He gave me a catback exhaust but its really really loud gonna have to get some welding under there
Ya, what do you expect for $1300, i'm surprised he didnt take that LS engine and b16 tranny out and use it for his new car. That LS was in really good shape.
You'd be crazy to take the LS out and put in a b16, you'd regret it the minute you drove the car with a b16 in it. Going from a torquey engine to one with no torque will make you sad.
Boost it, he made great power with a very basic turbo kit.

Steve, sounds like you've got quite the project on your hands now. I'd like to see this thing when its all done and going.
