i got on here to list out the mods that I have in mind for my gt when the motor goes. I wanted to know what you guys thought of my ideas, combinations, what i may need, what i may have forgotten, etc. My GT has 75000 miles on it and ive 2 years left on the lease. By that time, when i go to buy it, i believe i will be ready to go the extra mile and get a loan for a few more greenbacks to replace the motor. I have been looking for possible motor swaps, and I believe that DSS has the one for me in the 5.0 stroker modular (forged internals, the whole 9) long block. I want to be able to use my current exhaust setup, so i wanna stay with the 2v specs. So I would have that motor, magnaflow o/r x pipe, magnapacks, then here are the rest of my ideas: shortie headers, kenne bell 9# blower (i assume it comes with mass air meter, fuel pump, etc. please correct me if im wrong) and my mind just went blank...ill remember the rest in a second. What do you guys think so far...

any opinions? well, i guess i was really trying to have a few questions answered. I was going to get long tube headers, but ive heard that shorties are better for sc applications. The sc intention also has me choosing 3.73 gears over the 4.10s. Am I correct in what ive been lead to believe?

Well the plan sounds good, but if it were me, my money would to to Tim at MPH. They do great work with their shortblocks and the now sell and install KB blowers. I dont know how close you are to Georgia, so that may be outta the question, but other than that, Ive heard to still with the stock rear end gear. The KB is instant torque so traction is hard enough with the 3.27. Good luck

thanks for the input man! i appreciate your advice. I live in columbus, but not georgia, ohio. My father in law just purchased an awesome motor from dss, that is what got me doing the research.

i think you plan sounds pretty good, similar to what i want to do.

however i was wondering if you could answer a ques. for me since you are reserching dss motors.

i was also looking to have my engine built by them or have them build me one.

the motors that they build, are they emissions legal?

you know what adrenln...I never thought of looking that up! But i guess that would be important to find out. Let me see what i can come up with...I would assume that anything would be emissions legal assuming you would have the appropriate measures taken in the exhaust aspect (catalytic converters and the such), but i am the wrong person to be making those kinds of assumptions.
