Well I ran into a snag.. I was shipped the wrong Valve Seals..they are for a SBC instead of a LS1..working that one out at the moment and pretty set on having them make them arrive here on Saturday by any means necessary.

 

Here's what I got done tonite..








All that's left is the Lifters, then the Heads go on once I get them complete.

 

I still don't see what you're waiting for, lol. Get in the damn car already, I want to see what that beast puts up at the track!

 

No windage tray at all?

 

No I'm not running a Windage Tray.. if you saw how the Oil Pan is baffled and how far the Crank sits up in the Block there really is no need for one.
Waiting on Valve Seals..

 

Damn bro this is going to be one heck of a monster when it's done. Keep me in the loop and good luck!

 

Man that sucks! Its always something! I got my car back yesterday and its by far the best sounding exhaust I've heard. I'll have to get some video this weekend and post them up.

 

Valve Seals are on the way with a confirmed delivery of tomorrow sometime by Fed EX.

 

im jealous

 

^^^same here!

 

Well the Car is here at the house now with the Interior stripped out..I have some body work to do to it while I'm waiting on the Valve Seals.

 

Valve Seals got here 9:00 this morning.

Here is the latest pics..

Heads on..


Lining up the Clutch..this is the best alignemt tool there is..


All together and ready to slide in..


About to drop it in..


Its in the car now, everything is bolted up. I have to make a few adjustments with the new Torque Arm and mounting it.
The Poly Motor Mounts were a pain in the ***, but everything lines up.

 

Very nice!!!

 

sweet.

 

Well here's the pics of todays work..

It's idling at 60psi cold, runs great and holds a steady idle, I still have to make a few adjustments. I bled the Clutch and it moves..took 3 minutes to bleed. Speed Bleeder FTW..

Soon I'll be driving it.

 

Sweet, that was fast! looking good, BTW have you ever thought about doing a hydroboost brake converstion?

 

What is that?

 

Just wondered if it ever crossed your mind to do it since your still running power steering pump. With a hydroboost you wont need to run brake power booster. Some pro-touring guys do it to make more room and a cleaner look under the hood.

Just a picture of it for reference

 

Sounds killer!

 

Na I'm cool with the factory stuff..I'm not going for the exquisite look..this is low budget here..
