I'll probably rattle can the bay nice n clean, and reprimer the exterior until the car is completed.. And yes, th400's are cheap and effective still. A good converter should run only 4-$500 max compared to the 4l80's 8-$900 converters. I can live without overdrive.. Engine wise, all it'll get is a set of LS9 Hg's, either ls9 cam, or customer grind, studs, and valve springs. 4thgen bottom ends are good for alotta of power. Any input on having to chop up the auto trans tunnel?? Rear end limits?

LS1tech has a thread advertising s475's for 699 shipped

If only closer =(

Morning everyone, Just thought id share the little progress I have made since I just started my JY project Picked up an 88 (AUTO) roller with 84k for $500, and finally started tearing her down.. The goal is to go as quick as possible, for cheap as possible. And without too much Fabrication. Bare necessities. And a sick tail streetcar/sleeper It'll be a slow long build, but id like it done this year.... A close buddy of mine, and I just finished his JY4.8 Single Turbo GTO Build ourselves.. Made 787whp on 17lbs.. Hence my motivation.. Picking up a 4th gen 4.8 tomorrow for $500, plan on running a th400 trans, maybe an 8.8 swap, and a Borg Warner S475/S480? The Kicker: I think I can pull off a 9sec street car build with a budget of ~6k Need a few inputs from others if possible, Sorta doing the build blind. Which universal motor mounts have u LS swapped guys used? its not necessary to do the 240 R&P swap is it? Think its possible to fit a 400 in an auto trans tunnel? Possible the stock IRS can handle ~700hp+? Cheers. wish me luck

really wish you were closer

BUMP

Bump for a West Coast roller

Nice car, I forgot to mention I need something on the west coast if possible... Not looking to travel or ship a car thank you,

Sup guys, Im just tryna dip my feet back in the water here, I figure after breakin the stock turbo 335 record, im on to a new proj. tired of beatin on this thing.. Im coming back into the starquest game, and im coming with a vengeance Long story short, I wanna build a 9sec starion JY 4.8/5.3, glide/400, 8.8/9inch, Big turbo street car And my goal is to do this with a ridiculously SMALL amount of $$$.. per bragging rights, ect, ect SOOO with that said, im searching for an AUTO ROLLER (bigger trans tunnel) Pref a Starion dnt need anything drivetrain related, just wheels to roll the bish If anyone knows, or has any lay'n round please let me know... Im in no rush, but please I hardly come on here, so quickest way to get ahold is through my email crdavis088@gmail.com thanks for readin

Interested ^^

Define a LOT of power please? lol Im shooting for ~700 through a th400 What are you planning on using for tranny mounts, driveshaft ?

sweeeet! Any pics sotty?

Awesome! Any more pics? I plan on a jy 5.3 boosted motor soon and I'm kinda in the dark as far as mounts, driveshaft, rear end, ect. What's ur plans or do u have any more insight? Thanks, Ryan

Im trying to stay southwest, or local. thanks though, And pics Sotty? Isnt there a guy in vegas with a yard full of starions?

Soo in the next couple weeks i'll be looking to pick up a shell for my build.. Im doing a single turbo v8 with an auto tranny, What im looking for: Clean southwest rust free roller, Widebody No drivetrain Pref. an auto (bigger trans tunnel) straight body (paint doesnt matter) Decent interior (black?) Pref starion Cheap =) Either in AZ or Vegas (gotta buddy who can pick up for me in Vegas) lmk, Thanks! Ryan,

This. And beware what kinda head/combo you run.. A buddy but ls1 heads on a 4.8, and somehow he was slapping the piston.. =( least we think it was cause of that so far

No worries... I am def interested, But im in the middle of moving $$$... If you still have the car mid/late next month I WANT IT!!! Otherwise I cant take it off your hands right now unfortunately Ryan,

Im interested, However, I have no need for any misc drivetrain parts (exhaust, ect), I just need a roller

Ya I remember Cinquest back n the day... Cant even find those vids on the internet anymore... =( we'll see, I got a buddy who can get me 5.3's for $320 =) 317heads would be nice with an ebay 76mm (proven) LS motors are notorious for Cyl-8 Ringland issues under boost But thanks! I didnt know the Auto trans tunnels were bigger Some guys are making 900+ on Junkyard 4.8's and 5.3's

Whatsup Starquesters... Checkin back in, and I got alot on my mind! I sold my old Starion about a year ago, and I want to be back in one... Since then, I've been rolling in a 335i turbo BMW for quite some time now... Ive got it in high 11's at the moment, but im maxed out Heres my YouTube page of her puttin in work http://www.youtube.com/user/Rd335iaz?ob=0&feature=results_main Anywho, I wanna go faster.... SO i got a off the wall swap I wanna do.. The G54B is too hard to make fast.... Never again SOOO.. I want to start my next build, and I was curious if its been done before, Im thinking a 5.3 Truck engine, Single turbo mated to a 4l80 tranny in a gutted Starion.. Shooting for low 10's maybe 9's. Junkyard motor, ebay 76mm, craigslist tranny, shell, fab work, and misc parts Im shooting for a 6-7k Budget inc. the shell... Fast cheap unique frankenstein build... If anyone knows of any southwest shells ill be in the market in the next month or so.... What you guys think =)
