yea we have certainly done that with this one, we have the 400 that originally came in it out and replaced it with a 400 that is built to high heaven...sucker will put down some hp never actually gotten it tested though but sure its well over 350 in the low 400 range and a limited slip rear...baby can get down i love her to death
i really wanna drive a 60 model that had the huge 454 in it, they were one of a kind and i wanna find an 83 sooooo bad
but i love the stylings of the 70 models

74 had the 454 and trust me it was funnny the thing would BURN a tire down but wouldn't really go anywhere after that
look for a 396 or a 427 they're the most fun to drive ...
one of the 427 ones i've driven had big ole side pipes and that thing was soo fun just cause it sounded oooof.... perfect and had soooo much power its not even funny. 10/19/2005 2:31:57 AM |

i actually have two 75s and one still has the 350 in it, we put side pipes on it with a flame throwin exhaust just for kicks, its fun to hear and see but def. doesnt go anywhere quickly. its for sure a looker though, might get out the digi cam soon and take some pics 10/19/2005 2:35:17 AM |

i hope you are kidding with both of those statements b/c the only big blocks installed in 60's vettes were: '65 ==> 396 (which you could actually get fuel injected) '66 - '69 ==> 427 the only put 454's in the '70 - '74 models
there were only 44 '83 models made. 43 were crash tested. And the only surviving one is in the NCM. clearly none were released to the public.10/21/2005 1:52:15 AM |

meant to put 69 actually instead of 60 and as for the 83, they say there is a surviving one besides the one in the NCM out there so...i just go by speculation of the corvette owners i ride with 10/21/2005 10:20:01 PM |

man at jiffy lube: "I hate these clamps, they are so hard to take off. Why did they do this to me, Oh my, why did they do this to me, why did they, holly macaroni, *while struggling to take it off*, why did they do this to me" *sigh*
this was my radiator hose when i was doing a radiator flush
makes me wounder: how did they get that job.
and oh..there was a sales and operation manager that is on training on how to use the computer.

ok, this wasnt about my car, but i thought it was pretty fucking stupid
"im gonna put an LS6 in my vette to replace the LS1, it'll only be like $4K and I'll gain like 50hp"
ok moron, buy some real heads and a real cam and put them on the ls1... since those are the only real differences in the ls1/6 anyways 10/25/2005 1:25:08 AM |

thank you for shopping at walmart
last time i went there for anything automotive wise i got a lecture on how they couldnt mount some tires for me because the wheel sensors were too complicated and they'd be liable if they fucked them up
so i went down the street to a friends shop and did them myself...nothing complicated about them at all 10/25/2005 1:28:36 AM |

with the synthetic engine oil 10/25/2005 1:29:19 AM |
HZW0483 All American 1550 Posts user info edit post |
damn, that musta sucked... well i was over their heads watching everything they did, i know enough about cars to be able to work on them, i mean i could of done it myself but i dont have the machine.
before i got to them i changed my oil, spark plus, wires, air filter, etc.. and i told them i did so that they wont say shiiit like you need an oil change or some shit like that and so they would know what the hell iam talking about if they try to rip me off...
but it was pathetic!
The only reason i go to wal-mart auto center is to get tires...even then with my first car (the altima) I told them to watch out there were neon lights under the car, and so i left..came back and there they were one of em was busted..ended up taking 25 bucks off my ticket...but that sucked! 10/25/2005 1:35:19 AM |

This is funny, has nothing to do with this but it has a car in the story so there ya go:
"a blonde girl just went out and bought a brand new million dollar sports carand when she was driving it home she cut of a truck driver and the driver got pissed he motioned her to pull over and foolishly she did. He took out a knife and drew a circle in the dirt and said stand in there and dont move she said ok. he took his knife and cut the tires and he turned around n she was laughing he yelled and said you think that is funny she said nothing but kept laughing. he slit the leather seats n still she was laughing n he said god damn it lady whats so funny she said nothing and kept giggling. he turned around n smashed the windows she was still giggling n he said what the fucks wrong with u y u laughing and she said every time you turned around i stepped out of the circle" 10/25/2005 2:12:53 AM |

if this is in regards to DSMs, the NA models have the Neon engine, not the 4g63. It's stupid as hell to try to turbo an NA one. Sell it to some highschool girl and buy a GSX/TSi AWD.
and i don't really understand the point of a V6 Mustang. The only point of a Mustang/Camaro is to have a lot of power for not much money with the V8 model. Other than that, they aren't really good for anything. Take away the V8, and you're left with a car that isn't as good at anything as some other stuff that you could get for the same price.10/25/2005 10:49:31 AM |

the v6 mustangs are designed for girls you can fight if you want but it is the target audience i know a couple people w/ turbo ones that will spank most v8s (443 hp 486 ft-lbs)
ohh and back on topic "dude how long did it take to swap in this 5 speed into your cherokee" uhhh i didn't i searched for a long time and found one that came with it "no man they didn't make any 5 speed 4.0s in 1999" yep they made 200 and 4 were green sport/country combos like mine 10/25/2005 12:27:51 PM |

Duke, the 2nd Gens had the 420A from the neon, but the first gens had a higher compression, non-turbo 4G63 (or a dinky 1.8 SOHC). There are lots of people who buy 1st Gen GS's and try to adapt the hardware from the GST and GSX. I mean it works, just not as well and ends up costing a lot more when all is said and done. My car hasn't run in months, so no entertaining comments to post. 10/25/2005 4:04:08 PM |
