Well I think I will possibly sell my civic first, I am seeing a lot of nice rx7's that are not worth as much as my civic, so it is probabl the smart idea. I did find the motor I want already.. Not sure if I should just get it now or not.

70k Mile 5.3 Triton with a 4l60e and whatever else I need to pull, Such as harness etc etc. For 850. Seems like a good deal on a motor to me.

Only I didnt click the video. He is an active poster in the forced induction section on ls1tech. That is where the nickname used in all of his vids came from.

Triton is ford my friend. You mean vortec. If it is an iron block that is about right assuming the trans is good. A sub 100k mild iron 5.3 usually goes for $400-500 intake to oil pan.

Could possibly be a neat little project near my area, FC though LOL

I wonder how that rear end is... lol
and Idk about them rims... Some Cobra R's with some fat DR's would be more fitting to this car ;)

Yeah I figure it will be a fun project. And hopefully for 5k-6k including car should be enough to get it up and running. Then some minor bolt ons, and a nice 100 wet shot. Then suspension and get it to handle like a go kart,

NN wet shot on an lsx unless you are shooting over 200. Its 1 more solenoid to stick and fuck you up. Tune it for a dry shot and you are golden.


Of course you know I'd love to see a BW S476 or a PT76GTS on it haha.
