C5R pix?? Anybody want to see pix of a 427 C5R block, Jessel valve train, bullet proof lower end, .090 C5R heads, custom C5R intake, Diamond pistons, .710 lift intake (I forget exhaust) etc. going together? Then going into 02 ZL1.
Damn, I remember you asking about building a C5R engine like two years ago or something. Guess you finally decided to do it. Is this gonna be an N/A setup? Are you building it yourself?

Not two years ago.....more like one. I'm going to LWA tomorrow and take some pictures but I might have to get the OK from the Chevy Rumble magazine guy. I'll use a Sony DSC-S85 and this Dell has some kind of picture studio so surely I'll be able to figure out how to post 'em....maybe. It's taken so long for two reasons. First there was not a suitable manifold (none period at first) for the .090 C5R heads. Second, I never rush a protologist nor an engine builder... simple rules to live by but they have worked for me.
Also, after they flow tested the new heads Lamar had Comp build a different cam. Hopefully it will be ready for the f-bod get together here in Atlanta in a few weeks.

Strange 4.10. I think we had to go to Moser axles to get the correct hub fitment. The Global West tubular front end pieces came in today. Ordered electric water pump and will probably relocate a 16 volt racing battery to the rear. Decided to go with larger headers...1 7/8 to 2" to 3 1/2 inch collector and larger y-pipe.
