This build is based off of the mast motorsports LS3 427 SS crate. So just about everything should be the same. SDPC said they can do a similar build but cheaper so I went with them. I should get the motor in about 2 weeks.

That build appears to be a great start to your reciprocating mods. Just with the engine displacement I can imagine you're gonna sound off lots of car alarms if you stay with that LM1.

Yea I thought so too. I kind of hoping my current rear end hold up. I see alot of guys go into 10's with the 10 bolt but we will see. If it don't hold up then i be ready to get a 12 bolt or 9 fab.
