i believe it was still a 4.6. i've seen a spec sheet for his car and don't remember anything that added displacement.
and a stock jmodded 98 trans as well.

Nuff said.

the 4.6s are nice, 5.3 like driller would be a dream lol. would definately want my 4.6 supercharged kooks headers, cobra intake, true dual exhaust. i can't wait to get my 17'' cobra R's.. gonna look sick!!

Remember the iron block weighs around 70 lbs more but it more than makes up for it with the added cubes. FWIW, most S/C setups add weight also. I doubt the 5.3 would be noticed as different from the 4.6 by anyone but the most astute observer. Any supercharger is going to be a lot less stealth. LOL

and then if you start adding things like an intercooler or a meth kit or something, the weight goes up even more.

after the show pimp my ride i wouldnt drop a bicycle off at west coast customs. just sayin.

 

[chadly]

Agreed.

i think overhaulin is better, they don't dub things out and make it ridiculous, don't get me wrong despite that wcc makes alot of things dub'd out and huge rims, crap like that, it takes a lot of talent all the work they do to those cars, overhaulin makes the cars nice and clean, nice power under the hood all the time too especially when they do older muscle cars, saw it last night, a father got his 69 chevelle restored, nice rims thrown on, audio system, 610 hp engine, over 740ft lbs of torque, thats nuts!

I worked in LA for a bit and saw a couple WCC cars in person. It doesn't take a lot of talent to polish a turd. They do a LOT of cover up. Add carpet here, build a box in front of this, cut up that, all just to cover up previous damage. I give them a little credit because they pick the crappiest cars.

I think "Pimp My Ride" may have tarnished WCC's image. Watching the newer show, "Inside West Coast Customs", displays a lot better quality and style for the cars they're doing now.

I do agree about Overhaulin' but that show has been in reruns for several years now.

I remember watching Pimp My Ride and I thought a lot of their custom work was cheesy. If they did some of the things to my Lincoln that they did to some of those cars, I would literally cry at the revealing moment like the rest of them, but a lawsuit would quickly follow. LOL

and then if you start adding things like an intercooler or a meth kit or something, the weight goes up even more.

No, if the car is on meth it loses weight LOL Sorry, that was bad.....
