Title: Lakester for Sale
Post by: jimwebb on November 07, 2019, 10:17:02 PM

I guess when it is all said and done, I'm a truck guy. I have another truck under build and need some space in the shop.

This lakester still holds the G/FL under the previous owner and is a sound chassis. The car has been lengthened
about 4' and IRS added to the rear. It was a solid suspension car before and the front still is. Includes a Speedway quick change, Liberty air-shifted 5 speed, and Ecotec engine(s). Engines are unbuilt, but all the parts are there including an Eagle crank and rod set, custom CP pistons, custom cams, and lots of other stuff.

One block ready for assembly with fresh sleeves
One block ready to receive sleeves
One block used for fit up that can get sleeve R&Rd and be used
Two heads worked by Bates that were CNC ported, spring oilers added, combustion chamber supports added and set up for bigger valves.
One of these heads was then re-ported by Self Racing to improve flow even more, has valve job and valves/springs installed.
One set of competition rocker arms and solid 'lifters'.
At least one set of head and main stud kits.
Cam gears are adjustable.
A third complete, stock head.
An additional stock complete engine used to test fuel mapping.
A set of GM piston oilers that can be retrofitted to any of these blocks.
The billet Bryant crank is one of the original built for GM's performance project. These are extremely rare.
Venom intake & fuel rail plus a custom fabricated intake.Several throttle bodies.
Custom header with Jet Hot coating.
Big Stuff 3 ECU with basic wiring harness.
Nitrous system.
Weldon fuel pumps, dry sump system with new tank and Weaver pump.
MSD 7AL ignition, MSD distributor and crank trigger.

All this is top of the line stuff and all ready for some TLC.
With the combos here, it is possible to run G&F, blown & unblown, fuel and gas - 8 classes.
Tons more stuff go with the car. Wheels, tires, etc. etc.
I've easily got $55K in this excluding tons of labor. I'd like to get 40K but will entertain offers.
PM me on this site for best response.

Pictures?  Folks will want to know what they are buying.... Does it still meet all the rules?  Will it require updating?

Stainless is a harsh task master. Here is one pic. AFAIK, it should pass inspection from a safety standpoint. We did add extra bracing to the cage. Since the car was extended, new sheet metal will have to be bent from the cage to the back. More build pics at nutsracing.com/lakester

Adding to what Jim posted: this car handled well in all track conditions. One thing it needed most was a suspended rear end and Jim fixed that. This is a car looking for someone who wants to set records and enter to Two club along the way.
