Project Syckness

[1badchevelle]

I am new here and posting my driver/project. This was a gift from my wife last year after I sold my 86 crew cab dually. The handaling is poor and this is were I started focusing my attension. I am sad to say I am not doing a frame off but the frame has been power coated by previous owner. It has a 350 small block with a demon 650, edelbrock intake, accel billet dist, hooker headers. from thier it goes to a rebuilt th400, and the week link is a stock non posi 10 bolt. I have installed hotchkis coils out back with QA1 adjustables. I have also installed UMI tubular control arms upper and lowers. I shall try to have the front coils and qa1 shocks on this week end. I am looking to do a c5 brake upgrade with the help from you guys. It is running 3" exhaust to flowmasters. this thing is loud.(neighbors hate me everytime I start this thing) You can hear me coming from a block away. The rest of the car is pretty stock. I was able to get my hands on a original Baldwin motion hood and sbc valve covers from a 70 chevelle from NJ Covers are getting polished and hood is getting some minor work done. I will be posting pictures as I go along. I am looking to have a rendering ( any takers) Car will be running 18 or 19 up front and 20 out back. color I am looking at is 2008 corvette otomic orange or two tone with 04 chevy charcol grey on top. This has been a car on a budget.

I am in a bit of issue. I would like to go EFI. Would I be better going with accel stealthram, GM Ramjet 350, LT1 or LS ? This is going to be a daily driver and as gas price go up the more I delay. I am looking for MPG but also HP. Any help would be great.

Nice I used to have a 72 that I stupidely sold for very little money a few years ago...If you need a rendering send me a pm...

ZVT pm sent

Finally came up with a name for my project. Project bonehead.

After a lot of number pushing I came with a $10k budget not including the car. I will be foing with some type of ls motor (unless brother in law gives me his 97 LT1 vette w/ 20/miles)trans will be a 4l60e with a 12 bolt. I will be running c5 z06(Tobin @ kore has been a great help w/?) front and rear brakes(paid $80 new) I will be nickle and dimeing what I can, and buying as funds allow(any Sponsor willing to pitch in? I will be posting pic's as time allows. After all this is my daily until I get my taurus up and runing or pick up my buddys 97 wrangler for $800 with 35" tires with a 6 inch lift 4 cyl.

Just a update, I was able to pick up my LS1 today. The guy had a couple ls6 and a ls7 I guess this one was in hes way. Eng was preety complete but will need a new throtle body and water pump as he said the pump had a leak. I also picked up a 93 mustang gt for 2500. This will be my new daily until I get the velle back up and running.

Wow, those are some amazing deals you've found!! Wish I could find them like that for my Elky.

[1badchevelle]

Well its been some time since I did a update. I have gone from the ls1 to a 2000 4.8 to a 2002 5.3 to a 06 6.0 w/ a 4l60e I just pulled out the old motor over the weekend and removed the hole interior. I will be putting in a mild cam(any recomendations welcomed) I have edlebrock motor plate on the way and should ordering the edelbrock headers some. I have also bought the gto seats from a Qnitro(thanks again these things are bad a$$)
I have also placed my order with PRRC for my Rushforth Rated x 20 x 10 out back and 19 x 8 in front but also looking into Whiplash in a brushed finish with a polished lip.(Supporting our site vendors) ATS got the call for the stock spindles with steering arms (NICE)

I am looking at Marquez for some parts the the velle, and maybe ring bros for some hood hinges.

I know I left out a bunch I will post later.


Well project will be slow moving I get $$$ for the build.


Not sure if anyone has this name but if I can have a mod change the name to Project Syckness.

Also Many Thanks to Tyler(ATS),Jason(Rushforth)Tobin(Kore3) Jim (Paradise) for all your help and patience
