Default Motor Finally Going In!!!!

Hey Guys I just thought i would share the recent project that i have been working on. Its a 93 Camaro we pulled the motor sent the heads to AI for their 190cc port package along with thier 226/234 cam. Running 6 inch rods in bottom with Mahle pistons and stock crank. Intake is gasket matched and a little bit of porting behind the throttle body. I will be running Pacesetter headers and Y and 3 inch pipe to a Goelrichs (im not sure how to spell it its a funny name) Xcellerator muffler. Starting to get excited!!!

Awesome. I almost got the AI 226/234 kit. I loved any videos I found of it.

I decided to get an LS1, and I just dropped it off today actually to have it installed with a Patriot 225/229 cam.. So I know how excited you are.

Good luck with your new setup.

I had the cam one size larger than yours and a set of Ai 190cc heads and ran the times in my sig.

You'll be happy once you get it all sorted out.
