Default 99 Z28 LQ4 swap

Figured better late then never to start one of these. So here's the deal, I have been working on this slowly for about 5 months now. I have a 1999 vert Z28 6spd. It started with a simple head/cam swap until I found out the cam bearings were done. So I pulled the motor to get them replaced and it snowballed from that point on. I now have a LQ4 that is built and ready for some boost!

Motor specs:
bored .030 over
LS9 7 layer gaskets
CNC P&P 317 heads
ISKY cam
Mahle flat pistsons
Eagle H beam rods
ARP rod bolts and head studs
Pro Flo XT intake mani
42# injectors (just until the i get the rest of the turbo set up)
136# injecotors (for the tubro set up)
Aero 1000 fuel pump

To go along with that motor I have a Tranzilla T-56 with a ACT twin disk clutch.

Other purchases since the snowball started:
Moser 12 bolt
Tubular K-member and A arms
Sub Frame Connectors

I have been taking my time with this as there was no rush to get it done quickly wanting to get it all done right. I should be getting my motor back from the shop fairly soon. Getting the motor balanced and one last look over by another set of eyes. Once it will be install time for hte motor. Everything is in place for it to be dropped in and back on the streets.

Will post some pics I have later tonight of the car and new motor and everything.
