I would love to do some weird motor swap for sure. But i havent gotten shit done. Have a conncussion feelin dumb cant think straight gonna be back to business in a day or so i may have to go with a 5.3 if i cant find a 6.0

The plot thickens! I seriously suck at making these pictures, wish someone good would hop in and contribute.

As for the sharknose, mock it up with cardboard until it looks right.


Engine wise you could get an LM7 for cheap, with a big cam and stroker kit you can reach the mid 550's to the tire with the aforementioned mods.



edit: Or 2jzge swap it with an R154. A good condition R154 can hold around 500bhp, and a good nick 2jzge with a thick MHG to lower the compression and beefier head studs is good for around 500 to the tire reliably. Plus, 2jzge's are plentiful and cheap, the R154 wouldn't cost over a grand if you get a good deal. Run it with the stock ecu and tune it with a Greddy EMU to keep the price down.

I guess im gonna learn how to do bodywork and sheet metal guys. Probably gonna fuck some shit up. Gonna be fun though

[jazig.k]

YES! Huge turn around from the donk! This would be fucking awesome!

[Dngrmouse]

Fuck yes i actually dig that. Thanks for the photo shop lol im still trying to find a motor thats not 2000 dollars. I have a few forms put in at the local pick n pulls and such so when they get a 6.0 in they will call me. I guess its time to find some wheels and order the eccentic bolts then !

[R2dmax]

YESSSSSS!!! Do that and big horsepower!!! That would be sick!!!

Keep it simple, some nice fitting mad tyte jdm wheels, blast pipes, duck bill chin spoiler, and a sharknose would make this thing really unique.



Make it like a ginormous boso cressida.

I seriously don't know where this is going. At first I thought you were just going to mod it in an uncommon way, now I hear that it's going to be a big HP build?

Ive never really noticed that it kinda does look similar though thats kinda cool

Hahahah i just might. I will be doing some uncommon mods but if im gonna build it its gotta be fast this thing is so unbelieveably slow. I just havent been able to decide exactly what i want to do to it ive got a few ideas floating around my dome piece. And i would make it a big ass boso cressida just to piss people off. Thats a good idea.

Trying to find a 6.0 chevy. Idk if i should just turn it into a straight line monster or make it like pro touring ish. I know itll never handle great but i can make it better than it is

[Dngrmouse]

Im boring as he'll too.

[Dngrmouse]

So incase anyone even cares im doing it. Gonna make it nasty. Scouting for a motor i think i found eccentric bolts that will work to lower it. Im wanting atleast 500 whp when its all said and done.

[rice4life]

Yeah i would to. This thing literally cant get put of its own way. The 301 was like the worst motor ever made. But pontiac did put a 400 in it which would have been cool. Im just trying to find a motor thats worth putting into it.

Fuck man, I meant pontiac

I get this thing and LTD crown vic from the same era mixed up because they look so similar.

LM swap it! You can get an LM7 for around $600, port the heads, throw in a cam, ls6 IM, and longtubes and have a high 300hp engine for sub 2 grand.
