s13 k3nrock · 07-21-2008, 05:50 PM

this is a build up of my friend lee's s13.
he is puttin a small block chevy V8 350 motor into his s13
basically the project has just begun, KA has been pulled, wiring, lines everything, engine bay repainted, interior ripped out, sound deadener scraped and waiting on paint. fuel tank removed and everything is now waiting on gettin the motor into the car.
i got loads of pics so brace urselves for the exitement
right now we're at fittin the mock up so we know where to out mounts and how the motor will be when its in the car, also gettin the tranny to line up and fit through the tunnel and the shifter up and through the hole.
enjoy

pics up in a min.

sxe · 07-21-2008, 05:52 PM

waiting patiently.

s13 k3nrock · 07-21-2008, 06:06 PM

interior all gutted out

lol custom 2tone, u know u like it

firewall's been cut now drillin for the shifter

tranny didnt exactly fit right so we cut right down the middle of the tranny tunnel to spread it apart and give us more room to work with. will be welded back together later on

perfect fit

thats it for now. more updates some time this week and next

s13 k3nrock · 07-21-2008, 06:35 PM

burnsauto · 07-21-2008, 06:42 PM

TUnity2 · 07-21-2008, 07:49 PM

why an iron block?

Andrew Bohan · 07-21-2008, 07:53 PM

yeah why gen 1 instead of LS1 or something?

jrocslider · 07-21-2008, 07:55 PM

money

$$$$$$$$$$$$

96Turbo · 07-21-2008, 07:58 PM

iron block....me hungry for boooooost

use that cash u saved from not getting an LSx and get a big blower or somethin. that should make up for the weight difference

Andrew Bohan · 07-21-2008, 07:59 PM

might make up for the power to weight ratio, but not the weight balance

reckless13 · 07-21-2008, 08:54 PM

not really my thing but I respect the work being put in for sure. any plans on strengthening up that chassis? i.e. weld in cage? Really feeling the purple block!

bkg775 · 07-21-2008, 09:09 PM

I have an Sr20 but I know what your thinking I'm actually not thrashing you. I think it's sweet man 11 second car for like what 4000 bux total? Gotta love it man.

victorw210 · 07-21-2008, 09:26 PM

what cars do sbc 350s come in .could you get one at a junk yard. what type of fuel system does this use

Andrew Bohan · 07-21-2008, 09:30 PM

Holy fuck. I think even my 9yr old niece can answer that question. You must live in a vacuum somewhere under a rock.

dude sbc 350's come in everything from trucks to cars to station wagons just look for and old gm product and youll most likely find a 350 under the hood ,and as for the fuel system they are all carbureted up until 86 or so then they got tbi ,and some where about 95-96 they started making the vortec 350's

You can take a rock and throw it into any junkyard and I'm pretty sure it'll land on a car with a sbc 350.

Cheapest way to 400 hp? That's a toss up. If you're going N/A, that LS1 may actually be cheaper, depending on what all you do. I guess I'm looking at one car making 400 whp and being driveable, nice, and mild (the LS1) and the other being peaky, finnicky, and strung.

Now if you're going straight nitrous, obviously the SBC will make 400whp cheaper haha.

I've got a friend with a mild LT1 in an FC, and he's yet to break the Turbo II diff.

T5's from either Ford applications or GM, all fuckin suck if you're beating on them.

Luckily for you, there are plenty of nice upgrades (TKO TKO TKO haha)

Awesome build. I love v8 power....my next engine (if the SR breaks) will be LSx powered.

this is still the most killer post in this thread.

just to help, SBC= Small Block Chevy, 350 = 350 cubic inch. 5.7 liters.
Small blocks came in trucks, vans, camaros, vettes, caprices, novas, caddies, everything

(p.s. LSx's are technically SBC's. )

Gen 1 small blocks were made from 1955-2003.
During its run, over 90,000,000 small blocks were built

I'm wondering how hard it would be for this guy to upgrade to LSx in the future and not hafta refabricate mounts and such.

Mounts are different, however there are SBC-mount kits for LSx motors that would let him re-use his mounts.

Not exactly, see above.

SBC = small block chevy, yes, but this just means everything smaller than a "big block", aka "mouse motors" vs "rat motors". Not being limited to 350ci. Includes the 327 (seen as the "perfect" bore/stroke ratio, also found in the 383), 350, 383, 396, 402, 418, etc.

I thought the 396 was a big block?

Also would include the 283 and 302 (327 w/ 283 crank).

Although if you managed to find a factory GM 302 in a junkyard, you should probably run out and buy a lottery ticket before your streak runs out.
