So my 14 FRS died of oil failure, low pressure, and cooked the engine at 114k. Not hotrodding at the time, it just seized up. Also found a blown head gasket and it was very low on antifreeze per...

Okay, how do I get a v8 swap through Oregon in the Portland smog area?

I'm coming to terms with the rev range as I dig more, and agree it's a non-starter for comparison. And the LS3 does spin higher than I expected. I lean to a built IAG block and my SC and E85 and...

I had the clutch opened back up recently, this root cause was the Verus fork with sloppy tolerances. The shop put in an OEM fork and all is well again, no more serious bucking.

I'm sticking with my 14, especially since I supercharged it and it's long paid off. If I bought a later model, I'd move the SC or buy a new one. These cars handle too well not to give them that...

The droids, missed that. QOTSA is one my favorite bands. Look up Desert Sessions if you don't know of them already. If this is a Star Wars reference, I botched it.
