Nightmare the Impala: History and Build

Just picked up my new project. Looks great. Found out, he has (or had) one of the fastest all motor LT1s and that his name is on the fastest LT1 list on here. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...4ded64018e.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...6e336a7055.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...765002f016.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...49ea07b603.jpg

Awesome... and congrats!

Today consists of cleaning out the garage and finding a spot for this project. I should be able to knock a couple things out today. I can take off the EGR and Air Pump, and then start tearing it down and cleaning all the stuff I need to sell off of it.

Got it unloaded off the trailer. Have it sitting on the floor for time being. Unbolting the trans and getting it ready to ship to CPT and then putting it on the engine stand this week. Should be able to get some small stuff done with it like this, still.

Sounds like a plan man...

I have most of the part numbers, and I'm ready to start ordering stuff for the build. Lloyd helped me out a bunch! I'm ordering a cam from him in a couple weeks! I also purchased some aluminum heads this week and they should be here late next week too! Milling them to .020" (Lloyd recommended) and polishing them. Other than that, it'll basically be a cam only car with minor head work. I'm going to have a local shop port match and polish my intake too, and probably my throttle body to save some dough for the valve train and Yank stall.

I also forgot that I will have another LT1 to build on after I pull my current one out, so I'll have even bigger plans for that engine. 396 anyone? Anyone? ;)

You cant go wrong with LE, I just get amazed every time I tune an LE setup, the HP and TQ is always flat as a board, this makes your car pull like a beast.

And if you have a le setup tuned by @MoeHorsePower, invest in good tires, because traction becomes an issue
