We have a complete build thread on LS1tech.com, but thanks to P!ssBucket extorting big money to host pics, I decided to start a "light" version of it here using Imgur.
This is a father/son project that we have been working on for 4 years. My son Joe owns So-ILL Speed & Sound in Carlinville, IL, and once a week we do "shop night" to get personal projects on their feet. This started out as Joe's street car that he had swapped an LS 6.0 Liter into a few years ago. It was a nice starting point because it was far from a show queen but still solid enough to use. Long story short, a driver, wife, and two kids do not fit in a single bench seat. We are using his original swapped motor and trans for the drag car, but we have turned the wick up some.
Here is the basic run down.
ENGINE
LQ4 with katec rod bolts, melling oil pump, double roller timing set, comp mutha thumper cam, cnc'd ls3 heads, comp 918 springs, vic jr carb manifold, proform 850 carb, msd 6010 box, and edlebrock headers.
TRANS
turbo 400 with manual reverse valve body, trans brake, 5500 stall PTC torque converter, and a B&M ratchet shifter.
REAR END
12bolt, with strange axles, c-clip eliminators, spool, 4.33-1 gears
WHEELS AND TIRES
American Racing Salt Flat Specials 15x4 & 15x8 with 26" hoosier front runners and hoosier 28-10-15 slicks
If you are needing any LS engine work, or Chassis work from a simple roll bar to a full on frame and cage, shoot Joe a message at [email protected] or check him out on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/so.illspeedandsound/
Joe is building this 272" Top Dragster for himself to compete in NHRA Div 3. Been a couple of years in the making because customers and life gets in the way.
