Haha sounds like my buddy, texting me last winter askin me if I wanted to come help him pull his motor.

2 hours later after my last two classes are finished, I go over and he's already got it on the stand with the trans off and two bolts away from the head coming off! The extent of my assistance ended up being me just cleaning some oil off the block hahaha

Dustin!!! you hurt my feelings...lol who do you think is working on this? Never doubt EddyB, this is the easy way to get it out heck with that drop the K member BS, actually I pulled the tranny first because it was shot, so then the motor comes out easy. :bigthumb:

Actually triple charging is done from time to time. I've seen it done on a GT500 and a 03/04 Cobra.

I heard mamamia, kitch and keith are right... He sold the LS engine to get a large turbo mitsu and put it with a TH400 with some nitrous. That way they have the frankendart, frankenstang and the frankenaro.

Yes the new special gold iridite top is really trick, funny electronics ppl been doing that for years. And the black anodizing side holds the oil in better and stops galling.
