Hello all,

Normal poster on Corvette Forums and lurker around these parts.

I have a 06 Corvette that I am currently making 700rhp on via a Vortech Si. Over winter I plan on building a 408 cast iron lq4/9 block to handle a YSI spun hard on e85.

This is the block that I bought from summit.

I plan on going with LSA heads and a LS9 gasket and the following items.
- Eagle Forged Crankshaft
- Callies Ultra H-Beam
- Wiseco 4.03" -20cc Dish (10-K456X3)
- Coated Clevite Main & Rod Bearing Sets
- 58x
- Upgraded HD Tool Steel for Wiseco Pistons

Anyone seeing any problems?

What manifold will u be using? Sounds like a stout build..

Just the stock LS3.

Only problem I see is that at that link the block shows as unavailable. I would go with a Callies crank myself but that is just personal opinion. Just installing a YSI on my vette myself. Sounds like a nice build and good luck.

I ended up picking one up about a year ago and have had it sitting in my garage ever since.

For $800--it was better to get it and hold on to it, than run the risk of it becoming out of stock once I needed it.

I know in my original post I had assumed to use a LSA head, but what are some of my other options?
