So guys im thinking about selling my ls2 to get a iron motor for a little extra durability. And also so i can afford some more parts.
If anyone has a 6.0 tron block for sale local or wants to trade plus come cash hit me. my ls2 has around 12k miles on it. And had eagle h-beam rods with arp 2000 bolts.

Are you sticking with the ET-Streets? If so I think you will be fine the section width on the 28x11.5 is 10.7 wide and the 26x11.5 is 12" wide.

I am out for Thursdays for a wile, I am a high school and competitive soccer coach and the summer competitive season is starting back up now. But please post if there are any Hooters parameters or BMP!!!!
