Wouldn't mind a 2jz either

Seriously tho if you don't know cross breed engine transplants really piss me off.

Billet Steelie look-a-likes





but probably going with



in 17" or 18"


1.5 inch drop spindles with 4 piston wilwood brakes on order. 12" rotor

13" with 6 piston is available but necessary?

i've been told no... but i also think that guy was more of a low rider cruiser type then an actually beat on the car type.

BTTT

So i have a gmc with that stupid fuel cylinder management mess...it's gone bad.

Would I be better off just getting that fixed or ripping a motor from a truck in a junkyard and replacing the block and contents?

Cheaper vs better in the long run?

wow this is a bump so old it hurts...

I should have bought that mustang... i found one done with a 408 that was a bullit clone and the only reason i didn't buy it is the asshat put a t-5 behind a 408 stroker. But nope... instead i tried to build my own car and am still fighting legal battles while getting $200/week
