In the end i'll be getting a Tune by www.Wait4meperformance.com

Here's some pics to get started-

 

Sounds like it shoudl run well..

Did you paint all the brackets, block,ect.. Looks good!

 

nice looking parts! you building that in your living room?

 

Thats not a livingroom hlaalu, its a man cave.

 

hahahaha thanks guys- covers/alt. bracket/etc is painted silver. the block is painted to match the WS6.

On a side note, that ******* i bought the block from on here sent me the wrong main caps! wtf!. So my guy is going to line hone them. Engine should be done from him mid next week .

on a side note he has a ls6 block in the shop that a kid brought in last sept. to get a piston/rod fixed and when he came back amonth later to get it he didnt show up with any cash. my guy told him to come back when he had cash. it's been sitting in there since november since then. he just wants his labor out of the block and anyone can have it i think i may be picking it up

i'll prolly end up selling it.

 

you can say that again!

i'm seriously drooling over that block, it looks so pretty

 

haha

and Thanks lol.

 

minus the motor you are building almost exactly what i am planning on doing to mine!

MOAR PICTARS!!!!!!1

 

I'm just throwing this built one in the ws6 for now. next winter i'm either going to build a 454lsx or procharge my ls1-lower the compression, get a custom grind cam, and a smaller stall. Leaning towards the procharger.

I wanna get a 01-02 SS Camaro for a DD (boltons/spray). But i have a 08 Chrysler 300 for a DD right now. lol

I'll have more pics by the end of this week, I should get my heads tuesday and my block back by the end of the week

 

looking good, what # are you aiming for

 

Thanks, and High 400's on motor and spray, well it'll be a suprise lol

 

Heads came today Thanks guys at TSP!!!
Milled 59cc.

 

Hoping to pickup my motor today or tomorrow! more pics will come

 

Very nice man.

 

Thanks

Well I won't be getting the motor back this week. Will be next week for sure. anyway i orderd my lifters/rocker arms/ls6 pcv.

Debating on what Headers to get, Ceramic Pacesetter's or LPP Stainless Headers. hmmm

 

well plan for this month is to get the block back(pay my guy the $850 for all the machining/balancing/rotating assembly put in/all bearings put in/cam in and degreed).

I have lifters, new cylinder head dowels, and rocker arms on the way.

Get my cometic cylinder head gaskets .040 .
ARP Head Studs

get the cylinder heads on the block, buy a pushrod length checker, then buy pushrods, then get the valve covers on.

that's it for this month. slowly but surely it'll get done.

 

where's the fast forward button in this thread? lol.

keep up the good work. sick build.

 

I wish their was one, unfortunately i have 3 car payemts, credit cards, personal loan, and school to pay for lol. fml. to be honest, i'm way ahead on the build than i though i would be by now.

and thanks, maybe i can sneak in the ls6 pcv this month

 

yeah i feel you, i just payed off my credit card, had some tickets i had to pay, still gotta do defensive driving and still owe my school some money. and i was so lucky i was able to pay for my car all at once. no car payments FTMFW!

 

haha I have to do defensive driving too, i'm tearing these credit cards(2) up once their paid off lol.
