I'll sell you an st5 for $100.

How chewed up is it?

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

Slightly less than his pecker...

 

[GTPpower]

Lol.


It's probably runable.

 

[TurboTJ]

Gotten a few things from the garage sold so things bought in the last two weeks -
Th350 with converter
Cam
Powerlogs
Heads with valvetrain goodies
Double roller, machined cover, and dampener
Head studs

Once I get the box of parts in the mail motor is off to the shop! Next month is fuel parts purchasing.
Hoping within 2 months the car will be running and driving n/a and then turbo goodies!

What size injectors are you going to use?

 

[TurboTJ]

Early thoughts are 450lph in tank pump and 80# injectors

 

[TurboTJ]

Welp spent about $2000 in one day today on goodies! More to come soon!

[TurboTJ]

Also one thing that irks me...
Two weeks ago when I needed to order parts I call zzp and say hey I need to order $550 worth of parts is there any way of getting free shipping on an order like that if I use my card and order with you over the phone.
The reply I got - no we don't have any deals going on.
K bud I'll order it online then.

The only time I ever got free shipping from them is when I drove there to pick the parts up, dropped around 15k over 2 years with them, not to mention all the other builds I've done useing zzp parts

 

[TurboTJ]

GTP trunk full of goodies for another 3.8 so shiny!

 

[Xtant12]

I like where this is going!

 

[GTPpower]

You're gonna be slower than my m90 gtp.

 

[TurboTJ]

You're gonna be slower than my m90 gtp.

Probably



Not.

 

[TurboTJ]

What spring removal tool of choice do you guys use?

 

[1quick]

Heads off I use the big c clamp looking one

 

[TurboTJ]

Ya I have two sets of heads I need to take apart, both are off the motor.

 

[TurboTJ]

Getting closer!
Picked up injectors today. Had to have a valve job done on my second set of heads due to seat cracks on my original pair.
Had to move the car storage places out of town to my engine builders shop. Motor is ready for goodies!
