Hey guys. Iv been on this site reading a lot but i have never really posted anything. So i have just bought a brand new ls2 block., Eagle forged rods and crank, and Mahale pistons. A custom cam is in the works. Its a 238/240dur 605/608lift from comp cams. Afr 225's and the fast 92 with 90mm TB are to come and then ill be putting it all in a 2000 c5. i already have the rpm stage 5 six speed and the LS7 clutch. Well just letting everyone know what the plans were.

 

Sounds like a pretty solid setup, but you're gonna want to get something other than that piece of **** for a clutch.

 

That's a decent clutch, I run it but have only a 346 with bolt ons. You will probabally burn it up with anything more than street tires

 

ill have the motor out for the swap so i can change it pretty easy. What clutch should i put in?

 

textrailia oz700 and give Tick performance a call about their clutch master cylinder... cant beat that setup...

 

And that is the only reason you like it. Add some more mods, and you will hate it.

 

alright.. motor update!! The shop in Arizona that i went through to build my motor called me. It was a good call. A customer backed out of a short block after a down payment.. So now im getting an ls3 that has been sleeved bored and stroked to a 427. comes with a cam thats a little bigger than the one i originally was going with, and im goin to run the etp heads instead of the AFR's. such a nice phone call tho.

 

That one hell of good phone call. Sound like a its going to be bad *** when you get done.

 

Should be a nice addition to your engine bay

 

I hope so.. the motor builder said that this shortblock with the cam he has for me made 600 crank hp with the stock ls3 heads and intake

 

Who are you having do your work?

 

I am going through Xtreme motor sports in tempe. Im not sure who they have doing the machine work on the block

 

oh and i live in arizona if you didnt know. sry

 

Yeah i read that, thats why i asked. I seem to hear pretty good things from them. Bought a few cheap parts from them.

 

yea the are really good. And they only really on vettes so i like having my car there.
