Not sure if this is the right place to post..., looking for a new project Options

[SLCKLS1]

Heh, indeed. With the new engine, I figured I'd save some money by sticking with the distributor and carburetor. Now for a LS engine to use those things, you need a Wegner front drive kit. The distributor I _had_ with the old engine was not usable with the new one (the front drive kit uses a Ford distributor). The old carburetor literally peed all over itself when I tried to use it. When looking things over, the throttle rods were flopping around in the base plate, and I don't know why it all of a sudden just flooded the engine. I all of a sudden could not adjust the floats. Soooo, front drive kit, new distributor, new carburetor, and I am probably break-even with a ECU and FI system. The headers had to be replaced, and the exhaust system had to be replaced. In an attempt to make the car pass sound required a larger muffler, so I modified the passenger side floor pan to make room. It all adds up.

Haha yes. Yes it does. No one ever thought this was a cheap hobby, though. I just wish I could find another deal on an engine like I did previously. $800 for an LS1 longblock with 241 heads. 40k miles. Something tells me, that is never going to happen again. Needless to say, I snatched it up and threw it in my '99.

I think they picked 1995 since that was the last year for OBD1. I doubt it will get updated yearly.

Yeah, you're probably correct on that, sadly enough, since it is SO easy/cheap for them to just do a plug-in check, and STILL get ALL of their federal roadway funding. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
