Well... The Impala's LT1 gave up the ghost yesterday... So I'm stuffing a 383 stroker in it.. Specs are as follows: 383 forged LT1 stroker w/ 11.0/1 compression, stage 2 aluminum 643 heads w/ rocker rollers and 5 angle valve job, comp 503 cam, 1 5/8 long tube headers, 3,200 Phoenix stall converter and 3.73 posi rear end... This setup is pulling off high 11's in the 1/4 at 118mph... It will be a stop light terror... Who wants some?

Service Advisor at the Cadillac dealership I went to today was telling me about his Grand National. Said he would part with it for ~$17,500 and it's in "cherry condition" (in his words.)

I thought I remembered you were possibly looking for one as a project.

You got all that room, just slaps some turbos on it and be done.

The whistling taxi... That would be hilarious! I've already gone waaaay overboard on this deal.. Good thing I don't have a wife to talk me back to my senses... None the less, this thing should be a lot of fun with 450hp/500tq

It is pretty funny that Dallas Performance can build a stock block Corvette that will out run a 1300hp Viper from 60-130;)

From a stoplight you might be surprised.. On the hwy or from a roll, I'm guessing you got me covered.. It's not as heavy as you think! 4,000lbs stock and it will be losing about 200lbs by the time it is finished:D

Imagine my heartache when even you four-doorers are waxing me. :slug:

Now you know why I pimp this site to the SMART and Prius forums.

I tried to keep it as quiet as possible.. It still sounds like a nascar with a bannana in the tailpipe. Still trying to get it on the dyno to do the final tuning on it.. It is definitely a lot of fun though!
