what was it wired at?

I may have posted something like this before, still sucks though. Order Ford Racing parts and the box says Made in Japan and contains NGK plugs.
anymore... as long as it doesn't say china I'm happy.

That's a work of art.
yea its ridiculous. If you look at what it is he has individual PCBs for the LEDs and a machined piece of aluminum and plexi. All are connected with their own pigtails. Its probably about $1k worth of parts easy, he has the prices in the build log but the one piece was like $253. But godamn...I would probably just sit there with a beer and a stogy and look at it in the garage.

dude over at diyma, giving me ideas for amp racks!

yea what is the process for butyl based deadeners? I am guessing the bug and tar is only for asphalt based crap.

Damn with the linear powers..
I wish I could post that in the "purchases I just made"
I don't even know what the heck the one in the middle is. Or the ones on the outside really.
-
wtf...this post used to be linear power amps...pic now is some dude in a hat.

amplifier section would probably be best.
audible distortion on a brand new amp is interesting at best...a bad amp at worst. But thats 1 scenario, could be 50 different things, start with the simple stuff and work your way up (see RCAs)

Godamn what'd you do?

I love ford trucks. I miss my superduty so bad.
Are you planning to chip it or anything? I hear the ecoboost loves a good tune on it, apparently some of the fleet mechanics have been playing with them a bit. (I know you've had this thing like a day though)

So that kid is in a pysch ward now for depression. Fucking people and especially kids can be horrendous little shits sometimes.
Was, and is out now. With an extra $250,000.
probably barely paid doctors bills and hes going to have to deal with that his entire life. Not to mention depression like that doesn't just go away. So no its not an extra 250K

did that thing not have wheelie bars?!
Yea thats strange too that it did that mid track. Seen it right off the line a lot but not that far down the track. Must be the delay in power delivery from the turbos...
Do they run NOS?

Engine, Trans, computer, wiring harness, custom exhaust, custom motor mounts, most likely custom oil pan, along witb many other little odds an ends
You're more than what you guys think.
Either one of you actually ever done an ls swap into something or just read about it online?
If he was going to get it and swap anything into it he be much better off financially with an old school sbc.
yup, but it was in a jeep.

I just dropped five figures in audio this isn't a cheap hobby at the upper tiers either
yea....
But I have consolidated. Maybe thats the trick instead of car/truck/bike/ AND everything else I just went down to audio....for now.....where are my turbos. FUCK!

ls engine swap is 8k at minimum.. every part to make it fit a car cost a fortune.
meh 8k$ is high but thats not far off. I think you would be 6k$ in the whole swap by the time you had the fuel, trans and fitted into the car. Theres a guy on pirate 4x4 that sells $2k LS motors with stand alone 2-wire harnesses that look really nice.
But really I found out a long time ago that performance cars/bikes and Offroading is a rich mans game. Fuck that. (says the guy that spent 2k$ so far on his audio build....)
8k with intake swap and a few mods. i hate that truck intake they run on it.. i was looking at getting one for the impala but im better of just building the lt1 for cheaper. 8k gets me a very solid 396 or 408 lt1
definitely, the LT1 can make power too. Or do forced induction, although I would build the motor before I started throwing stuff at it anyway.

Show me these cheap ls1 and Trans combo for sale cheap because I'll take two right now.
That car is for sale at the top of what it's worth so why get it and sink $10k+ in it that you'll never have a chance of getting back?
pick a part yard is selling 5.3s at about $250+ grab the trans/harness/ECM/TCM and you're at probably $1K-1.5K$, I would buy a 5.3L before I went with a LS1, performance is not too far off. Also 6.0Ls are plentiful.
Its doable but the bullshit thing is thats not where the money is going to be sunk. Its going to be in stupid shit to make it fit. And you get annoyed and end up buying the 2-3K$ LS swap kit to just make it work. So your budget engine just cost you what a E-Rod kit is gonna go for.
Classics are great but any car costs money to do right.

You can do a ghetto one with a drill that works. The lathe tools are expensive as hell though.
