I'm interested in putting the following engine in a road race race car;

http://www.crateenginedepot.com/stor...-P2282C53.aspx

1) Would this engine be a good choice for a road race motor?

2) Which controller is better the Edelbrock or the MSD 6LS? Is the LS3 58 teeth like the LS2?

3) The MSD does not come with a harness. Who makes a basic harness for a Carb'd LS3?

4) The stock oil pan does not have a windage tray or side resevoirs with traps. Would the stock oil pan starve the motor from oil during hard turns? If a stock pan is not safe to run, who makes a better pan?


Thanks!

The engine should work very well. The guys at Crate Motor Depot are cool also.

That engine uses a 58 tooth like most LS2 and all L92 and LS7. Get the MSD 6012. It does come with a harness. At least mine did

You can program your own timing curves or use plugs that have preset curves. For a road race car I would dyno to build a custom curve. You will need a laptop but it's not that hard.

The stock pan does have a windage tray. For road racing I would look at a Moroso pan and possibly a accusump for added security.

I would think the LS3 would be great.

You need the 58x (6012) MSD which works perfect BTW. There is enough of a harness available from MSD.

the C6 oil pan is good but an Accusump is a good backup.

MSD makes the Edelbrock unit for them. Make sure you get the carb conversion harness, there is another harness for FI cars.

the box will come with ALL THE HARNESS you will need.
no reason to buy an extension, or any other parts.
please buy the MSD box. its the only one you can tune on.
the edeljunk doesnt even come with a rev limiter, which is real bad.
