Well I thought I would start a build thread now. I have been working on this car for 2+ years I had a change of plans about 10 months ago thanks to this section and decided to go FI so I ripped out the LQ4 and T-56 and started over. The car is an original SS 396 car and I have been careful to retain everything to put it back stock if the need arises. Enough talk on to a few pics which I will update over the next month or so as I finish up the car.

The power comes from an AES 410" LSX shortblock with the following: Callies Magnum 3.8 crank, Callies Ultra Billet Rods, CP Pistons, LSA heads worked over by Richard at WCCH, and last but not least a Procharger F1R.

Trans is a 4L80 built to Jakes specs with all 300m shafts and Jake's valve body and brake with a billet 3500 converter.

Let me know what you think it has been a long time coming I expect north of 1000hp and I know there will be plenty of talk about the 4 bolt heads but I decided I would see just how far we can push the LSA heads.

 

Damn I am jealous! I would love to have a 68' Camaro and stuff a powerplant like that in it.

 

What are the specs on the cam?

 

Brute Speed Blower cam FTW!!


Cam specs are:

Dur @ .050 232 int 240 Exh
Lift .595 int .608 exh

Lobe Sep 115.0

 

This thing is gonna haul the mail. Glad to see you made the switch to a 4L80E you will love the trouble free bullet proofness of knowing you have a tranny that can continuously take trans brake launches with 1000rwhp. I am interested in the LSA heads for my new build, what is the price range like on them? I was looking at LPE's LSA heads...

 

The LSA heads can be had for about what you pay for the L92 heads but the casting is much much cleaner I am into them for a litte more because I bought new valves instead of using the stockers. Check out Richard at WCCH he does some awesome work at very reasonable prices!!

 

That combination looks too nice to hide under a hood! Bob

 

At least its goin in a sweet lookin camaro...

Now you need to change your 427 badging to say 410 on the sides of the car.

 

I love the car and that engine has its bling on Whats your fuel setup consist of? AES done my 410 LSX long block. Everything is now at KY-Turbos awaiting its transformation. If you have not checked the thread out yet. Stop in and check it out. https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...-ky-turbo.html

 

Nice Camaro I hope my 68 turns out that nice but I will have about half the power. Very nice.

I am running the largest Accel DFI pump along with -10 feed -8 return lines, I have 80lb injectors to get it running once I get it to Frost the 80lb will be swapped out for a set of 2000 IDs.

Thanks for the compliments guys could not have gotten here without lots of help!!!

 

Great project, look forward to the results

I have been watching your progress that is one sick GTO you have!

I just bit the bullet and ordered a cage kit, I was on the fence but I figure I will put an 8.50 legal cage in it and go from there...more to come.

 

Great looking build.

 

Made a little progress my cage kit arrived yesterday, I plan on having the motor in the car this weekend for the final time should have pics up Sunday.
Big thanks to AES and Bob at Brute Speed could not have gotten this far with out their help!

 

Looks like you're going to have a busy weekend.
Thanks, I appreciate it! Bob

 

Well I accomplished a little this weekend, the motor is in the car after much fab work to notch the subframe for the AC compressor what a PITA but it came out well.
