LOL @ Spinningheadboy.. One of these days man, one of these days. (Just need to take the time and do it, but the problem is I will only do it right, so that takes time.) Sometimes I wonder why in the world did I decide to go this route.. LOL (It was running fine, excellent infact.)

I customized my China/Ebay special to similar specs. (IE: PITA.) Of course, once it's there, it's just a simple jig away from replication.. LOL

Oooh, if you setup a custom cam set for the stroker, I'd be interested in that. I would think that anyone who's doing this to the short block would do the basic head upgrades like oversize valves and upgraded springs along with the porting needed to make the most of them. :) (I have 1mm OS...

One note about stroke throws. 97mm is about as far as you can go without having the rod shoulders hit some very vital parts inside the block. (You will still have to clearance the block and other parts, especially with the Pauter rods as they are thicker where it counts than the stock ones.)...

OK, a few things. I've coated a pump before, and it later failed. (I think the heat might have wiped out the seal.) The impeller was steel, but stock it's cadminum plated, so unless you scratch it, rust is not likely. (Especially if your running enough coolant to control the rust.)...

CF tube is better than aluminum and steel at absorbing the vibration, but they are fragile. If you hit them with something, they can shatter. Good news is they just turn into lots of black cotton string if they do break. It's very unlikely they will do much damage to anything short of wiping...

I would only do the swap if it was modified up to make 450rwhp or more. Also would rather use the alloy LS engines to keep the weight as low as possible. Like how far back the V8 can be set. That is very cool indeed. (Better weight distribution should have this car handling with the best of...

Just bought two ST Tech filters for my new FZ1, will use Rotella T Synthtic on the bike as I'll change the oil every 1500 miles or so. (Gear box use as well as the motor tends to break down the oil faster from what I"ve read.) Supra's new fill is Redline 10 quarts, Canton/Mecca full flow...

Well, being an oil nut, and having both a good full flow canton/mecca filter, and an oilguard bypass filter, I still have a few powerful flat magnets on the oil pan. (I generally only have one there, but I'm working on the fuel mods, and then I'll zip tie the other 4 magnets around the fuel...

Your running the Maft Pro with no ISC or CSI right? Any issues? I've been slowly working on mine for awhile now, but wanted to keep the cold start injector and idle speed control. (Will not keep either if I do not need them however. IT will make feeding the fuel rail simple like you've...

The stock undertray does make a difference in cooling ability, especially on the stock radiator if your running mods that have your horsepower up near 400 at the rear wheels. Your creating more heat than the stock setup was designed for, so you see it's limitations much faster. (Overheating...

I have an Uncle Mike's shoulder rig, and Bianchi military with a flap I use when backpacking or outdoors. (I want them to see I'm armed at that time.) I dont' carry all the time however. (Generally small of the back in summer, and shoulder during the winter.) It's not easy hiding a Tarus...

That is dang funny. What will not be funny is when the RIAA decides to turn on the consumers who have paid to buy songs from this company. Da, Comrade, have you downloaded your MP3's yet... DasVadanya!

Totally depends on where your going to carry. Small of the back? Side of hip? Under your arm? Calf/ankle? If I'm wearing a coat, under my arm is most comfortable and hidden the best as I'm a big guy. Small of the back works, but not when I'm sitting down. Whatever you get, make...

Thanks SySt. :) If the current stroker motor ever dies, I'm keeping the chassis, but going twin turbo LS7 based. I might also go with an automatic as I'm getting older, and traffic sucks in a stick shift! (Of course, when I ride the FZ1, it's fine... )LOL It would negate any mounting...

Having built 4 7M's, and two of them being very rare stroker 7M's, the idea of using off the shelf parts from GM that make seriously insane power under forced induction is very tempting indeed. Think of this. The alloy block LS7 is lighter than the 7MGTE engine. It is shorter. (It has the...

Holly crap! Never took anything more than some quick measurements to make sure it would fit, but now looking at your LS swap, I have a few quick questions. 1) How much space/distance between the drop in the oil pan, and the stock MK3 crossmember? (IE: Can it go forward enough you do not...
