So for the last week i had an itch to get an ls motor built, Monday i started opening up the wallet!

6.0 lq4 is where im starting
ls2 pistons .030 over
l92 heads shaved .015
l92 intake with fast 42lbs injectors,spacers,plug in adapters, and 90mm throttle body
ls2 chain
ls7 lifters
ESP Cam 222-230 59x 60x 112+4 (have not ordered cam, hopefully tomorrow!)
3200 stall 4l80e


Probably run stock valve covers for now along with truck front drive as its going back into the truck the motor came from.

all in all, have about $2700 in parts, minus head gaskets, and not a whole heck of a lot more in machining since do quite a bit of business with machine shop

Hoping for over 500 crank horsepower!
what do ya think?!

Curious as to why you went with the FAST injectors over stock ones?

They flow the same, are cheaper and you don't have to mess with any spacers.

**** my fault, was typing too fast, got stock ls3 injectors, was told needed extenders/spacers for truck intake? I guess ill see when it gets here

I used Stock 50Lb I got new on ebay for $84 shipped and seem to be working just fine.

So far at 3k
i think $500 will clean up the rest,(minus tune, i have efi live but will have a tune made) so you are right $3500 for 500hp
im using stock bottom end
hopefully be able to sell the old stuff for $300

Nuckenfutz, did you have it dyno'd? Is it a beast?

I know there will be a lot of little things that will add up that im missing, and when i get it in and done, i will know exactly where i stand!

I have yet to drive it as last night was the first start. I have my kids till Friday so thats the day im taking it out to break it in.

I had over $500 into motor work with balance.
