My Abandoned Corvette ZR1 Gets A 1000HP ENGINE!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- I bought the CHEAPEST Corvette C6 ZR1 in the country! It's been sitting outside with no engine (and half it's body panels..) ever since...
With 120,000 miles, this Vette has been through it! So when I pulled the heads to find the LS9 in need of some serious work, it may not have came as a surprise, but the wait we were about to be in for shut down the project for over a YEAR..
Now? It's time to get this C6 ZR1 back on the road with a TON more power!

RIP KEN BLOCK 43 FOREVER
What’s that got to do w this
Who?
@@burntsilverado how do you not know ken block he’s a rally legend
@@saidiagiri779 never heard of her
@@Freddy_Confetti just for likes weirdos I tell you
Ive been waiting for this day for so long and now its here!!!! I cant wait to see this build finished. Im glad it finally got in. And i cant wait for the porsche to be finished aswell.
Almost forgot about this build! Seeing the new mill in it with that super charger top is sweet! Lotsa love for the Plastic Pig.
The fact you did this all in one video got me to subscribe and love the content! Bout to binge the Channel
Love that green cornwell toolbox. Someone has good taste in tools
My man Lee!!! I’ve been waiting for this for so long. Thank you for not forgetting about it.
Love the jorts, white New Balance, and horrible button up. I am not crazy about the color and those black wheels (brushed or polished aluminum finish would look killer) but that 2650 and modified LS9 will make some SERIOUS POWER!
Good Evening Dalt, I HATE NISSAN JUKES
One of the days KOLLIINN!
RIP KEN BLOCK RIP we will all ways love him :(
I love that you dressed the part! Can't have a corvette video without the shorts and newbalances!! Love the phone purse!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great teacher hopefully I can learn how to build and rebuild engines from this💯✅
WOW that vette is a beast, best Corvette. Thanks for sharing captain.
Only reason I subbed to this channel was to see this SSB ZR1 come back to life....Totally ready to give you what you paid for it when you're done. :)
I think I might have that in mods 🤣
been dying to see this puppy come back
Thank you for adding Turkish subtitles. I follow it fondly. Sela from Turkey
@0:33 I have to admire the corvette outfit. Straight gangsta 💯
Happy New Year. Good to see you back with a bang 🎉
Very cool stuff. Happy new year too!
Let’s go!!!! Hurry up haha.
I was wondering what happened with this project! Looking forward to seeing her rip!
I'll say in thing, you have the corvette owner image down pat. 😂😂🤣🤣
There Uuuuuu Go ! Now your going to spend another 5 for transmission to handle that power .
ls7 and ls9 connecting rods are forged titanium, just upgrade the rod bolts and wrist pins. you shouldve told them to keep the stock rods in it because theyre titanium. your loosing a little hp and gaining rotating mass with steel rods
Random recommended channel from youtube…..and here is a guy with the Vette dad fit on😂😂 im here to stay 🤣
Happy for ya man! I’m in the process of rebuilding my supra .
I would trade my E46 M3 for a C5 corvette in a heartbeat 🏁🏁
That shouldn’t be hard if you are in the US, those M3s fetch about the same as a c5 z06
If Dalt ever actually gets the Fd running… he doesn’t stand a chance!
For all the new upgrades should have definitely got you a nice set of Billet valve covers
Should have used blue loctite on those flywheel bolts.. they do back out.
haha balancing that big clutch! I'm a class 8 truck engine mechanic. that's tiny compare to a double disc easy pedal truck clutch heh
That stradman reference 🤣
There was a similar spec flood ZR1 in Punta Gorda a month or so ago. You grab any of the Florida flood vettes?
When you see the new balances just know.....your about to see something great
boyd coddington jr 😂😭
This go be me when I get a new engine for my g 🔥
RPM Motorsports has great combos for these
back to superchargers!
Those stock wheels looked so good; No need to change them.
Those new balances are fresh hahaha
Love these builds. My dream car is a C5
Spin that 2650! they’re dogs unless you throw a small pulley on them. Don’t be the guy with the 2650 making 800wheel 😂
Great content and very entertaining. You should be on Motortrand TV.
thank you for the Portuguese subtitles
The Gucci mane tattoo though 😂
BRR
Wait you have a iPhone 8? Fancy, I’m still rocking the 6S plus.
Great job been waiting on this for a min love the corvette content!!
They didn't use any particularly expensive parts for bearings and rings tho.
I could use some used ls9 pistons and rods 😃 and a sponsor or 2 🤣
Hey buddy I know where a (from looks of it ) an ALL STOCK Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 c6 is sitting and I believe is the same charcoal grey looking color, I believe the owner may have passed away and the zr1 looks a little dusty from sitting but seems to be getting neglected and I have no idea who owns it now or anything but I bet you could get it cheap for zr1 prices atleast ,it's located in triadelphia WV along route 40
I know a guy that wears shirts like that.... Mr. Coddington
The New Balance shoes 😂😂
Fresh asf
1:49 rx 7
Dalt does indeed have an FD project that will make its way back on camera at some point.
LS9 Pistons ,, hmmm I got the ls9 cam, and pulley
My poor 2005 LSA 4x4 Colorodo with ls9 upgrade.
Woaw, slow down.. lol
I’m going to have to come work for you to afford. Got room for a Texan with a big tool box?
Beautiful parts

Hey @scraplife garage what trailer are you using to tow the Porsche?
Confused 47k for that is way over wholesale.. 35k is mmr
Don’t high mark in a snowmobile. Jeez.
I like your shirt!
1000 hp on the stock transmission?

The way he snugs up bolts stresses my out.
Isn’t this like one of the most rare colors?
You totally over exaggerated the New Balances. I never ever seen anyone wear brand new ones. : )
Bro I got 3 project cars about 80% done. I just get burnt-out and the car don't do it for me anymore
Rad shirt
The only time a man says a massive hole is great.
my guy opened up a electric tb by hand............
Idk what's cheap to you but that one car is over my annual salary
Nice touch with the sex offender 7’s 👟👟 😂

Funny how u make fun of belt clips when i just picked up a otter box for my iphone and wearing a belt clip lol its only nice when your phone wont fit into your pocket like a iphone witg a defender case on it its like a brick in your pocket
At least you found the time to find *the* brightest blue brake calipers, if you personally painted (or maimed) them that co,lour, you have problems, buddy.
Hello I'll like to have the pistons I'll pay for shipping

Not nitrous ports, Meth ports
Dammm it's 2023 who's still uses phone pouch 😂😂😂😂
You know how I know you don’t drive a vette!?
@@scraplifegaragehmm because I don't use a phone pouch? I actually do own 18 zo6. But my dream car is a zr1 and lfa
@@jimt5683 wait, they didn't give you the standard issuer phone pouch at the dealer?
@@scraplifegarage I don't if your joking but no haha. But keep the good content going 👍👍💪💪
