how much and where can i buy one?!!!

 

$50,000 for a W2W motor.

 

What did your motor cost, Stealth?

 

I'm pretty sure stealth/stealth2 only cares what the motor costs so he/she can bash it for costing more or putting out less power than a 632cid bigblock dual dominator motor from Jerry Bickel or something. Whoop-di-doo. With some carefull planning this motor could go into some Manaro or vette or something and the dude can drive it around at 10-15psi and 700hp, then turn up the wick and run 160mph in the quarter. Recall John Meany's vette?? He could probably get away with powersteering, a heater, a decent MPG when he's out of boost.

 

You're a jealous turd, and it shows.

 

50K my ***. It doesnt cost that much to build that kind of motor.

to have W2W build it, and supply the parts it probably comes a lot closer though.

When you can do things yourself, it doesnt cost outrageous amounts of money.

I built A WHOLE CAR that was capable of 8 second passes (and it will be proven late this season) for under $50K. My old Dart block based SBC, with good parts, a full certified cage, fully built drivetrain to handle the power came in around $35K-$40K and the only things I had "farmed out" were the transmission and roll cage. The rest was built by me.

Is that 1500 hp? No, but it was a 101mm turbo away from it. (It had a PT88)

That was THE WHOLE CAR.

I sold the motor. Its in a friends car getting ready to be tuned by Lee Howie, and it WILL run 8's in a 3400 pound car very soon.

At least then, I can feel better about my rant here at least.

 

Stealth(2). Lets take a cruise around CO in your LS1...wait....does it run right now? Lets take the BBC firebird...wait...won't be driving that on the street anytime soon.

All I'm trying to say is that its foolish to break EVERY LS1 thread down into $. You obviously have spent a great deal on your's, yet you bash it every chance you get? Weird. I say you put an SBC in the Camaro and then your crap with be justified. Remember, everyone's different......................turd.

 

Common...spill the beans...

How much $$$?

I'm doing good man. Took old engine out (2k SOHC) so I could make more power hopefully without breaking the old stocker powder coated roads NO more stock stuff for me. I went to the forged stuff this time around and am starting with 13-15 pounds of boost. Time will tell how she does. I have around 400 miles on her right now and it idles/drives like stock although it's a real turd on low end --- top end is a different story with the billet blower cams. I know I know... still small cubes but I'm hooked on the modular junk hahahahaha.... glad to hear all is well and we gotta hook up again sometime in the future.

Cheers,

Looks like youve got that thing running pretty good by the dyno numbers in your sig! That kicks ***!

I havent been out that way in a while. Your still in Pasadena huh?

 

$15,000.

 

stealth is just pissed because DRE probably raked him over the coals to build his motor, and he wants to make sure that nobody ever paid less than he did for a 1000+hp LS1 motor

 

yah, thats sick, very sick!!!

stealth is not pissed at all about W2W, and I feel confident that the owner of the 1560 hp motor paid a lot more than my $15,000. You know nothing about what's transpired between me and DRE on my LS1 motor. But feel free to post all the bs you want to at this site if it makes you feel better about yourself.
