Can't believe I just found this thread!! I'll definitely be tuned in.
I'm probably buying my buddies Darton sleeved 434 shortblock. Just torn between Chris Frank and Darin Morgan for porting the LS7 heads...
You're shooting for end of January start-up? It's going to be a monster, plain and simple.

After it's all finished my goal is to have a Vette that can go fast at a strip, the mile, and a road course. With a turbo build, there wouldn't be any road courses for sure. I'd have more power, w/ the ability to "turn it up" easily, but tuning can be a bear, and packaging in a Vette can be troublesome to say the least. To me it all made me think: ugh. So I chose Big cubes and NA.

Ok, so the latest update:
today I picked up my valve cover inserts and I have to say, they match the Katech VC's perfect!

Spoke with ERL yesterday, and my Shortblock is finished and ready to ship. It should ship out early next week! My heads should be completed next week as well, so by the end of next week, all should be going together!

Silly Question: are you converting the C5 over to a drive by wire?
From the pic's you posted (both before and after shots of the parts being painted) you seem to have an LS7 90mm DBW throttle body.
I figured I'ld ask because the C5's used the LS1/LS6 cable pulley style throttle body.
I'm guessing it wouldn't be that hard to convert over to a C6 ECM and drive by wire pedal, though...

100HP per liter is what we ended for my engine....daily driver able to kill an Enzo (did it three time)...
You simply need some money and a real engine builder.
Good luck.

looks awesome! i really like the 434 inlay with the jakeskull
Ive been looking to add a 402 or LS2 emblem somewhere discreet like that. especially the jakeskull.
cant wait to see this in person. hopefully it will be ready by February's C&C! awesome work!

Top notch work. I have 2 C5 Z06 emblems w/ "434ci"in place of the factory 405HP.
