So I spent all the money for my twin turbo build (http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=226352) on hookers and blow. Now I'm back with no money, a love for LSx motors and an unexplainable attraction to 80's Volvos.
I dorked around so long that tons of 240 owners have already completed varying degrees of NA and turbo LSx swaps. I'm pulling this Turd out of the woods to build a "cheap" 5.3 bracket car for the 2015 season.
I'd like to do a straight truck swap with a LM7/4L60E, but I already have an LM7 and a TH350 laying around so that's what's going in. The LM7 is fail and the TH350 costs too much to rebuild. Scratched for 4.8/4L60E
1983 244
- Ford Explorer 8.8 with two short axles 3.73 gears - $500
- 12 gallon aluminum fuel cell
- Bosch 044 pump
- 80's corvette radiator
- IPD pan hard & upper tq rods
Creeper Van 4.8, 4L60E, PCM and Harness - $600
FTI 4k RPM stall w/Anti-ballooning plates - $250
1st Nitrous Oxide stage NX Shark kit (EFI wet) - $300
2nd Nitrous Oxide stage Zex (EFI wet) - $300
The class I'll be racing in is for cars with ET of 12.00 and slower. . . but I'm actually building for Merica.
