THE Build Thread
This is the beginning of a build I have been dreaming of doing. I will keep you guys updated as I go. Please chime in with recommendations if you have any. I am not an expert by any means!
The car is a 2001 camaro Z28, it has 31,000 miles. It's never been rained on. Before you think I'm crazy for tearing into this thing, my Dad has a 72 step side Chevy that we are going to transplant all the existing parts into. It's gonna be a badass truck.
My block is an Lsx. Gonna make it a 427 and throw a turbo with e85 at it. Then maybe a 100 shot of Nitrous just to get me over the top. The plan is 1000whp.
It's not gonna be nearly as hard as I thought.
Here is the block, billet caps

Just put in my order to Huron for their V2 T6 single turbo kit. Got the s484 billet with the race housing. Also ordered a 4 stage dry sump kit from Aviaid. I will get pictures up as they come in. Talked to Kevin at Midwest chassis about building a rearend. Also gonna get the K member, front bumper support and roll cage.

What's your guys recommendation other than stock or truck coil packs for a high boost e85 motor? I looked at the MSD stuff, just not quite sure what route to go.

Still doing some research on the efi system. Going to a 58 tooth though, so everything has to change. I'll take a look at those coils though. Thanks!

Running 9:1 Mahle anodized piston. Callies dragon slayer crank and rods. Working on a cam now. When I get the numbers I will let you guys know. Waiting on ARP at this point so we can start machining the block. As stuff comes in I will put pics up!
