Gary's 65.....Final Chapter

[kwhizz]

$12-13K using all brand new components from GM in their Connect and Cruise Kit (with Warranty).......LS3.....480 H.P......4L70E transmission....Torque Converter....Harnesses, Modules, DBW pedal, sensors...Etc......A good Radiator and fans $600-900 dollars.....Gas Tank and pump...$600-$1500.....That would be the basic package not including Exhaust $600-800......Like anything you can cheap out on parts ......then do it the correct way later and spending all the money you saved the first time around doing it the correct "Quality" way the second time......The one thing I have learned over the last couple of years is that I can't afford the "Cheap" stuff.....LOL.....Then again if you are upgrading the drivetrain on an old car.....that's just the start......Brakes...A/C.....Suspension ,....Etc......
But......I've been there with the mid sixties Muscle car scene........But......Those cars are then, and these are now......No Comparison (If you want to actually drive them).........Just remember.....This all started because of Charley........He was way ahead of the curve...I remember on the first Power Tour we did in 05 from Milwaukee to Orlando.......driving my stock 66 SS 396 Chevelle without overdrive trying to keep up with everyone on the highway at 4000 RPM..........LOL.....
