It has a H.O. 305 engine which has 9.5/1 compression and flattop pistons which it came with from the factory. i pulled the motor around 100,000 miles which is what is had when i got the truck, to change out the gaskets and ended up with new freeze plugs and flushed the cooling passages out, installed a mild comp cam which is tuned for high gear ratios which this truck has, 2.73 gears to be exact. was ordered with these and will run 80mph in 2nd gear at 4000 rpms, top end of third is nonexistant lol. gets 18 mpg if driven easy. also installed a double roller timing gear set and new comp lifters and edelbrock performer intake and flowtech longtube headers, all this was done a year ago and now the truck has 150,700 miles. truck shows 50,700 but we all know its rolled over. has completely new cooling system and all new accessories on the motor plus new gearbox and windshield wiper motor and sprayer motor. tranny has seals replaced to stop leaks and i changed out the filter and fluid while i was at it. tranny shifts perfect everytime. new brakes all around. calipers pads, shoes, etc. new seals and bearings in rearend. frontend has been maintained, shocks all around. mcgaughy 2.5/4 inch drop kit, spindles, hangers and shackles. rides exceptionally well even in the corners, hugs the road like a muscle truck lol. everything was installed correctly. dual exhaust and smithy 22 inch old skool glasspacks for that musclecar sound. inside has a sony cd player, new 3.5 speakers in the dash and new 4x10s in the rear with two kicker comp 10 inch subs in kicker ported boxes and a 500watt apline class D amp all from sonicelectronics.com done it all myself(i dont trust other people to work on my stuff cause i want it done right!) lmc lights blinkers brake lights rear bumper billet grille chrome headlight bezels chrome license plate holder and new regulator and weather stripping in driver door. antennae is factory built into windshield so no ugly antennae sticking out the fender. all lights work inside and out, new lmc airdam under front bumper, correct mounting hardware on rear bumper for the smoothie. lowering kit has only grade 8 bolts in it. truck was original when i got it. its a really good jam up truck and very reliable have never broken down once in 5 years that ive owned it. only issue the entire truck has is one lifter has lost its prime and started ticking. oh ya i rebuilt the factory qaudrajet that was on it. it works perfect even has a new fast idle cylenoid for the a/c which does blow cold and the heater will burn you outta there. new door pin bushing kit and strikers to get the sag out of the doors. im one of those people that if somethings wrong im gonna fix it even if it aint broke yet lol anyways whoever gets it will have a great truck, clearcoat is starting to peel the roof but thats normal. its the original paint color on the truck but i suspect its been resprayed once before but according to the sticker in the glovebox it is the original color, trim is original and so is the interior minus the stereo and tach. the seat doesnt even have a tear in it and is super comfy. if you have any questions feel free to ask.

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
