Most of the great LSx engine shops don't charge thousands of dollars to assemble a motor. I've gotten quotes and is usually about $500 even. Thata worth every penny having the peace of kind that I won't have to spend countless hours pulling my entire car apart to pull the motor to fix or check anything.

Possibly not even an motor issue. Could have something to do with the oil pan swap and clearances issue somewhere.

So you built everything in your truck? Trans, blower, engine, everything? We should all start hunting our own food again too 
But I never said random builder. I was implying a builder with years of experience and a track record to back it up.
Hey Cold you still got that Lingenfelter conversion box?

Even bought welder and taut his self how to weld. Put in a bad *** 10 point molley cage, built his own sheet metal dash just as good as any shop could do or better. Saved a ton of money.

well maybe I will get to see it make some passes I plan on having mine out either the 9th or 16th of october to make an attempt at the 9 sec mark. I am hoping my clutch and transmission will agree with me.

It wont be till at least the weekend after the 16th. I just dont have the money. I might try and run it this weekend IF my buddy that bought my FAST intake off my car doesnt put it on his this weekend, I may stick it back on there and try it Just to see if the oil pressure issues are fixed. I have a friend that is let me try some of his old tires. My car needs tires BAD. I think my oil pressure issues are coming from a sucked oil filter. Im going to see if thats the culprit.

That sure was a clean camaro. The right side just wasn't feeling drag racing so much lol. I can't believe the whole 4link setup stayed in tack. Someone needs a new welder.

I guessing to previous owner put some of brand drilled and sloted ones, I think I need to bleed my rears again because my brakes are not the greatest and that's why the fronts got hot and cracked
