Mirage (Re)build thread - Jerry

[Blueovalz]

Interesting to say the least. The LS2 crate motor I bought for my Mirage had 1500 miles on it, and was pulled back out of a '62 'Vette because the owner claimed the power was causing stress cracks in the body. He wanted to go back to the lower-powered gen I motors. I scratched my head on that (heck, put smaller tires on the back then), but it ended up being a good deal for me in finding a carbureted LS2 with the MSD ignition controller. I've been a Ford man all my life, but the LSx motors changed that after I finally got my hands on one and looked through the internals and it's machining and build. They really are great pushrod motors, with gobs of power, cheap to get lots more power, and lightweight.
