Hey y'all, you're probably all thinking the typical "not another lsx build thread that's gonna die".....not a newbie here, well, not to LS swaps anyway.
Gonna try to keep this intro short. I race drifty cars, work as a mechanic and build LSx motors/swaps. Pics and vids of previous projects.
Driffin' car, this things had simple cam'd LS2 in it, last year was stock LQ9 boosted to 12psi making 650ish whp, then it cracked a ringland, I rebuild it from bareblock with callies/wiseco bits, comp cams ultra gold rockers, etc etc. back to N/A on built motor currently around 450whp.
2012 setup
2013 turbo/rear radiator
Also built this turbo LSx S13 convertible, it weighed like, 2300lbs and was scary at 650whp with practically zero downforce so I sold the rolling shell and put the drivetrain into a truck.

2001 Silverado regular cab shortbed, 2wd, swapped the lq4 6.0l, T56 6speed, mpt70 turbo in, dropped it 4/6, 4.88 rear gear, 265/55/20's, caltrac traction bars, braced diff cover, detroit trutrac locker, etc etc etc. It never hooked, 4th gear at 60mph and it would just spin haha. Made 540/658 to the wheels on 14.6psi.
Few years ago now my father and I also put a LS1/T56 into a 1969 Jaguar E-type. It sucked. A great drivetrain can't make a terrible car not terrible.
If anyone wants more pictures of a build/project or videos or anything just post up in here!
Anyway, I got this 2000 323ci with a rough running motor due to secondary air pump and misc vacuum leaks for pretty cheap. It's a sport edition, seats are in OKAY shape, not great but not horrible, they'll do for a while. Factory upgraded HK sound system, xenons, etc etc.
Snagged a LS2 with spun rod bearing AND T56 with bad input shaft bearing for $1300. Sourced a local crank for $100, have rods in the shop, pistons are still good, gonna throw TSP ported shimmed LS6 oil pump, MS3 cam, PRC dual valvesprings, 7.400" pushrods and 42lb injectors on as well as some nitrous. At least that's the current plan. T56 is off being rebuilt as I type. Certain M3 bits will eventually make their way into/onto the car, BC racing coils at some point, blah blah.
The car basically needs a bunch of small stuff/tlc as it's sat for a while and been neglected. Door handles sucked and it was thrashed inside. Fixed the door handles right away, simply removed the outer handle and bent the metal rod/action lever back inwards towards the inside of the car as years of use had taken its toll and you had to pull really hard and fast to get them to open.
Cleaned the interior up too, took some before pics, gotta take some afters.
Partially cleaned
Holley swap pan showed up today. Mount materials ordered last night (will be making a jig for mounts and headers for anyone that will want a set). Afco Dual pass rad and fan leftover from last years drift car build in the shop. Aeromotive 340lph in tank fuel pump leftover from last years build as well. Meziere electric waterpump too haha.
Stock motor and auto trans will be coming out soon, if anyone wants or needs anything off the stock driveline please PM with what you need and a reasonable offer as it'll probably be thrown into a scrap car to bump the weight up if no one wants it haha. Stock radiator/fans/intake, whatever you need.
Also, if anyone reading has a 5spd pedal assembly with clutch master for sale ima need to get that! Other things I need: stock 5spd shift boot/retaining ring, coupe rear-side window seals, AND a damn memory passenger side coupe/vert mirror that's not half the price of m3 mirrors haha.
More to come soon as a buddy with a 686whp GT500 is causing a ruckus haha.
