    Though I could have done so much more with that setup, my stupidity and good deals got the best of me

    Light K-member, 35# of weight savings and so much easier to work on

    LS1 back on the floor once again!

    These showed up out of nowhere?

    Then this fell out of the sky

    378" of forged LS3 bottom end. Running the same heads and cam as that is what I spec'd the cam for when I bought it. This is
    Mahle 4.075 forged pistons
    Scat 6.125" h-beam rods
    stock crank
    Good Ls2 style timing set
    the 243 heads that I did some more porting on
    Cometic 4.085x.040 head gaskets
    EPS 238/246 .608" 111+3 cam
    BTR dual springs, ti retainers
    stock rockers with Comp trunion bearing upgrade

    It works out to be 14.15:1 compression, and around 10.55:1 dynamic compression. This will be backed up with a FLT trans stage 5 4l60e with all the good parts, and around a 5000 stall converter

              Looks good Gary! Let me know when you need a drive shaft. I opened up a new shop right by Tintmasters.

              I wanna go fast!

                            Well sheesh, we run the same size injectors then... 😄 (okay, so I only run 4 of them...)

                            Looking great Gary, I hope I get to see it run next summer!

                                  So this is the harness, it sucked big time to do, but it looks so much better. all done up in heat sleeving an no more corrugated plastic loom, god i hate that shit. I need to pick up a couple parts since I broke 2 of the small metal injector terminals. But its basically done and as good as I could get it. Think I have about $45 in heat shrink in this and have enough left to do a good amount of the engine bay harness as well. Wasnt planning on it but in the back of my mind I could hear Jim telling me "that wiring is fucking garbage" and I didnt want to go through that hours long teasing session

                                    Got the longblock together this weekend. Need to get a couple small parts and have the intake milled this week.

                                        4150 base? Pfffftttt..

                                        Put a turbo on it, I will give you a 4150 elbow.

                                        BTW: PET braided sleeve is nice.

                                          yes 4150 super victor, and no I wont use an elbow as I do not have cylinder correction and the air distribution is terrible with them. I have a 1200cfm 4150 throttle body on the way

                                          And NO TURBO, not going down that road again now, maybe in a few years but it should already go 10.50 without much effort, and I wont put in more than a 6pt bar anyway. I like to drive my shit and not be in a jungle gym
