I love my street sleeper, you'll think I just got a pep boys noise maker on the back till I put that bitch in 2nd.
So I wound up selling the Emanage, just didn't need it right now. Running the blacktop head on the silvertop block with a 5-spd LSD tranny. Couldn't drive it for a while due to a leak at the rear water inlet caused by a creased gasket, which I flattened and used sealant to close off. Also the VVT Solenoid on the front of the head got bent during the swap, so I had to wait on a new one. Now that I'm driving it, the exhaust sounds deeper than before which is much appreciated. But theres always a down side, the water pump on the new block is dead, and I can't use my old one off the blacktop so now I have to wait for a new one and who knows how long that'll take to find. The wheel sounds like a damn supercharger when I hit wide open throttle, and the radiator got extremely hot(about blinded me when I released the pressure on the cap).
Will post new pictures and a video soon...
