Not to bad price wise at all. Whatever you do, do NOT run a synthetic for break in. Run a standard mineral based oil. My builder has already cautioned me a few times about that. A synthetic can glaze...

The machinist will be able to see any cracks or anything in the liners. A good machinist should be fairly thorough there. They don't want their work coming back broken or have a bad build associated...

This too shall pass. I'm still probably 2-3 weeks out. The waiting is the hardest part.

Actually... Plenty. My budget may dictate that I have to run LS7s and that's fine for a while to me, but eventually I'll be going with linked bars, they are better.

It depends more on the lobe...

Or if you can wait for a week, I can have my dad drop it off for you. He makes weekly trips to gardena for work. He drives a company car, he'll make a detour for me

Yea should fit no problem. And the rods are beefier in Gen4 stuff. The cranks are good to 900hp so that's fine too, I have the stock pistons on the rods right now. But if you're going dished, you can...

243 heads is what you're after. And no, I sold it. Sorry, if I come across some I'll let you know. The 243s are slightly better performing due to better valves and smaller combustion chamber. They...

Yea, at this point, a OEM rebuild is probably more than enough. A nice cam will be more than enough to get into the 400s at the wheels. Just let me know if the block isn't salvageable. I'll hang onto...

The point you bring up about the rest of the drivetrain is a concern though. Too much power and you'll break the diff or axle. So maybe a stroker isn't ideal.

The LS7 would be fine in a C3. You're a lot lighter than a lot of other cars that put down that kind of power in a V like mine. As far as the rear end, don't know about that. I don't know what kind...

#1 the crankshaft reluctor wheel is 24 tooth on LS1/6 and early LS2. Not interchangeable... Can be fixed by having a machine shop press on your old wheel. Gen4 blocks...

That sucks. But I do have access to a LS2 block for you $700 and I'll drop it off. Or I can get you a whole 5.3 to drop in there.

The morels are some of the best lifters around. If you don't mind the extra expense over the ls7 lifters, I'd jump on them. The 799 truck heads are good basically the same as 243s on an ls6. If they...

What heads do you have? LS7 intake valves are 2.20 inches. They probably won't fit in the heads you have unless you have the valve seats machined. If you do rockers, keep your old ones and do the...
