Is that one of those extra fancy polymer LS1/6 intake manifolds or a stock one painted black?? It's lookin pretty good though. I would love to see it when it is running!!! uhm....all the gen 3 chevy v8's (97+ in cars and 99+ in trucks) are composit intakes (which all happen to be black). I put an ls6 intake on to gain a few horses and free up some EGR plumbing, but the ls1 intake looked almost identical from above. Hmm... I did'nt know that. Wow, I learned something today!!!! ;D

kinda random, but i posted something about tires in another thread - I ended up scoring 2 pair of 275/40's from some SS camaro guys. One pair is mounted and on the rear of the vehicle. They dont seem crazy oversized for the 8" rim. Probably larger then I woudl suggest for an 8" wheel, but they were free, so I'm gonna run them. Maybe I'll get this thing running by DD4 and get a chance to burn them off.

SHE'S A BEAST ...exhaust is for weenies.
j.k. prolly gonna run dual 2.5's back w/ x pipe and dual mufflers.
IT FIRED UP TODAY!!!! it runs pretty good off of carb cleaner, but doesn't like to run off of the fuel pump. I haven't even touched the fuel pressure regulator so i'm sure its totally off. Tommorrow or the next day i'll get it settled to 56-58psi and see what happens.
i was SOOOOO happy when it fired up. It sputtered some then settle to a nice rough idle. One of my spark plug wires is cracked in half so it wasn't firing on that cylinder. I already have a new one ordered, it'll be there when i get to work in the morning (perks of working in a chevy service dept).
Did i mention it RAN..... i can't put how happy i was into words. You couldn't slap the grin off my face when it fired up for the first time!
Now to sleep.

*grin*...so after it has started multiple times, I somehow touch one header and its cold. The other is hot...wtf?!
After some research I realize that my left side has no power. NO fuel or fire....this turd is running on 4 cylinders!!! Sweetness, my motor will run off of half power. Anyways, I have a makeshift power wire spliced into the 4 injectors and coil packs on that side. Sounds different now, I kinda like the lopey sound of 4 Cylinders. I'm sure i'll like the power from 8 more though.
Still no radiator :-\. Supposedly will ship out later this week. Yet ANOTHER week i have to wait to get this thing on the road. Someday it will roll under its own power....

so do you still have your 13b rew ? Nope, its in Texas somewhere. I sold it to a guy outside of dallas. It was 150,000 miles - engine fire, intake removed, engine harness toasted. I didn't know anything about it, or have any way of proving if anything on it worked so I just sold it as fast as I could to make space in my garage.

Took a video of the car running yesterday. just a short vid with bad sound but figured i'd post it anyways. First time the car has ran for more than 3 seconds since I just now got the anti-theft system bypassed. www.gobeer.net/fd/Movie.wmv
