[jalen]

I beleive he is going LT1 as mentioned 6 post above

[Mr.Dean_Yates]

Ah, I must have missed that. But I think you would get more hp than a ka24de or if your going de-t It's not worth the hastle.

 

SWAP THAT KA IN YOUR TRUCK ! LOL

Have you ever just been so tired of something and can't justify dumping more money into it than you already have? Cuz that's where I am with the truck, I'm done with that truck. Sick of it. Its a lemon.

[Mr.Dean_Yates]

So I'm going to be picking up an lt1 that is already at 10:1, this is a race motor already with a 600cfm Holly and other goodies. Guy want $1500, motor and t5 tranny ready to drop in. Now to get a friggin job and sell off alotta my truck stuff.

[Mr.Dean_Yates]

I'm gonna post pics of the new fenders later today and when I get the hood stripped and the bay painted, there will be pics. Also, thinking about doing the BRE fender stripes but in all black, anyone know how wide they are supposed to be and how far apart?

Sweet build. I'm usually not a fan but I'm diggin' the exhaust.   :thumbup:  

[Mr.Dean_Yates]

Thanks

[_chiefjt]

lol, no I haven't had that feeling yet but hopefully I won't because I love my 720.

 

And did you mean ls1?

[Mr.Dean_Yates]

No I mean lt1

[_chiefjt]

Oh okay

[Mr.Dean_Yates]

The ignition on an Lt is not on a crank sensor, its still gear driven so you can do carbs and delete the fuel injection. Which makes for easier installation.

[Mr.Dean_Yates]

Truck is going to the scrap yard today, extra $400 in my pocket to go towards bills/daph. Now if I get some hits on my 18s off the truck I'll be happier, and if this guy buys the motor and tranny outta my car I'll be bout $500 shy of my lt1

[_chiefjt]

:( sad to see it go to scrap but you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

So your gonna carb. the lt1?

 

And keep it up on the Z !

[Mr.Dean_Yates]

The z is my first love, won't ever get rid of it.

 

The truck was a money pit, I hate it, love it but hate it. Its got more issues than Kim Kardashian.

[_chiefjt]

Same except I wouldn't sell my truck. lol

 

Now on with the Z !

[Mr.Dean_Yates]

Just put in the new ish windshield last week and got it all cleaned out, gotta grab some sheet metal and weld up a hole in my floor boards and get my dash out so I can start on the cage and mount the brides...contemplating doing an aluminum dash or a sheet metal dash and put my original dash aside for another project. (I Dont want to cut up my dash to fit the cage) I'm trying to get a job so I can save up to get my lt1 and t5, then its on to suspension. Got to give her life before I can give her handling

[Mr.Dean_Yates]

I can't believe how long ago I started this project. It seems like ages but it really was just a few years ago. Well here's an update from the s30kid all grown up. I will be trading Daphne for another ZCar. One that doesn't need as much work seeing as I have limited time with work and school, but the guy I'm trading with (ThatOneGuy) knows my car just as well as I do, this car basically formed our friendship. So it honestly couldn't be going into better hands. The car that I will be getting is a 72 as well. I have missed and dreamt of driving my zcar for too long now. This December be expecting a new build thread, a joined thread between myself and ThatOneGuy as we chronicle the journey of the ugly sisters, Daphne and Darla.
