Kool. Fast aint it? L.O.L. The very first V8 swap that I did on my own was a 350 4 bolt main 2piece rear main seal in an S10 a.k.a the dimer. After completion when I first romped down on the accelerator jesus is what I screamed out. I enjoyed it for approx 2 weeks and then made the mistake of letting a friend at the time borrow it. he walked back to my home and said he totaled it. The end result was 2 years suspened sentence, 3 years probation and a $2,500 dollar fine. I also had a broken hand afterward.

^^yeah it's kind of fast, sucks to hear what happened to you. A friend has a nissan 240 with an rb25 (skyline motor) he said that I can drive it whenever i want but I never have driven it and never will because of that. I don't drive nobody's high perf cars so nobody and I mean nobody, not even my dad drives my truck.
BTW is your "friend" still alive after he totaled your truck???....................j/k

I use stock front brake parts. I've found moving to disc's out back has GREATLY improved stopping. Its better then upgrading the fronts in all actuality.

I'm with you on that dude. my close friend finished a 6 month 2nd rebuild on his integra putting close to 210 to the wheels na, 10k redline, and gutted so it only weighs about 2400lbs wet. He insisted I drive it and I help break the motor in. Never took it any higher then 2nd gear and 4k on the tach, cant be the one responsible to ruin his masterpiece even though he was disapointed.

Yeah but when you have a 14" rotor and 6 piston calipers, I think it will stop a whole lot better than the crappy stock rotor, even if they are drilled and slotted. Trust me I had put drilled and slotted rotors on my truck and it stops about the same as stock. The bigger the brakes are the faster it's going to stop without overheating and fading, that's my big problem

^^ Nope But I managed to get drivers for my old camera and here's is the last video that I took of the truck. This is how the truck looked before I had to take the engine out because of an oil pressure issue just to find out that I cracked the block but this week I'll be receiving a much stronger block with forged internals
