Engine Dressup: Billet MAster Cylinder Cap Billet Washer Fluid Cap Billet Power Steering Cap Billet Battery Terminals Engine is original, with 228,000 miles on clock at the time these pictures were taken. And yes, it is still pretty quick, and runs very very well. Gives me 17 mpg going back and forth to work. From the woods to the heart of New Orleans, which means that most of that mpg is city, but 17 is the average daily for it when I take it with me. On the highway, normal for it is about 19 or 20 mpg now, so that's not too bad, even for a newer truck with less miles. A couple years back when I still had my bedcover, it was normal for it to average 22-23 mpg highway, and sometimes even up to 24-25, straight highway, no city. Future plans for this engine may include pullies and an electric fan. I'm not sure though. I may leave it alone and just wait till I get the LS2 02 vette 6.0 I want to go with next. I know for sure we are supercharging the 6.0 along with many other things. The engine swap may be as soon as late 2008, depending on how this motor runs, and what the $$$$ situation is like then. Fast? I haven't raced it much, never on the track. Stayed with(nose to door) a stock 2001 Cobra as it is now, back in 2004. Had about 170,000 miles on it then. Beat a 1992 Camaro RS with 305. This isn't much, but may give you an idea of how it runs. Destroyed a 2006 Silverado also with a 5.3 (stock) this past December. lol I was in my dad's 06 following him in my truck (he wanted to see if the tranny shifted bad with him......long story), and he nailed it at a dead stop. I floored the 06, but all I was seeing was taillights a couple car lengths ahead. He slowed down and did it again at 30 mph (I have a bad slip going into 3rd gear). Same result, but he got a lot further ahead, after he gained traction. (It does spin a lil bit for a couple feet being floored like that) lol When we got back to my house, he hopped out, gave me a look, and said, "I'd take this over my Z28. It'd smoke that car. Damn." We used to have a pair of 1982 Z28s when they first came out. Engine Dressup: Billet MAster Cylinder Cap Billet Washer Fluid Cap Billet Power Steering Cap Billet Battery Terminals

Sold March 22, 2008 1999 Chevy Prizm. My daily driver until the engine quit. 203,000 miles, jeweled gauges, velvet headliner, interior paint, and 17 inch rims. Going to miss this one! 1994 Chevy Silverado My first truck. 4.3 vortec V6, base model. My dad bought this truck brand new in 94 just days before my 14th birthday. When it was just a couple days old, he took me out and taught me how to drive on the highway. I did a little bit of work to it, sound system, neons, flowmaster exhaust, alarm. It was fast as hell for a V6, staying nose to nose with Z28s, and GTs, and once, an SS on the interstate. I had this truck all through high school, and sold it in 03 with 260,000 miles on the original motor and tranny. Still running great to this day with around 300,000 miles on it I would think. 1994 Geo Prizm My other first car. I drove this all the time for about 4 months before I got the red truck. We bought this one brand new as well. It was my grandmothers, so when she couldn't drive anymore, she gave it to me and I used it on a as-needed basis, since it was a pile of poop. lol 3speed automatic 4banger that boasted a pathetic 12 second 0 to 60, and 23 mpg. I got rid of this finally 2 years ago, after it sat in my yard for a year since I got the gray truck and I never drove it. 1983 Camaro I bought this car in 2000 for $675 to bring home and restore. I never really got the time to play with it much. All I ever did to it was get the engine running a little smoother, changed the rims to 80s firebird wheels, auxillary lights in the grille and cleaning the interior up. I wound up selling the car. The new guys wife wrecked her car pulling out of my driveway, and she had to be rushed to the hospital. The car never left my house untill 6 months later when the new owner sold it to my ex husband. Then a couple months later, a pine tree fell on it during a hurricane. I think that car was just straight up bad luck. lol

First interior paint: (March 2003-June 2006) The interior was the easiest thing to do so far. I found I have a decent nack for painting, so I pulled some of my trim pieces out and sanded them down and sprayed them this last time in a ice gray metallic. It doesn't stand out much, but I like how it's turning out so far. Pretty soon, I will be redoing the headliner in it. I'm not sure if I want to do suede or crushed velvet. I did my cars headliner in crushed velvet and it came out very well, but I think suede is classier. But then again, I love the look and feel of crushed velvet. lol Who knows, I'll decide soon enough. My fiance gave me and installed the subs for me. I'm decent at working on stuff, but I have seen too many things happen due to bad wiring, so I let him do all the electric work. lol Future plans for the interior include leather/suede and heated/cooled power seats, a sunroof, the headliner, more billet accessories, tv, and anything else I happen to either dream up, or find online.

Engine is original, with 228,000 miles on clock at the time these pictures were taken. And yes, it is still pretty quick, and runs very very well. Gives me 17 mpg going back and forth to work.
