You're getting all that other trick **** and you're using stock heads???

Are you at least having them ported?

All that stuff is a waste IMHO if you don't have the head flow to support it.

By reading the title I honestly thought you meant direct exhaust injection..

the lt1 i picked up was built by a dei motor builder for his own personel car.

i doubt dei is racing lt1 motors,lol

yes im using the stock head castings but they will be ported aas well as the intake.

ya definitely want to see pics im curious. this guy didn't charge you a whole bunch of money because it was a "DEI" block did he?

aah, i see now. your post is abit miss leading. i knew they wern't racing them, was just curious why they were building them.

you could not reproduce this shortblock for what i paid for it.

its built for alot of high rpm.my top end will not be enough for the bottom.

That was a pretty funny thread. He had everything drawn up and planned out in his pictures.

And OP, hope you can get it all fixed up and ready to go ASAP.
