408/PT98/Six Speed Build
Damn Dom, even after talking on hpj a month or so ago with you about your setup, I'm still amazed and can't wait to see the results. It's too bad I moved out of state or I'd like to see this thing in person.
Are you still going to be shooting for the same goals we had talked about in pms concerning the six speed before you go auto?

My motor (left) and the motor for our Trailblazer SS arrived the other day via Kurts Silverado SS:
The TBSS motor is a 427 LSX. The truck will be in memphis participating in the truck class.
For my car: 408ci Iron block, filled and O ringed. Assembled By Mr. Urban.
Waiting on a few parts, but we should be ready to bang it out in Memphis on the street. Might make some test n tune passes as well. We shall see. Wont have a whole lot of time to iron out the car from a dig before memphis, so Ill have to stick with the roll ons for the moment. Either way, I cannot wait to hear this bitch spool.

So why in the hell is the LSX block not going in the Camaro, and the 6.0L iron block not going in the Trailblazer????????????????
If you're going 106 and an auto later, you'd better have that LSX in there to even make it worth while.
Both those builds seem like they're gonna be awesome. Good luck!

Exactly what I was thinking... I am running a PT88 with a TH400 and it spools ok... but a 98 on a T56? Wow... looking forward to seeing the results!
Oh and what dish are those pistons?? They dont look very deep... you plan on sticking to race gas?
Jared
Yours is also rear mounted. It would be interesting to do a direct engine comparison where the only change would be turbo location and determine the spool time.

The block is utilizing half inch studs to help, but like I said before I wont be surprised if it does push a bit of water.
As I also said before, this isnt something I dont already know.
Dunn: yes it is a custom fabbed kit.
HUNTER: Just let me know, Im always down for a bit of fun either way.
