The rod bearings in the last motor went bad. i havent' run it at the track yet cuz the motor only has about 3000 miles on it, but i'm sure it will kick some serious ***. i'm hoping for 10's.

ouch, im guessing oil pressure just dropped? non ported ls1 oil pump was the devil of it maybe?


glad you got a new and more powerful motor in the car. Good luck, and 3,000 miles is plenty for you to break it in. Time for you to go racing

i'm from Centreville, VA. i don't have ne pics yet, but i'm workin on it. i found out the main bearings were bad b/c the stock ls1 oil pump went bad and there was a terrible clanking in the motor. Thought I tossed a rod at first, but now have a 408 stroker so its all good. it's a 6 liter iron block bored and stroked
