Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics ACK! It's been so long since I've been here, but Marty you have to tell me what brand those seats are! Something like that would be perfect in my GT

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics Yeah, how many of those do you have left lying around? :lol:

Re: LS1-Sonoma GT build (updated with pics) I know mine came with a split window as well.

Re: Is a 7.50 Syclone possible?? Err, yeah Jake Montgomery. My bad. Always in a hurry. I have respect for him as a driver, but he's not the smartest guy. He would've lost his car last year for illegal racing, but it just so happened that he blew the engine up against the guy he was racing...

Re: Is a 7.50 Syclone possible?? Oh, gotcha. Didn't know you were talking to me. :lol:

Re: Is a 7.50 Syclone possible?? I doubt Jeff in Nampa will be running his Eagle out at Firebird much anymore. After he finally broke into the 9's he was issued a citation for not having any form of roll cage. Now, I don't know if he's changed his mind or not, but last I heard, he refused to...

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: That was amazing

Re: Is a 7.50 Syclone possible?? Sorry, I'm a bit late to the party, but Marty, could you elaborate on "9 Sec GT" please? Is this a member or a truck I haven't heard of before? Bad memory, ya know. :lol: Speaking of, what about us GT guys? We like to build fast trucks too! ;)

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics Looks good Marty! Been awhile but now that I'm back it makes me wish the ground was solid enough for me to start working on mine again. I'm eager to finish!

Re: Which engine would you choose? I'm working on finding an equivelent complete carb LSx series motor that has comparable stats to the Motown creations. I've found some long blocks which might have to suffice. I'll be calling the GM performance divison in Milton-Freewater, Oregon soon to see...

Re: Which engine would you choose? Isn't that everybody's dream?

Re: Which engine would you choose? Lmao. I've looked into shoehorning one of those in too. I think the list of how to do it was just as long as the list for Marty's Bed/Cab alignment mini-project. :rotf:

Re: Which engine would you choose? Haha, I researched that one a long time ago. Too bad that's a 30,000 dollar setup!

Re: Which engine would you choose? Actually, both of the Motown engines are smallblocks and I know the 454 is based off of the GM Pontiac 400 small block. Maybe the 427 is too.

Re: Which engine would you choose? Have you seen the tires that are on the back of the truck? :lol: The first goal is a solid consistent low 10's. To be different/difficult I suppose? I am my father's son and I like to pay homage to the classic LX series back in the day? That's one of...

Alright, there's a lot of options on the table right now for which way to go on the truck. We know we want it to be carburated/v8, but we're having a hard time picking which engine and whether or not to lower the compression and go boosted. These are our main competitors. If you have another...

Re: Sonoma GT #737 Project Underway *UPDATED!* Thanks, since this is my first project, it's taking forever but I'm sure it'll be worth it. My dad's actually trying to convince me to lower the compression on the motor and put a large single turbo in, hahaha. I told him if he paid for it, then...

Re: Sonoma GT #737 Project Underway *UPDATED!* Yeah, the tabs weren't bad to fix, it coulda been done at home if I had a welder, but I don't yet. *laughs* I haven't gotten to test the suspension all the way up and down yet but it's something tha't I'll do soon whenever I get a whole day to...

Re: Sonoma GT #737 Project Underway *UPDATED!* Wow, it's been a long time since I've updated this thread, but I'm long overdue so here goes.... :lol: After a really long night roughly a month ago my comrade and I were able to pick the engine and tranny out and put it on a roller When dad...

Re: LS1-Sonoma GT build (updated with pics) Hey Taylor, Before you begin to remount the bed, make sure you check all of the mounting tabs for levelness. I just ran into this problem on mine after they remounted the bed. Both sides were welded at just enough of an angle that they can't shimmy...
