LS7 Syclone
LS7 Syclone Just putting a quick post up of my project. I will not be updating it a ton as any spare time I have will be in the garage working on the truck. I will be uploading pics on Photorbucket here.http://s266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ndy%20Syclone/
The build is as follows.
LS7 out of a 2007 Z06
Diamond forged pistons
Hand ported the heads
Cut the heads to 67CC
Cometic 0.040 head gaskets
compresson is 11.9-1
Fast 102 intake and throttl body
Stock crank and Ti rods
ARP main studs, heads studs
ARP rod bolts.
comp Cam 246/254 116+5 .620 lift
JP billet double roller timing chain
Stock rocker with comp bearing upgrade
Melling oil pump
RPM oilpan
RPM 1 7/8 long tube headers
Short 60lbs injectors with Fast rails
0411 ECM set up to run 4L80e
Motor dynoed out at 675hp 590lbs and made 470lbs at 2400rpm.
Trans is a built 4L80e with Circle D triple disk converter.
Plan is to drag, road race, autocross, cruze just wear the damn thing out.
I will be staring the install of the 4 link in the back soon and will be taking pics.

I'm gonna be doing the same pretty soon with my Syclone. Only difference is I will probably just go with a cammed motor, then go with a Kenne Bell when I can afford it. What swap parts did you use? Motor mounts, tranny crossmember, headers, etc?

Fitting the pan and system on the truck would have been a whole ton of fab work as the front diff makes it tight. I also highly doubt even on its best day the truck will come close to pulling the G's of the Z06. I am putting a accusump on the truck and if I find I am getting that serious about road racing and getting fast times I most likly will just get a vette.

somre more progress Made some more progress. It goes slow 2 hours a night after the kids go to bed but I am chipping away at it if I do not fall asleep after reading Berenstain Bears.. Headers are in, oil lines, power steering lines, engine wiring.
Tomarrow the tranny and tcase are going in. Then I will set up ride height, after that is set I will pull off the bed to start on the 4 link.
Here are some pics. I uploaded some more pics to the photobucket.
There are more pics at photobucket http://s266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ndy%20Syclone/
You will see my version of a light weight rad support on those pics as well.
HHHHMMMMMMM should I paint the rad black as well???

Nolan, glad to see things are getting going on this swap...unlike mine which is still at a standstill (as you can probably tell since you're still not tuning on mine 
).
Looks like I'll probably be back up that way for a visit come late June (for the races), and will swing by the shop again to say hello... Keep up the awesome work on the Sy!

P.S. Weren't there some parts I was wanting to buy off of you???
