Post by: Trailabite on February 28, 2020, 05:50:03 AM
How safe is it for a white guy? I'm going down there Saturday morning to pick up an engine.

I wouldnt say it was any less safe for a white guy, per-say. But it has a rough side of town. For instance a gas station attendant was just killed on the job last week in lithonia. But at the same time Stonecrest mall is in lithonia and I highly doubt you will be mugged at the mall.

No, it's an individuals home. I figure if the guy will let me come get it around 9am it should safe. I would think that most hoodlums hang out later in the day throughout the night.

I have a friend that lives off a dirt road 1.5 miles away from Stonecrest Mall. He says he feels very safe out there. He carries a .45 in his waistband and usually has something in an ankle holster. The 2 dawgs normally let him know if someone is coming down the road. One of em will lick you to death the other one is just plain mean. He said he's never had any problems out there. (he's a white guy, Harley rider if that matters)
Fill up before you go and take someone with you.

Chuck you’ll be fine during the day. My brothers and I own a restaurant/bar in Lithonia and we’ve survived for 25+years. It also happens to be right down the road from where that shooting happened that Chris mentioned. While the area has changed since I grew up there it has its challenges just like in the Metro.

If Chuck had to ask about the area being safe, I’m sure the vote would be shot down to hold it in Lithonia even for free beer!?

The guy here in Woodstock that builds the Duraburb’s almost always has a couple pull-out LS motors...5.3 and 6.0’s.  I can give you his info if you want.

I think what Chris was trying to convey is, he met the guy & bought the engine @ 9 am.

If I did scoop the LS, I would probably put it in a YJ or CJ

I wasn't going to do it but, the motor was cheaper than buying a fuel injection system.

Did the 4L80 come with it?

If not, you might want to consider a th400 if it’s just a trail rig

No it didn't. Changing over to this LS messed up everything. Now I need to get rid of my current transmission and transfer case. The 700r4 supposedly cannot handle the HP, at least not in stock form.
