Never happy with anything we do, we took our 656 hp 427 and did some re-engineering. Added a little more stroke, some better head and a redesigned camshaft. I think it turned out pretty dang good.

features

Va Speed sleeved ls2 block 4.125 bore
Manley 4.100 stroke crank
Manley 6.125 rods
Manley forged pistons
Va Speed Ls7 heads
Va Speed ported Fast 102
NW 102 TB
Custom cam (230's intake lobe)

 

dang what kind of headers are those? pretty sure we'd never get anything like that in anything that came from the factory with an ls engine in it haha. torque is crazy.

 

graph is smooth. Looks nice.

 

Dyno headers

DAMN nice numbers!! What do you think this would put to the ground behind a 6 speed?

 

ya i figured that much. just curious what they're worth over a more commonly used header design. i'd guess quite a bit on an engine that size.

 

i really can't say what their exactly worth, but it can't be much. We only lose 80 hp or so when putting one of these into a vette. That's std headers,full exhaust, complete drivetrain.

 

it would depend on what kind of car, header and exhaust design, rear end, gear ratio,tire size etc.

in a vette- probably 630+

in an f body with a 9''-600 maybe a little more

With the change to LS7 heads, what C.R did you wind up with?

 

Bet this thing would run strong in a 2800lb camaro! Great numbers.

 

Very nice. If only I had more money.

 

Pretty f'n stout indeed!! Nice work guys...cant wait to see what you can do with a few more cubes

 

That is very impressive results. The cam is only a 230 duration? Am i reading that right? Great work guys!

 

I would like to say thank you to shawn and ed at VA speed. I purchased this mill for my wifes 2000 ws6. it started out white with blue stripes. I posted a couple vids last fall of her whipping some doughnuts with the stock ls1. over the winter it revieved a complete color swap. tripple black with gunmetal stripes. Purchased and installed a MWC 9inch with all the goodies. Viper spec t-56 from rick at RTK transmissions. all new interior, audio and I have on order all the rest of the driveline components and front end chassi and supporting pieces. Im excited to see how this performs. Its my wifes car so I wanted it to run smooth as close to stock as possible. She likes the "pretty stuff", but you know Im going to drive it too. she is nervous, but I told her its just like the old one.lol. throttle controll is everything. I dont have any, but I can drive. Ill post a video in a couple weeks when the car is finished. I cant wait to see the look on her face when she hits it. VROOOOM! It was my dream to be able to build a car, it was my dream to be able to have top of the line components, and do it right. I personally wouldnt have done it with a ws6, but I built the car for her. My dream to do these things means nothing if you cant enjoy them with someone, so together, we will enjoy it. I like the saying "this bird eats snakes"

rinkle walls and clutch dumps comming this summer!!!

Sounds like a great build Blake! Good luck with its completion....cant wait to see the vids, too .

 

Nice build!

 

yes,the intake lobe is in the 230's. This thing has a very mild idle. We had it idling at 700rpm on the dyno with no issues.

 

no problem Blake- thanks for letting use do this build and get a little creative.
I can't wait to see this in the car.

 

low 11's

 

Nice work guys. Congrats on the results.

Cubes work. I am hearing good things about those heads too. Idles great for a FAST. Very smooth.
