Every custom part you see on that engine(and even some that you dont) Bryan made. If you like those you sould see his billet aluminum engine mounts. Oh and after we powder coated the valve covers he went back over and ball milled them along with the valley cover.
I can't tell you how good that looks!!!!

Will the routing of the wires work like that once the headers are on. Looks like some are going right over the exhaust ports. Could be the angle of the picture though. F'ing beautifull, regardles !!

Doesn't look like many LS engines.
Here is a picture. The guy in the GMPP garb is the engine builder Jeff Stealy. Jeff has worked his butt of on our Nitrous 454 LSX engine. If it bolted to the engine it had to be modified in some way. Jeff has the ability to get things done.
If you guys want to purchase an LSX hat and/or GM Performance Parts T SHirts they are selling online over at gmperformanceparts.com.
Thanks

The wires clear the headers no problem. They come down in the same locationa as stock.

Cant wait to see wht kind of numbers that engine puts down Robin L

Robin, why is the first GMPP's 454 not fuel injected? Seems to me this is a step in the wrong direction. I realize that sanctioning bodies mandate carbs and all, but you guys have pull there at the General and it is time to get EFI regulated in all racing classes. If you guys can't get the rules to change, none of us will be able to. Just a thought. Nice work though, that thing should put the old SBC's in the garbage.

In the NMCA NPS class EFI is allowed!
Schroeder's NPS 02 Camaro 632ci has EFI!
