New from Florida - 1999 Cadillac SLS Engine project
My name is Phil and I have a 99 SLS project (It needs a new engine kind of project).
I love my cars, I have three Mustangs and my Wife has a 97 Camaro and will have the SLS to haul our little girl around once I get it running. I am in the middle of a major build up of my 03, It is getting a fully forged aluminum 4.6 with a big Pro Charger (F1 or F2) and a big stalled auto. It will should have 900-1000 RWHP! My 95 Cobra R clone has been my DD lately. It has an Iron blocked 4.6 with an Eaton blower and a T56. Just this past saturday I ran my best time to date, I went a 10.89 @ 129.9. It is very impressive considering that it has stock heads, cams, and intake, with a stock eaton. The 88 LX has a home built 331with AFR heads, a small cam, and a Vortech S-Trim supercharger. It makes 485RWHP and 481 RWT on a very conservative tune. Once I get the suspension dialed in, It should run a mid to high ten. My wifes 97 Camaro is currently a V6. BUT, it will be getting an engine swap once I get the Caddy running. I have an lt1 and a six speed to drop in it (and everything else needed to do the swap). She will drive it with mostly bolt ons for a while, than the heads and cam 383 will be built . It was origionally silver, but we painted it the same color as my Cobra. Dark Shadow Grey looks hott on the Camaro! http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...x/100_1773.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...x/100_1692.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...x/100_0823.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...x/100_0807.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...enomousdsg.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...x/100_2930.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...x/100_2931.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...x/100_2927.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...8draglites.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...draglites2.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...x/100_1693.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...coupecobra.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...x/100_2458.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...x/100_2460.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...x/100_2462.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...x/100_1656.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...amilyride2.jpg The above pic is the day I picked the car up.

Going by your track record, are you doing superchargers on the STS ? |

I would love to retrofit an Eaton off of a newer STS-V, but all I am wanting to do is put a running engine in it. I bought the car very cheap knowing that it did not run. I tore into it and found a cracked cylinder liner. I dont plan I buying a re-man engine, I would rather pick up a good block and build one myself. |

ORIGINAL: stomper A cracked liner? how did they accomplish that feat? I'm not sure, I bought the car without ANY knowlege of prior history. I just could not pass the deal up. I found a low milage take out from the same year SLS. I think that I will be picking it up this weekend. |
