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

SR2Zero · 07-21-2008, 06:39 PM

burnsauto · 07-21-2008, 06:42 PM

guy in my town has a pretty built 350 s13.. not really my cup of tea...but maybe its just the way he treats the whole situation. (a big time chest beater.)

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

Troof. But yeah, Gen1 motors are cheapppppp. Cheapest way to 400hp, for sure.

Oh, since no one said it yet... Sportmax wheels?!? EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

koroshiya87 · 07-21-2008, 08:13 PM

fucking sick shit

Jonnyblaze · 07-21-2008, 08:42 PM

nice.. i love sbc's.. so simple, an autistic 5 year old can build one

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.

Andrew Bohan · 07-21-2008, 09:30 PM

LOL.. if you even have to actually search through a junkyard then theres something wrong.. theres 3 of them sitting in my dads shed right now

s13 @ fullboost · 07-21-2008, 10:09 PM

Purple is kinda cool keep up the good work and i might even subscribe to this thread. =]

gregfarz78 · 07-22-2008, 05:32 PM

I like the LSx as much as the next guy but you can't go wrong with a sbc either plus they are a lot cheaper than a LSx and have just as much aftermarket support.

Is he fabbing his own mounts?

WangonwWarrior · 07-22-2008, 05:40 PM

I got a shit ton of sbc parts from my Z28's. Holla if you need somthing and good luck with this build

Pank · 07-22-2008, 05:57 PM

haha, can you get me a damn t56 for under a grand? I know i'm going to blow this t5, maybe before or after i blow the diff or axles.

I got a t-5 thats in my z and its about to take a dump. T-56's get snatched up faster than a drunk teenage girl around here but ill let you know if i find one. BTW is that T-5 any good? maybe i just got a bad trans

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

dynamicck · 07-22-2008, 06:25 PM

i assume this car is gonna used mainly for drag?

what else is he adding? s/c? turbo? nitrous?
cast iron blocks are awesome for forced induction.

TanaMU · 07-22-2008, 06:40 PM

It seems somehow wrong to go to all that trouble and then just stick a gen 1 in there.. Especially considering how an LS1 with tranny, ecu, harness, etc. is only like $2500....

We'll see, i need to fix the clutch. Its got (i think) a turbo II diff, so the axles or tranny are going to be the first to go.

What power are you pushing in your Z? i *SHOULD* be at 400/400 or so. I've heard people blowing them with mild sbc's so I dont think you got a bad one, they're just that weak.

(this is in an FC RX7, btw)
