Been awhile for me. Sold the LS Monza. New car is 1976 Datsun 280. Bought an LS3 from Katech. Has forged Mahle flat tops,ARP head studs. Made 480 hp@ flywheel with stock cam. This is a used motor from a road race car.With the GM 525HP crate cam it made 550HP. Has leakdown between 8% to 26%. Plan is to freshen up and add a cam,dual springs with titanium retainers. New pushrods. Looking to try the new Holley dual four medium rise with two Holley 465 mech secondary carbs. A T56 from Liberty Gears with an aluminum flywheel and double disc clutch. Either a 9" Ford or 8.8 with 4.56 gears. Cutting the floor out and building a round tube chassis. Not sure about tire size yet. 275 or 325 MT ET street drag radial.
I hope to be around 2600lb.
Any thoughts?
Good to be back.
