Longblock finally assembled - with new intake! Well, I finally got around to assembling the longblock for Project Extreme-G '69SS. Snapped a few photos of the new "intake" while I was at it.
MTI 348ci LS6
Wiseco forged pistons
Lunati billet rods
stock LS6 crank
MTI stage 2R ported/polished LS6 heads
230/230 .591/.591 114 Comp Cam
Magna Charger custom "Hot Rod" supercharger kit
Agostino aluminum sheetmetal valvecovers (chrome plated)
ARP head studs
Getting little by little done...

Re: Longblock finally assembled - with new intake! Looking good T Dubya! Especially those Moparistic fuel injectors. Do youself a favor and paint those things black! 
Any reason you didn't elect to paint the block and WP?
I love everything else though! Will look bad *** for sure!

Re: Longblock finally assembled - with new intake! Jason: I have to swap out the front subframe and do the suspension in the car first, as well as weld/sand/smooth the firewall. After the rolling chassis is completed, the engine will go in. Maybe November?
jfm: I'm just looking for a conservative 500-550 rwhp on 93 octane. Not going all-out on the performance potential for now, this car has to be reliable enough to complete the Hot Rod Power Tour next year.
Hugh: I had Madman restore the front subrame, but other than that I'm doing the rest in my garage. Its like a big model kit
Levi: ARE valvecovers, I had them chrome plated
Todd: I elected not to paint the block and other stuff because the engine is hardly recognizable as an LS1 anymore. If I painted the block, water pump, etc.. people might just think its another iron block SBC or something. All-Aluminum looks normal in our 4th gens, but exotic in a classic car

Re: Longblock finally assembled - with new intake! Tony what made you decide to go with a 230/230 cam? I thought on supercharged cars you wanted to go with a split duration cam like a 224/230 cam with a high lsa.

Re: Longblock finally assembled - with new intake! My exhaust setup will be very free-flowing (dual 3" with X-pipe), no need for additional exhaust duration to assist with it. Went with the 230 intake duration to make this sucker LOPE with the blower
