Pretty smart Albert! That list is very accurate, With the failing economy I doubt there will be very much on the list sponsored, Ive only seen 1 built motor with a Techco leave that shop and it was Rons, It took 3 months I believe and left with a Very Very conservative tune. Should at least be very interesting to see this project thru its completion, Only way I see it going down without a hitch is if CTP gets involved, There the masters of the motor upgrades from r/t to srt or v6 to srt or whatever. Im gonna be watching closely. Still waiting to see and hear Envied's build come thru and he runs the track so look for real time data from him.
Thank you... I seen you and heard you.... LOL ( your car that is) Got all the parts... Photos of the job will be up soon.. BTW it's getting a paint to......:thanks: I new to this LX thing.... who is CTP??
And 1 of 3 folks that has ever done the swaps, Learned everything the hard way to. Hopefully your folks have there ducks in a row.
I've also talk with someone else that did a 3.5 to a 5.7 name George... So thats two out of three.... LOL Time will tell my friend:grin:
Cam works?!?!?! I didn't know he had a job. :grin: I like you guys, "I got a blower but it didn't fit quite right so we had to swap the motor".
Thank you for being so kind!! Hey guys, I just want to say thank you for all of your input. Any advice is welcome!!! Please no hating I'm new to the LX world but been in the car game all of my life. I’m just like a sponge..... Ready and willing to lean for you all...... Here is a little Bio about me... (little LOL, ok a lot) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiQU...8D1B127B&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=33 Kenneth “Flex†Wheeler Known to the bodybuilding and fitness industry as “Flex,†“IFBB Pro,†or “The Legend,†Kenneth Wheeler was born August 23, 1965 in Fresno, California. After experiencing and overcoming numerous childhood and teenage setbacks, Wheeler sought refuge in martial arts training which later evolved into bodybuilding. Referring to himself as a “martial artist first†Wheeler holds black belts in Tae-Kwon-do (Korea Kukkiwon) and Kemp-kwon-do. After a brief career as a police officer and amateur bodybuilder, Wheeler earned his pro bodybuilding card at the 1992 NPC USA. From there his bodybuilding accomplishments have been unmatched. He holds the Guinness Book of World Records for the best professional debut of any bodybuilder. These feats include 5 Ironman Pro Championships and 4 Arnold Classic Championships. Additionally, his physique which was known for its near perfect symmetry has been victorious at other shows including the France Grand Prix, South Beach Pro Invitational, Night of Champions and Hungarian Grand Prix. Throughout his 9-year career as a professional bodybuilder Wheeler competed in 28 shows nationally and internationally, placing 1st in half of them, 2nd in nine, and not less than 8th in the remaining five. Wheeler retired from bodybuilding in 2002, just 2 years after being diagnosed with the rare, but aggressive kidney disease Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Since his retirement, Wheeler has remained active in the bodybuilding and fitness industry. He continues to train as a martial artist. He is an exclusive contributing writer and photographer for Muscular Development Magazine. He hosts MD Radio (www.musculardevelopment.com/content/blogcategory/116/186/ <http://(www.musculardevelopment.com/content/blogcategory/116/186/> ) and The Flex Wheeler Radio Show: Ridin’ Shotgun (www.musculardevelopment.com/content/blogcategory/118/189/ <http://%20(www.musculardevelopment.com/content/blogcategory/118/189/> ) which recently debuted in April 2009. The latter show offers Wheeler the opportunity to discuss a variety of topics in a no holds barred setting. In 2006 Wheeler partnered with All American EFX (www.aaefx.com), one of the fast growing premiere supplement companies that prides itself in supporting the “natural athlete†movement. Wheeler serves as Co-Owner and Director of Media/Public Relations with a company that guarantees all its products are 100% pure, potent, and drug free. Wheeler’s passion for educating athletes on the healthy alternatives to pharmaceutically enhancing physiques has been demonstrated through his new natural supplement line Flex Wheeler Signature Series (FWSS), which launched in early 2009. Additionally, Wheeler is CEO/President of Team Flex Wheeler Worldwide, LLC. His founded company promotes bodybuilding and other sporting events, training services, publications, automotive and motorcycle events. Kenneth “Flex†Wheeler’s life was chronicled in his revealing 2003 biography Flex Ability: A story of strength and survival. He continues to travel nationally and internationally working as a motivational speaker, bodybuilding representative, liaison and ambassador for a drug free lifestyle. He is a spokesperson for Nephcure Foundation, which promotes research to find a cure for FSGS. He also remains a car enthusiast. Wheeler resides in Morgan Hill, California where he enjoys spending time with his wife and children.
