Greetings for SW AZ Good morning from Sunny Arizona. Newb here. I'm here to learn more about LS engines. I've been a Big Block Chevy guy since day one. Dad had a SS396 70 Nova and my first car was a 70 Nova with a 454 transplanted into it. I've built small and big blocks over the year but I finally got my first LS vehicle in 2015 (2015 ZL1 Camaro) and just got a 68 Camaro project with a LS2/T56 transplanted from a 06 GTO. About 40 miles after I got it, one of the bearings spun so I yanked it out and rebuilt it. Added forged H beams, forged Summit flat tops, ARP hardware, BTR stage 2 LS3 cam, and Comp trunnion conversion. I'm in the process of bolting it all back together for re-install (hopefully in the next month). I'll be picking your brains for advise on future upgrades (intake, injectors, etc.).

Welcome to LS1Tech! Post your questions over in our Gen4 Internal section regarding that aluminum 6 liter build.
You can likely buy a fbody t56 cheaper than building that corvette box, unless your a transmission guy and you have access to all the needed conversion parts. Lots of sharp guys over in our Manual Transmission section will lend a hand. Sounds like a fun build sir!
