Good to hear that they have some satisfied customers. Ive been reading alot about their stuff on LS1tech.com and the only thing that people really tend to complain about is the price. But, you get what you pay for! I was actually surprised at the actual cost of the system. Turned out to "only" be $4100... I was expecting somewhere in the $5-6K range to be honest

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius

HAHA, thanks man! I only have 31 days remaining on my deployment and she is gonna get some work done... Long time coming too. Time to get back spooled up on prepping myself.

Ive been spending alot of time just trolling around here, growing envious of Mike(67cheby) and Eric's(superflysteiny) builds. Time to change it up! LOL

Wow, Im sorry that I missed this post. No updates on the interior. I have a real good idea of the way it will be finished, but I need to get the chassis changes and engine installed first.

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius

just read your thread. Thanks for your service overseas!

Sucks to here all about your wheels, but looks like it will work out. Can't wait to see what you do with the interior. Your Dad nailed it on the outside.

Thanks man! I ended up not re-ordering the wheels, however that will have to be done in the near future... Im more focused on getting the front clip off and crossmembers test fit along with the engine block. That way, when I am gone on my next trip in mid feb I can get the engine work done and possibly asslembled

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius

Mission accomplished today! Thanks to the help of my awesome fiance, we got the engine and stock crossmember removed. I cant believe the improvement of this crossmember compared to stock. Just simply beautiful!




Outta there! and up for sale, tell your friends...

Maybe tomorrow I will do a test fit with the dropmember...
