planning on building and lm7 for my 1987 trans am. new to these motors and wantinh some info or combo suggestions. race 1/8th mile and keep it fairly streetable. Car has th-350, ford 9 inch, spool and 456s. all umi adjustable suspenion and sub frame connectors. thanks for all the input and suggestions

 

Slap a trickflow top end kit if you got the cash...the cam and heads are matched and make killer power with no need to touch the bottom end!

 

More of a budget build. Lol would like to get some ideas of intake swaps and head, cam combos people have already done. Wish I had more cash haha

 

Suggestions anyone?!

 

Keeping the bottom end stock? What are your goals for track results or horsepower?

For the cheapest good running engine i would mill heads and get them ported with larger valves, fast 92 or a ls6 intake, or get the bbk ssi if you dont have an ls6 and you get a good deal. and a proven cam.

I have a build thread with a 5.3l you can look at. I had ls1 intake valves in the heads and had a bbk intake with the tsp 233/239 cam. It ran really good but it spun a bearing before I could get to the track.
