Finally pulling the trigger on parts!
I think Scoggin Dickey has a new LS3 based 396. That'd be pretty bad *** with some nostalgia to boot.
Glad you picked up that FLT. That was a HELL of a deal.
Got the ok from the wife for an LS2 block with 2 trashed cylinders. That's going to ERL for either a 441 or a 454.

I sort of wish I had went into this wanting to build up a 418 or something. I might have gone with TFS 245 heads. Everything else would have been the same... LOL.
No sense in buying a 418 now. Those are like $5700. I'd have to buy ANOTHER cam. And probably sell these heads.
Meh.

IMO, just get it built so you can start enjoying it.

True statement! That said, I see where you're coming from Jake, since you're already in it, why not go big!

I really want to keep the stock stroke. I actually thought I wanted to do a 370 from the beginning. I'll probably just put it together and enjoy 500/460 for a while. And spray 200 once in a while...
10:1 on ethanol....oh yea it was through a 4L80E and truck drive train as well.

I haven't given up on the 346 yet. Else I would have purchased the 370 already. LOL.
If I were a single man, I'd have twin turbos on a Z06 pushing 1500rwhp... (yes, the 346 is still in the mix because I am not a single man - well I might be when this is all said and done...)
Cam is not here yet.
Good news is the PCM made it to Geoff. I emailed him the FIC tuning file for the injectors today and passed on Chuck's recommendations for the trans.

A C6Z would be in my garage, but then I got a wife! Money drain! Oh well, there's great gain in contentment!
Have to be glad we can have fun with these toys!
