Alex after all the emails I am glad to see you got it. Way to go. You make it sound easy.

John welcome to SL-C ownership, you have one of the most talked about SL-C cars out there. I am glad you found out what Sl-C ownership is all about, it is an awesome car and a lot of fun to drive. I wish you luck in the track days and hope you all the best in racing. That is a real good looking...

The point is the asking price, at least he is trying to keep the price above the 100,000 mark, so good luck and I hope he gets it. There are enough cars out there to finally start to see some for sale. I say you are going to have to sell several before the price is starting to get set.

Alex, go to Summit Racing and get a brake system bleeder that pressurizes at the master cylinder. I think it was around $140.00 or so. It clamps on to the mastercylinder and you pressurize the cylinder then go through the proper sequence for bleeding. It is the best way you will get the brakes...

My engine bay is hot and we are still fixing leaks from the engine bay to the operator compartment. I have had to wrap all essential lines around the headers and all the fuel and oil lines in the close proximity of the engine. However the car when running down the road stays cool temp wise for...

I watched the beginning of the auction, first impression there were not many buyers, it seemed more like a local auction we see here on Friday night. Second I wonder how many people bidding were dealers trying to pick up a good buy. I did not think after the first ten cars sold that the car was...

Checked out the link, the car will auction tonight between 7:35 and 7:54. I will be tuned in just to see how many people bid, and the going price, also to see if there is a reserve. I liked Allan's build better.

Way to go Allen It really looks great, love the interior, great job. There has been a big discussion on value of the SL-C, this is a good example of a well done car.

You have to consider that not all people want to build a car or have the capability to build a car. If you have a buyer that wants a SL-C and is not that mechanically inclined then that person will be very limited to the availability of a car for sale. The pricing for this car used is not based...

Alex, I burned a piston at the number 7 cylinder. I took it to the engine builder I am using now and he said this was a common problem with the LS7. He put on aftermarket fuel rail and rerouted the fuel lines. It made sense what he explained to me, the fuel rail comes in and Y's, the back...

Troy I bought my coolers based on size, I figured you can not have enough cooler on a hot day. I use to have fans but took them off. The coolers are located in the side vents of the body, I built duct to bring the air from the side ducts through the cooler. I have some experience with air...

I am agreeing with Mesa, the build is all what the car is. I want to straighten out one thing, I bought the car from Ernie at Breathless performance, I did it for several reasons. I could have bought a Ferrari or a Lambo but the SL-C just drew me to it where I just had to have it, to me it was...

I had been lucky 3 times getting pulled over. Our county police lost their radar permit for a year, I did not find out till the last 2 months or so. I was taking my car to the shop and I kicked it down when I turned onto another road. I only ran it through second but was doing 90 mph. I looked...

Why is it that every time I take out my car, some one on a bike wants to race me. I would love to give it a run just to see, but I do not want to get a ticket because we will not stop at just 100 mph, so all I can do is shake my head NO. I am just not liking being that responsible. I will race...

I would like to thank you guys for the oil pressure questions which started my quest for info. I changed the oil and put in 10W30, my pressure when it finally got hot 185 deg oil temp, the pressure dropped to 63 psi idling. When I go to the synthetic I know I can get it down below 60 psi but I...

Alex if you still want to get into your engine at a later date, my builder took about 2 months, and is one of the best for reliability here in Atlanta. I can tell you ,I never had a say in what he was going to do, he insisted here is what I will do and only that, I told him how much HP I wanted...

I know I have thrown a kink into things, I talked to Ford about the problem when I was dealing with it, they told me the bushing was the way they use to do it , but converted over to the bearing and is now what they offer. The part number is 7600 and cost $18.00 . I have brought this up because...

The lip I am referring to is done when you machine the flywheel. You come in from the opposite side from where the bushing is pressed in. When the hole is machined the hole does not go completely through, there is a small part about 1/16' or so left. This gives a lip for the bearing to stop...

Alex you will probably appreciate the change because the car will be more drivable and not as risky. All that horsepower makes the SL-C a real handful, you cannot stick the throttle you have to roll it on, I think you will enjoy the new engine almost as much. Mine is pushing 545 RWHP with 475...

Also I think you had to machine the flywheel for the bearing 7/8" in from the gearbox side. This is opposite the side the bushing is installed from. A lip will be in the flywheel to hold the bearing from going all the way through. Check the depth to confirm it is 7/8". You can do that by...
