LSxChevelle Pro-Touring Build
The Best V8 Stories One Small Block at Time
Down on vacation in Phoenix and bought some LS7 (C6 Z06) parts. The car had dropped an intake valve and killed #1 piston but no damage to rod.
For $700 I bought the following...
Stock forged 4" crank
Full set of titanium rods and 7 pistons (not using pistons)
LS7 cam
LS7 lifters
Dry sump oil pan
Oil pumpValley cover
Front/Rear engine covers
Cam/Crank sensor (these suckers can add up)
So I will sell LS7 cam for like $100. And I was looking for the lifters for a 5.3 I'm building so that saved me $60 that I was going to spend on used ones.I will have to run a custom piston as the LS7 titanium rods are 6.067" whereas stock is 6.098" and most of the shelf 4" stroker setups use 6.125". These rods also have a smaller wrist pin (.925 vs. .927). And I have a 3.99" bore where the LS7 has a 4.125". I'll go 4.005" which will make a 403". Should be kinda rev happy for a stroker with the lighter combo of crank and titanium rods!
