So back in the 80's if you were to buy lightning rods from a speed shop.....did Hurst also sell a shift plate?......or counsel? How were guys installing them?
Well done. You have the perfect ext/int color combo....the optimal drivetrain....and the 17" N90 wheels really compliments the clean factory appearing exterior. I can't think of a single thing that would make this car any better than what it already is.
You've got my vote for g-body of the year.
Ostrich - I just realized you had started this thread. I hope my posts don't come across as intruding on your thread........feel free to tell me to butt out if my posts are not welcome here.... :)
Yep.....been in both positions myself.....the hopeless feeling of facing a seemingly never ending project.....with the project completely torn down in my garage........ and breaking things up into manageable projects with an emphasis on keeping the car on the road.
Some classify the ~2004+ gen 3 with gen 4 internals as a gen 4......some call it gen 3.5.....regardless of what you call it, an 04-06ish lq4 is the holy grail of ls truck engines.
You had good luck getting a 45k mile gen 4 lq4 for $700.....whenever you bought it. The market has never been that low on a low mile 6.0.
45k mile engines don't really exist anymore. 145k would be on the low end of the spectrum nowadays. I routinely see complete running 5.3's for $5-700 and...
Nothing wrong with wanting to get experience in building an engine. It's just that many projects get stalled and never finished at that point.
It might be a better strategy to initially swap in the high mile engine and build a core while you work the bugs out of your swap.
