Big improvement over stock! Nice work.

[@intheshoptv]

Right? Yet… It IS stock lol.

[@N8z14]

Have you ever thought about getting into powder coating? You always make these cool little brackets for everything and imagine how nice it would be to powder coat all that stuff.

[@intheshoptv]

Many times! I think Im hung up on the oven part of it. Its no problem with these little parts… but I know I’ll want to powder coat every single thing which will undoubtedly lead me to building a bigger oven, then a walk-in oven, then a whole new building. Yeah… Im that guy.

[@N8z14]

@@intheshoptv I have seen guys fab up home built ovens which are cool. Big enough to fit something like a hood in or a motorcycle frame. Gotta start somewhere right? Anyways, was just a thought after watching you make tons or brackets throughout your build series

[@intheshoptv]

@@N8z14 Yeah, I probably should get into a small hobby set up. Or make friends with a powder coater at least 😂

I am doing a swap in my 03'Crown Vic Police Interceptor. Ls3/6lL90E. I want my brakets and accessories black as well. I like the blacked out look. Yours looks really good. I just finished my bottom end last night at midnight. Now I need to start getting parts for the 821 heads. I can't afford to drop $10 grand on an ls3 dropout, and I didn't want a 5.3. I would have gone with a 6.0, but a 6.2L L94 block fell into my lap for $500. SOOOOOO Ls3 it is lol. Ls3 flat tops and a BTR RedHot cam, and I'm on my way. I have a ways to go.

[@intheshoptv]

Sounds like a pretty good plan to me! And total score on that motor!!

[@Clappedoutprojects]

Looks clean I was going this route on my lq4 till I pulled the heads and it was gross now I’m going all in new rebuild 😂keep the vids coming lots of good info here

[@intheshoptv]

Will do man. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching

[@truvuehomeinspections2397]

Dude! That fuse block bracket!! Shit looks factory.

[@intheshoptv]

Ha! Thanks. I got a little carried away with all the shaping.
