Engine #3 in the turd gen!
Yes, I'm starting to sound like Spaz here. Engine that came with the car was overheated badly and had a cracked head and lost compression in 2 cylinders.
First engine installed was a junk yard 350 crate motor out of a truck. Had very low miles. Car ran like a top for 2 weeks. I blame the pink paint for the damn thing shitting out a rod bearing, but it was just a casting defect.
Engine #2 another junk yard 350. Well..... this one on start up ran like shit! My BF would not listen to me when I said "Why drop another junk yard motor when we have the LT1 and T-56 ready to go in?" Of course being a man and knowing better then me engine #2 goes in. Engine #2 had NO compression in the number 5 cylinder. Out came engine #2!
This car has been nothing but a monster since day 1. I have had a slew of electrical issues thanks to the Bronx mechanics that had their greasy paws under the hood. Over the last 3 years I have owned the car it has caused LOTS of cursing.
Engine #3 is finally installed! Having some difficulty with the exhaust right now. Will give more details later. BUT car finally has an LT1 T-56 combo. Will take some pics too once this bitch is finished and running again

Justin ordered it. I had nothing at all to do with the exhaust choice. Something about headers for the LT1 to fit in the turd

My life is a- Ben Stiller movie.
it's a good combo for those cars. I knew a bunch of turd-gen'rs around here that had the same set up.
