Little bit of an upgrade. We will see how it helps. Needed brakes anyway and I got a smoking deal from a friend.

1LE rotor or just a drilled/slotted direct fit? Guessing direct fit by the caliper pic

Direct fit

Too small ��

looks great mike. Got me a motor yet? lol

we usually don't agree on anything, however I must say too small too.

[ruckusz28]

The oe needed to be replaced and I got a full set of these along with all new hardware for the real for under 300 bucks. No complaints here

[Gregs_gsxr]

not bad, but if we ever had a stopping contest, I would win.

[ruckusz28]

I'm more concerned at the moment at getting it mobile lol

Speaking of which, I may have located my transplant. Fingers crossed. Waiting in more details to make sure it's not a vvt engine.

I like the word, "frugal'. It means cheap, but sounds more regal.

I'm a connoisseur of the deals.

Let me know if it works out for you. I do have an original gen1 LT1 shortblock in good shape, but I couldn't let it go cheap.

Hey, nothing wrong with cheap. I wouldn't have my car right now if I wasn't cheap! But "frugal" does sound better.

I talked to Gary last night and we worked out a deal. I pick up the block next week. From what it sounds, I should be able to upgrade the valve train and spin it up to 7 grand. We worked out a "frugal" price. You were right, he's a super cool guy. Oddly enough, he upgraded to the blueprint stroker that I was eyeballing. This won't be the final step, but at least I can drive the car while i do build a monster LS after I finish the dodge.
