The heads will work it's just the newer heads L92, LS3, LS7 that use a differant intake. I have bought alot of stuff from ebay, but I don't know if I would try a forged assembly. I haven't looked on there in awhile but they used to be all 10:1 compression and up. For FI you need to lower comp.

Not trying to diss the parts, but for 900+ HP I would like to make sure of what I had, by getting it from someone I know and/or trust.

Thanks deadmanTA ,

can you let me know, which company is a honest and has good price?
The eBay stuff has low CR pistons, but I don`t know how good the rods are.
The Camaro T56 can fit to 6,0 truck block without changes?

thanks in advance

have you considered getting a company, or an indavidual in the US to sause the parts you want and build the block for you?? it would cost more, but then you know the work will be done right.

im sure someone like EPP would beable to help you out.

also i can put you in touch with a guy here in the UK that will beable to supply a stock engine, or a fully built engine for you.

Cheers

Chris.

I'm sure Bob @ EPP could get you rolling or Texas Speed. Both are great to deal with and very repitable. Both are site sponsers also.

Yes, I think that too, I have saw his page and it looks good, but I must have a complete price if I can give him a used engine.I think it will be the best way.
I will see which offer he can make.
I have wrote him a email, I am waiting for answere.
It would be great, if my low budget can pay it.

Thanks alot
