just got a P-51

[SaleenGT2001]

i just picked one up off Ebay for $550!! i wasnt going to get one but i couldnt resist the deal. i guess i might as well build the engine the right way the first time!

How much are they new? I think that is such a good looking intake... Does it offer any gains N/A? or is it primarily for Blown applications?

Damn better hope you didnt get shafted and it's F****D up ..none the less GOOD luck and nice steal if it turns out to be good... Anyway hows the engine build comming along.??

. Good deal

 

[SaleenGT2001]

the guy has 100% posative feedback with over 400 transactions. i hope everything is good.

the engine build is going but it is going slowly. the rotating assembly is done but the heads still need to be ported and the old engine still needs to be finished being unassembled so i can give it to my buddy. all the parts have been ordered so now its just a waiting game. i'm not really in a rush b/c i still owe about 1K and i have a cruise coming up in about a week so i have all my money put back for that right now. i want it up asnd running by the end of march so i can make it to the track when it opens up. i REALLY miss driving the car but i'm not gonna go broke trying to rush things

they are up to $800 new now. they will give more power to a blown engine but are good for a NA combo too. prob not worth the price tag if you are NA though.

thanks! That is what I figured... I have just seen a couple of high HP cars getting these recently. Good luck with the build. You should have it ready for next summer I hope!

Congrats! Post up some pictures when you get it. I have started to take mine apart for powdercoat. Are you going to leave it alone or coat yours too?

 

[SaleenGT2001]

most likely leave it the way it is. i am planning on polishing the P51 logo on top.

how much is the coating gonna run you? i'm guessing you are just getting the top section done

[smokin00GT]

Nope I am having all 4 pieces done. It looks like it will be $220- $250 because I am doing all of the prep work myself.

 

[SaleenGT2001]

thats not too bad.

i MAY look into getting it coated

 

[smokin00GT]

Ha Ha ok, just don't get black. We will have the same exact car after it's all said and done. Pretty much you have all of my mods, and I want the saleen body kit
