haha, i saw this picture on canada.com and thought i'd put a caption to it ...



i know i know, it affects us all, and in a way we're probably getting more owned since most of us buy 94 octane gas (which is usually 12 cents above the display) but i dunno, it's still kinda funny pic

11.5 Compression Ratio. that's kinda high for the box in the sig (lol, j/k dude).

i guess u must have some good all motAAr work done to it. care to share?

GinoBeats

Ah doesn't matter what I drive, have been around for years and always lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it whether it be parts or actual work or whatever. Anyways yeah its a fully built 3400 3.4 from an '04 Impala with 400 miles from the yard. Completely disassembled her and just waiting on a few parts so I can put it all together and drive the car. Cam just came back last week. Just a few pics here, lots more work done. I had the 3.1 last year fed by Vortech that I dropped in a couple of years ago as well as changing it over to 5spd a couple of years ago as well. Good motor I built then, Some of the older guys might of remember the first swap from the old Costco meets. I sold it to a guy in the states and since then has got it running and is enjoying it.

goneinsixtyseconds

yeah! you better be sorry, this thread was about gas prices haha, jk ...

who cares, i was bored and made that pic, but if u wanna discuss your car, it's all good ... it's funny cuz for a second there, in the first pic i thought that blue cover was your bed ... now that would have been hardcore .. sleeping with your engine beside you

Ah... The old school GM pushrod engine... Everything is better with more pushrods!! (Except gas mileage and performance)

ricernoob

ahhh, i knew it you would have a sick setup. i can tell by the look of your 2nd gen in the sig, very clean and purposeful look. 04' Impala V6 plus high compression, cams..... WOW, can't go wrong with that. :thumbsup

i'm guessing this beast is going in the second gen.? the only way this combo gets better is if u had a first gen. some people have made those look really clean and badass :thumbsup

If there was ever anybody that would sleep with his engine next to him it would be Ginobeats

whats your gas prices in toronto? Here its 94

GinoBeats

Nah no time for clubbing in a while, too much work and getting cars and engines ready for the season. But yeah she is going into the cav, it'll be the quickest setup yet that hs been in the car. Can't wait to bring the car out so I can drive it, I was chilling at a timmies last night and talking to a few people almost made me puke by the massive amount of bs they were talking. Oh yeah I couldn't care less if anyone dislikes pushrod engines, GM, etc, Anyways good luck with everyone's projects, should be a fun year

AMEN Brotha pushrod

Red Liner

hmm....my new intake sits on my coffee table fully assembled (TB, injectors, the works).....looks pretty cool.

my new rad is in the kitchen with my guages....my new MAF is sitting on my computer table next to my guages....

so ya, slowly getting the parts....like u said GinoBeats, its gonna be a great summer.

GinoBeats

For sure man haven't seen your car in a while, But yeah she's coming together, the entire delay has been from Wiseco who now won't be shipping the pistons until next week or if shipping is a bitch I'll head down there and get them myself as they are only in north east Ohio which is a 4 hour drive (almost same spot as the yard that I bought my engine from) So she'll be out in less than a couple of weeks, can't wait to hear how she sounds this time
