but i cant imagine that being cheap

The supercharged 6.2-liter V8 in the forthcoming Chevy Corvette ZR1 cranks out 638 horsepower, 604 ft-lb torque. Top speed 205 mph.

Are you trying to imply that a 16yr old with that seems to have large amounts of spendable cash keeps breaking stuff.....mmmmhh......I dont believe it.
Sorry KX but when i was your age i was broke and i had to work for my money so...i had to take care of my stuff since.

that was after several hundred in work...
new topend, new piston, new rings, new wires and plugs...
and after weeks of work i put it together and the gearbox caved and seized together.
i had no choice
however, i did clean it off and made $750 parting it out...

hey, stfu
my yards barely full... its like 20%... max
and the caddy's going on the road next week... everything else runs
and, i was just at the shop, he said he would charge roughly $1500-$2000 to do the swap and he can get a discount on an engine cus hes a shop or sumthin... i think im just gonna throw another lt1 in it, most likely a rebuilt one. he gave me a # to the place that he buys his from.. cheap and good stuff, but im still not gonna do anything to it til the end of winter. like i said, its useless in the snow, i dont want the obnoxisous amounts of salt used here to eat the undercarrige and im short on cash to boot. so its now in my yard (i know, i know... stfu) im gonna take the wheels off tomorrow and put it on blocks, wrap up the rotors so they dont rust over and throw the "new" engine in come spring.
