Talk about making progress. I can't wait until you start this bad boy up. You are going to make some serious power.

It should fly at the track though. That is all that really matters any way.

That is sweet. How much power is expected N/A?
Are you going fuel injected?

Keep us posted.

made some progress last night. finally got some motivation. had to degree the cam twice as i wasnt able to get sufficient ptv clearance, had to drill/ tap the block for the ls1 knock sensors and its designed for the ls2 style, had to helicoil a couple of threads that were buggered up, then had to fight the windage tray as it wasnt even trying to clear the 4" crank and arp rod bolts, had the front and rear cover pulled back off as they have to be perfectly lined up once the pan goes on (there should be dowels in them imo) and a couple other little nick nack things. anyways here she goes......

reused my mcleod dual disc as i just put it in a couple months ago

with tranny and scatter sheild bolted up and in the k member



and finally up where she belongs


a couple hours and she will be ready. just some wires to connect and the driveshaft etc. shes close
