382 Progress
Progress! Alas slow progress, but progress none da less...Hope to have this in and running in the Vert Mid June...
With some luck Cartek will have it in the car and running for shakedown runs 4-5 June @ Englishtown N.J.
Wont be worried about the stock shortblock no-mo. Sticking with the LS6 intake for now so I can use Daves Plate. Perhaps next year upgrade to a Fast 92 and new Plate system. Plan on staying two stage Dry/Wet. Goals Mid to high 10's on spray, Mid 11's NA. Tuned for the crappy 91 Oct we have in New England.

Trick Flow® GenX™ 225 cylinder feature refined combustion chambers to retain stock compression ratios, fully CNC-machined and bowl-blended combustion chambers, 225 CNC-ported intake and 80cc exhaust runners for maximum airflow. Lightweight stainless steel valves, 1.300 in. diameter high lift valve springs, titanium retainers, and ductile iron valve seats.
According to Cartek I was not able to use reuse the ARP LS1 Head bolts, needed to go w/ the ARP LS2 headbolts.

Still slow progress, getting parts, waiting on new starter, the block did not have the dowels for the bellhousing, should have those Wednesday, which is when I go back to work (rig is now w/ BP and @ the Horizon site, we will be running the riser on the next collection effort).
Anyways...
Here we lowered front suspension to prep going in through the top...
Here is Rocky, my buddy's dog... we were fixing to put the motor in the top...
Course, just after this...we figured out the block did not come with the dowels for the bell housing...
This does buy me some time to perhaps get an FAST intake/90mm TB setup...
New break in and track time guessestimate July...should be @ Englishtown. Cartek doing the tuning.
