After using the site countless times to help me during my build I figured I would contribute myself.
I'm building a '51 Chevy 3100 with a salvaged 2005 L33 & 2009 4l60e as the power train.
This is my first build and I've documented it with hundreds of photos.
Block was $300 and came from a wrecked 05 Z71 ext cab, no accessories and a few bent valves.
I ordered an ICT front pulley kitLS car water pumpLS1 oil panHolley single plane FI intakeDemlo Speed LS adaptersHolley Terminator X Max PCM and harnessICS 2800 stall torque converterLS7 thick wall pushrods, upgraded trunnions, dual valve springs, BTR full engine gasket kitComp Cams LS1 gen 3 Stage 1 cam=223/230 @0.05, 115 separation, gross valve lift(intake=.610, exhaust=.573)
I built my own 4-point steam kit using swaglok and ported it into the ict billet water pump spacers.
Once the frame and cab are in place I'll be installing long tube headers.
I'm hoping to be at about 400 who, but really have no idea haha
any ideas or input gladly accepted👍
