Default Finally got to work on my car.

Well I finally got my engine This is about 3 days worth of work. I wasnt able to get the hot parts back in time so here are the pics of what I have done so far. Trying to make it to memphis but it is going to be close. LS2 402 stroker 9:0:1 with trick flow 235's Motor and transmission is installed and I allready did the intercooler. So Im not too far away from startup.

Yup. I just had to come back to work for the next 4 days I have busted *** to get it in the car but have a little ways to go. I didnt sleep more than 16 hrs in the last 4 days I would have alot more done but my whole turbo kit went to the coaters and I have the the deminsions of the intake ducting to the turbo's be mocked. Ill replace the rubber with aluminium ducts.

good luck with that. the rubber ducts are a damn tight fit, I don't know if you'll even be able to get aluminum ducts of the same dimensions in there.
