Thanks merv your honing to be the person I contact since you do everyone's harness.

5.3 was cracked by the oil pan hadn't seen that so I got refunded my money. The Guy at the jy has a 4.8 for 500 complete from an 03 truck with 90k miles. Sound like a good 2nd option or should I wait. Pm me if possible I don't wanna mess matts thread up more then I have already

 

I'd get a 5.3 if possible, or turbo the 4.8

 

Whats the bore on the 4.8?

 

3.78 bore, 3.27 stroke.

3.78 bore, 3.62 stroke is a 5.3

 

Found a better deal on the 5.3 merv and better miles 30k complete drop out for 800. Picking her up Friday.

 

so Matt what is up with this car? Any dyno, track times yet?

What part numbers were the rods and pistons? I assume stock crank?

Who sumped your tank and do you have the part numbers for the fuel system? Pics of installed fuel systeM?

Any vids of the beast currently

 

bump for an update !

 

matttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

 

I got say this is a wicked build great work done, I have a question how did you mount ur rad into the cradle like you did? Im wanting to do the same thing to keep everything tuck up and away to have a cleaner engine bay for my lsx swap.
thanks

 

Hey guys sorry for not updating in FOREVER.....

The car is doing good.. I have the heads off of it right now to add studs and cometic gaskets to turn the boost up... I am also swapping a TH400 in with a trans brake along with a Meth kit and 103lb injectors since I had my 74s at 105% duty cycle at only 13lbs... I haven't post any track times yest since I have a local grudge money race with an LT1 guy and he trolls on here to get info on the car...lol but as you can see from my "9 second club" it has ran pretty good!!..

I took the car out to a local cruise a few weeks ago and I outran a ZX14 that runs 9.04 @154 in the quater by a half of car...we went from 40-150 and I stayed in 3rd gear he went down to second...he couldn't believe that a car outran his bike.... I raced a GSXR 750 too and i outan him so bad it looked like I threw him out the window....

I will post up some videos of some street pulls from tuning...

ROB - PM me and I will give you all the info you need on rods pistons sump etc.....

Kryz Z - i took and cut the back side of the core support out and bought the standard Griffin that everyone uses to stand up and it slid right in... then made a couple tabs to hold it in....

 

Update?

 

I just read all 39 pages. I DESERVE an update. Please and thank you. And if you do come back, could you list what block and heads you ended up using. Everything changed so much I have no idea

 

He's been super busy lately, but he stuck with the same heads and worked the same block over.

 

370 with LSA Heads right? Last time I was bs'n with him he said something about LSA Heads..

Speaking of busy I guess we all have been busy..lol.

I got a little chuckle after seeing this tho..



This is from my last Cam Swap in the MCSS..



Matt needed a stock F-body Pulley so we traded.

 

Well it was a good build. Hopefully when I get back to the states I'll have my own 3 year long 39 page LT1 to turbo LS swap thread

 

OK guys sorry I have neglected this thread for a while... I have been really busy with other things and the car has been just sitting in the garage....

I have changed motor setups a ton lol.... I ended up with an all Forged Iron block with fully ported LSA heads, meth injection, fully ported single plane intake an Fast 4150 throttle body. 100+lb injectors w/ twin a1000 pumps with a sumped factory F body gas tank... -10 feed and -6 return boost referenced reg etc.

Custom built th400 with a brake and custom Billet stall converter... (I had 25 percent slip on my last converter built for 1000hp)

 

so... you bought a camaro too?

red car looks incredible.

 

Yea the camaro is my daily driver... its a SLP SS 6 speed with full bolt one..
SLP long tubes, Y pipe, and dual dual exhaust. lid, ls6 intake, tuned, UD pulley, ported TB, 85mm mad, Hurst shifter etc..

 

I will post some track videos soon too of the TA.

 

Annndddd phone calls..... T/A's looking good brother!


(I can't say much, my thread pretty much stalled out too, lol)

Awaiting said videos....
