'77 Trans Am LQ4/T56 Build..H/C Opinions (pic heavy) Fella's,
I'm a long time member on here however life has put me out of the game for 4 years or so. I've gotten back into it pretty hard lately but wanted to get your build opinions for my project. I've changed motors three times now. First I had an LS1. Sold it, and now have both a 5.3 and 6.0. Bought everything around doing a 5.3 turbo build but now just want a stout N/A 6.0 that I swing some n20 on later.
I need your opinions on how to do the 6.0. I was planning on getting the Vengeance Vindicator cam for it, and keeping the ported 5.3 heads on it with the LS9 head gaskets, but I'm not sure what the hell the compression would be. Need your opinions on head/cam/gasket setups. Lots of people with the 6.0's mill there heads. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Mod list below.
Project is my 1977 Trans Am.
Current List of parts I have are:
Motor parts:
-90k LQ4 6.0(Denali pull out)/ However I also have a LM7 5.3 with a 224/224 cam. I just got the 6.0 because I wanted more N/A Power
