ID1300's good for 900 whp? It is going to be flex fuel and plan to run e85 mainly, but may have to put in some 93 on a road trip.

No idea which type of ink the ls3 uses, but these are the shorty version of the bosch, 220lb too.

The 4" downpipe will have a boost actuated cutout (3.5 psi) where it ends now, and then out the fender. 3" before the cutout and in between engine and crossmember and out the back with a muffler.

Been getting quite a bit of work done on this thing the last few weekends. I took the axles to a machine shop to get the flanges machined for the c6z rotors. Turns out one of the axles is bent. I was planning on running 30mm spacers to fit the c7 wheels. But now that I need new axles anyways, how feasible is it to extend my axle tubes the 30mm and get longer axles??? There is a pic of the axle in post 67. Cut at that last weld by the end and weld a new one on 30mm longer?

So I did get the axle tubes extended and new axles through moser. Customer service was awesome. Except I had no idea the c7 wheels wouldn't clear the c6z calipers. Got 9mm spacers made and had to do some clearancing outboard......

Pulled the engine back out for head studs and ls9 gaskets before final assembly. First side was nice, bores looked great. Second side the multi layer gasket sprayed me in the face with coolant as I pulled the head off. Then I see this......

Adjacent cylinder not as bad but rusted also. So this good running, compression tested engine I bought from a yard off ebay is no good.

So bought a freshly machined lq4 block, eagle rods, and cp bullet pistons off here to assemble with my crank after balancing. I will need to drill and tap the block for the gen 4 knock sensors and leave an old cam sensor in the back. I can't believe budget is in the title!!!!
