Those are the new Ws6 Store MLS Gaskets with the Fire ring in them. my heads are old 852's with the Notch in the side.

I got a used 224/229 .600 .600 114+2 Texas speed cam for super cheap. (should work fine for what im doing right now.
Pac 1219 springs
7.400 pushrods
ARP Head Studs
Ws6 Store head gaskets

The alternator bracket is the CBR Bracket. Supposed to clear the hood well see.

Looking forward to seeing this done! Judging by the speed of the build on your TA, you'll be done by the end of Mardi Gras lol

Trying to make it to TX2k. Probably a pipe dream.. But if all my parts come in next week early enough I should be able to fire it up next weekend. and get it tuned.

That should make some steam between the 5.3 and that turbo.

You dont waste no time, do you?

how did the 4.8 camaro run? My buddy has a 4.8 he said i could have. I was thinking about putting the crank in my aluminum 5.3 or 5.7 block and build a small cube turbo motor. what would a 4.8 crank be in a 5.7 block? 5.2?

The 4.8 with a VS Billet 7875 made 689 rwhp on 18# Just annihilating the converter lol 23% Slip... I sold it after that. the new owner put a better converter in it and I think he said it makes around 750 ish now

Where’s the return going? An easy option is the lower part of the timing cover. You probably should buy a two piece cover while your at it. We know how much you like to change cams. Lol.

Good numbers out the 4.8. Same turbo I have.
