Z28 to WS6 today

[KahanaReef]

True, this WS6 looks badass.
I loved that Z, just hope this one lasts longer than a year.

So. What's the plan. The time line before you're up and driving it?

I know you've got a plan

[Hi-Po]

Hopefully you get her fixed up, and have a better ride then you did before. Seems feasible to me with what you have to spend.

Congrats on getting into another fbody!

Aparently the guy signed the wrong section so i had to go meet him and get the paperwork settled. Car should be registered tomorrow. Hopefully i'm driving it tomorrow. The transmission is gonna wait probably about a week, i took it around the block and its not that bad, but it will be coming out soon.
Those are my plans as of now

Well, 2k went into a beater cavalier and some is going in the TA and the rest is getting saved. The radiator is already out and the new LT1 radiator is going in tomorrow. When the trans gets pulled the hood is getting sent out for paint. Should be an exciting month.


Got a few more pics







Work has begun, will finish up tomorrow

That sure is an interesting contrast between the hood and the rest of the paint
I think I like the black wheels better than the chrome ones you have-and i'm not usually a fan of black wheels.

He bought that car less than a week ago

I feel the same way about the wheels, usually not a fan but they look good on the car
iForged wheels are for sale

[c5z28]

Other than the lt-1 radiator being slightly better was the current one broken or what?
Looks like you have some room for a cam swap

It's a shame you had to go this route, but, I think you'll be very happy with the T/A. I wouldn't mind having one myself. Your wheels are going to look great on it too. Probably better on my car, but...

dont wana thread jack but can someone explain why the lt1 radiator is better than the ls1 radiator? never heard that before

The plastic on the passenger side of it was cracked. Probably could have fixed it but one crack means another may pop up and seeing as a new one was less than $150 with a lifetime warranty i figured i'd just get a new one.

cam swap wouldn't allow me to get the car running tomorrow
But you make a good point

Has more surface area, the ls-1 is more than enough for even strokers. But the lt-1's can be had for cheap and they have two extra holes that aren't usable for ours that make great drain plugs.

Since the LT1 wasn't an aluminum block they had slightly larger radiators, it's almost a direct swap and offers more cooling capacity

and its cheaper

time will tell

And my wheels are for sale

[innerchi89]

Im with c5z28 cam is the way to go. Especially when you have a beater. You wont regret it.

[cammed goat]

Nice pickup Tater.

Once you get the hood painted, you going with just the factory look, or blackbird stripes?

[tatertot91]

Would love to, but i'm gonna enjoy it the way it is for now. That extra cash feels good in my pockets. Got the car running and it runs great. 2nd and 3rd are real slow going in.

Thanks, probably gonna go stock. The black wheels break it up enough for me, don't want to overdo it.
Might have to get around to ordering some stranos, the eibachs are a little low in the rear for my taste.

[Blackbird WS6]

why you selling the rims?? i would have then PC black or something b/c they are badass rims none the less, swap them on the car and see how you like them maybe you will get use to them

There's an idea i haven't thought of yet
Gotta keep rollin!

[cammed goat]

I agree with keeping the rims. Take the black ones and put DRs on the rear for track days. Hey...Luos does it.
