Nevermind the fact my lowly ltwon did 10,s without anything crazy or turbo . But the ltwon is junk You aren’t wrong, Jon’s not wrong, I’m not wrong. Also on the flip side, none of us are right either. My point is this platform can be the easiest and cheapest thing out there. or it can be the most expensive and most challenging car too! There are a million ways to build a Fbody! Its like the new civic. LOL It all depends on what the car wants to be, how much money it is willing to take from the owner and how the owner wants to run it. Thats why my project is sticking to a strict plan. Budgeted accordingly and being built with specific parts, in specific ways to stay on track till completion. Its very easy to stray once you get into the project. Example. My 6.0l came from a 200+kmi beat ass truck. Tore the motor down and it looks MINT inside. Very surprising actually. I first wanted to just replace some leaky gaskets and clean it up. Then I figured replace the valve seals. So since the springs are out, why not install Yellows now. Since the bottom end needs to be cleaned, why not disassembled and install new bearings and ARP bolts. Hell lets toss in forged pistons, then a hone… At some point I had to smack myself and say STICK TO THE PLAN MIKE. ---

Dude auto correct isnt helping you man! LOL Yeah no doubt the motor is cheap. If you can find one for less than $400 complete (ave for a LM7 from a yard, harness, some or all acc’s, pan to intake) equally outfitted, then go LT I guess. If its at all a long term project with stepped goals you want to accomplish, then the choices are that much more relevant NOW, to avoid double work and re-replacing stuff later on. ---

Ohh and “$500 car to pass inspection” part. Its a 94. If the tires aren’t bald, suspension isn’t falling off, cat is on it and the lights/horn/etc work… it will pass. and that’s trying to pass it legit. 🙂 You could put a rocket engine on the car and get a sticker! ---

a 94, 3.4l does not have good potential. take it from a kid that built a 400rwhp turbo V6 camaro. I had a 95 black 3.4 v6 as my first car. I owned it for 3 months. Car was a good driver, and thats it. ---

I owned it for 3 months. Car was a good driver, and thats it. why do i need all that HP thou? i dont care about something that is gonna break track times or win races, i would like it to look brand new and just something on nice days to take off ttops and go for a long cruise, more power is nice, but not needed in my life, im happy with a stock engine accuttly… lol but im glad you all did show me that if i ever want to build a fast car to sell this one and get a new one:) ---
