Z Reborn
UPDATE: Motor install pics on page 8
This will follow the rebuild of my fallen 2003 Z06 from pretty much the ground up. The project is actually well on
its way and thusfar has been a blast.
My pile of parts is massive and it has come to the point of car teardown and the engine build where parts are ready go back in and the car be on its way to completion.
Begin:
Stock motor gave it up on a pass at the track
My motor was actually being built when my LS6 kicked and I was starting to acquire parts to build it up.
RPM Stage V trans
Dynotech Stage V Diff with 3.90 gears
Pfadt coilovers
Others include
Ram Dual disk clutch
Dynotech Brace
Cartek link lock
B&B Bullets
(It being dark I plan on shooting the rest of the pile tommorrow)
The motor is a reworked 449ci LS7 with ETP heads and all the trimings. Motor should be done in next few weeks but ill get some pics of the process.
ECS is making me one of their driveshafts which will be on its way aswell.
These will be my street tires mounted on 18X12 Z06 wheels
Soon enough....
......Stay tuned

I picked up a full bushing kit from VBP along with diff mount and engine mounts
I got the rear control arms finished up and ill tackle to fronts tommorrow, for anyone planning on doing this make sure you get a ball joint press kit.
