Default Picked up my new Va Speed Turbo-Ready LS2 motor...

Thanks to Shawn for putting up with my crap to freshen up my motor

Only parts reused from last year's motor are the block, pistons, crank and heads. Of course, the block and heads are totally revamped for this year



Changed to a full solid roller setup with T&D Shaft rockers



Major changes:

changed from hyd to solid roller
Proper connecting rods for the power level
Pinned mains
Partially filled block (hardblok)
Hand ported the ET225 heads to flow up to .700" lift
Custom head gasket setup
changed from vic jr to super vic intake

damn is that super vic tall





only about 1/8" from hitting my ws9 outlaw hood

front one was my original pickup point for my vacuum pump...bad idea...sucked ALOT of oil New point is on the DS valve cover

back one is for my vacuum gauge so I can monitor vacuum pulled on the motor...
