Full ss interior.

Engine/trans:
Going to stay with the 4.8l for the time being, but plan on doing a 6.0l eventually
T56 trans
Trick Performance turbo kit
PT7675 Turbo
isky triple 12 cam
comp Dual valvesprings/pushrods
Arp headstuds
Ls9 gaskets
Bosch 80lb injectors
E85
a bunch more but thats on the list for now. Taking care of all the exterior stuff first. but anyways.. here she is as I picked her up yesterday 2004 75k miles-

first thing I'm gonna start on is selling the system out of it. it has a blow through :bleh: and I'm not digging the bed cover so they will be sold along with the wheels too. Stay tuned ;)
 
:happeh: another 5 speed! :crazy:

Plans sound good dude! Looking forward to following this thread.
 
Sucks you had to sell your nnbs, but good to see you have your priorities straight. Like everyone else said, should be a good platform to start with. Looking forward to le build.
 
thanks for the support guys. gonna be a slow process but I can't wait to have this thing done. I decided to do the performance stuff first cause a lot of people in my area are fast and I want to win some races lol. Bought this guy today :D

This thing is going to be fast as fuck.

hopefully she runs good. Haven't decided if I'm going to do the t56 trans or just do a 4l80e. stalled autos are the shit but driving stick is soo much fun :boobs:
