Still got that LS6 cam and heads laying around?
Yes I do, I have been slowly porting the heads, and I'm still not sure if I want to run the ls6 cam or not...I need to pm pat G and see if he can set me up with a cam that increases both low end and all around HP

I have a 87' 2wd ram that im seriously thinking about an lsx swap in it. Hope you dont take offence to me wanting the idea. But would you be willing to send me some particulars with the install? Like what radiator did you use. Mounts. ect. Love this build. I think its time to retire my 1978 360 thats in it now. Its had a long hard life.

Mine is in the tune, comes on in 4th gear at 40mph, and shuts off at 34 mph....seems fine even though its not hooked up to the brake switch

No problem, I used a OEM Camaro radiator I bought from a member here. the motor mounts are for a s10 ls1 swap so there is a TON of adjustability...Look through some of my pics, you will see the motor mount setup

LOL, yeah I hauled my buddies 2009 R6 to the track , he ended up going 11.2 @ 122 I believe. Overall a very fun night, lots of people I knew showed up!

The truck is very fun and I am proud of it, its came a long way. The quest for 12's won't be hard I'm sure.

Just wondering how all those Dodge douche canoes over @ RCC that were arguing that a dodge should have a dodge engine feel about Dodge being owned by Fiat now. Kinda changes their argument.

The 60e Has been fine since I built it..I offer high performance builds for local people in my area...I have my build in my camaro, my truck, and many others running 350-550 hp...

If its a stock 60e you will run into issues, be very careful on who builds your trans..its easy to install the wrong parts or miss a few on a true high performance application..
