LC9 build
i have acquired a complete 2009 long block 250k LC9 with 243 heads that was removed and replaced by a reman long block. I have no sensors, wiring or valve covers currently. Came as shown in pics. I started with removing heads and found a #7 lifter failure. Cam wasnt bad but cam bearings aren’t impressive. Left bottom end in tact and unchecked at this point. This wont be an overnight build as i will be getting all the parts together over time. But i want to get the right parts and buy once.
the engine will be going into an old 68c10 thats 3400lbs and doesnt need alot of motivation. Im not gonna need 500hp to propel this truck and dont care much about power numbers with a 5.3. I would like to freshen it up with a hone and re-ring along with all new bearing and a dod delete setup like btr’s with a truck norris cam. Or should i break the bank and buy .030 mahle drop in pistons and have a true round bore to start.
