Jim, I bet there are several "kits" to drop a LS engine right into the Z car. Easy 500 HP.  |
The upper arms are easy, couple hours each if you have air tools. The bottom you need a spring compressor for and I have access to one. It needs an alignment and I want to replace those beforehand.
For Jim, with the RB he can keep it in the family and doesn't have to be stuck with such little amounts of HP.
Jim, when you make the swap, let me know which brand of tires you use so I can buy some stock in the company!
Richard, good luck on the 928. What did you decide on the pepper wagon?
So, we are at the Herbert Hoover thing in Iowa on Saturday and Jacob goes up to get sworn in as a Jr Ranger at this place (he has been sworn in at around 20 so far) and he chooses to strike up a conversation with the Ranger about his taser instead. Can't take that kid anywhere!
