Project motor swap
Once Im all healed up, I plan on swapping motors in my Comet. Currently It has an LT1 fuel injected stock motor making about 270hp. I dont like the look and sound of the LT1, as well as the lack of after market support. So, I decided to put my built 355 small block in the car, the motor makes about 400-425hp at the flywheel and has a nasty sounding cam in it. I like the look of the old school hotrod motor under the hood.
This is the motor that is going in the car, I decided to dress it up a little. I put a new timing chain cover, new valve covers,SS bolt kit going on, polished water pump, Gilmer drive pulley system for the mean look and whine. Eventually I plan on putting on the Professional Fuel injection system that looks like a carburator but gives the car the drive ability Im used to now. I can tell you that this little small block shakes my house when I start it. Should give the comet the sound and fell it deserves.
Still a few things to clean up on it..
