Thread: New build for the gsx

Nice, just nice!!!

Thanks Dee

Lol ima need help with my build. Time is money and if my car is down than that means i cant make money. Trying to do my build correctly but in the most shortest time

Grab a spare motor. Build it over time. Then plan a weekend for the swap

Why have I just now found this thread.. Jeez I wish my Regal was as clean as yours haha.

I've thought about a spare motor but never jumped on it. Spare 3800s now of days go for about 300-500$ or should i just get a new short block?

I got my motor brand new from Stricker Auto Parts in Batavia OH. They had more last I looked in September as another guy picked one up with less then 10 miles on it as well.

New, long block? How much it run you?

Try eBay or emailing them. Very helpful. FedEx dropped it off Used a pallet fork and wheeled it into my driveway too

Too bad that one was a L26. It'll be fine for your sc setup but id want a L32 or L67 for a turbo setup. Do they have any L32 or L67s?

BTW that black and red setup sure looks good and I don't even like red OR intercoolers but since your using E85 I think ill let it slide.

Unless I see a crusty tube sock in your engine bay, this thread is not worth my time.

damn no kidding. I like your choice. Texas is da shît.
The best part is, I screwed up. I started negations thinking it was Batavia NY not OH. It was worth it shipping surprisingly wasn't a killer.

Sometimes I think you forget entire conversation or people for that matter. You and I talked for weeks about this build lol

Yup I don't recall checking this out after it was all painted up and running though.

+1 for you now just if I could have a car that runs.... FML.... LOL

Whats a reasonable price for a new L67 long block and/or short block?
