Teaser PICs!!! 427ci. LS1 Build
Teaser PICs!!! 427ci. LS1 Build Here are a few pic I have. They are just pictures of parts at this point. The small-block is ready to be balanced, blueprinted, and assembled. The white-balance was off on the camera for most of the pics, so they have an orangish tint. All of the parts except for the crank came from Jason (Beast96Z). The crank came from Erik at HPE. Estimated completion is July 2006.

It is a dry sleeve block. I am hoping I won't have any coolant issues with it. We will have to wait and see I guess.

. i take it you said **** smog? im building up a 454 h/c w/ STS setup next year myself. all smog legal. 
Glad to see it all coming together Mike. I can't wait to see how it turns out. Yu guys can go to Katechs site to check out the price on the block. They were about $3600 last time I checked. I tell you one thing, he got a hell of a deal from me. That's ok though. I'm slowly recovering from the child birth bills and I have a nice build under way. 
Kinda looks like Jerami is stealing some of my ideas.

Very nice! This seems to be the way to go... an affordable C5R type of setup, or LS7 equivalent... with the exception of the block, this is no more expensive than building any other stroker... I am very curious to see what kind of power it will make with those heads and intake...
Is anyone else doing a simmilar setup?

I was just waundering if those pistons will have enough valve relief in them for the new LS7 heads you are refering to? At the 11 degrees these heads are at I was told that the piston company's are still working on a design for these heads other then the stock LS7 pistons, which as we all know are cast. Just checking because I am working on a build right now sort of along the same lines as you, and I have been trying to sort out some of the problem issues of mating LS7 parts with LS1 parts. I decided to stick with my stock PCM in my Trans Am and really try to build this thing around all of that to make it work! Great stuff!!
