progress

[Show&Go]

After a while of being dead in the water on the white truck. Few good friends and I got some work done. The 5.3 is now out of the truck. I have a lil cleaning up to do on the inside of the truck before the ls1 goes in. Hopefully will have enuf money in the bank in a few weeks to have the ls1 remachined, assembled and tuned.
Also all my fasteners and gaskets aside from rod bolts are in.
OH and found out the maximum tensile strength of my ground wire that goes from block to frame...... Forgot to disconnect it..... And let me tell ya. It can almost take a good half or more weight of the truck with no motor! haha

Well the block is going to be balanced new rings and bearings. Katech rod bolts, Arp head bolts.... Poluter camshaft, Pnp 853 heads 5 angle valve job and resurfaced, full bolt ons, tbss intake manifold, ls7 lifters,4000 stall all the trans goods. Then soon as possible Ill add a higher gear in the back then 4.10s I have now. Then Im thinking about yella terra roller rockers and a fast 90.... And around a 150 shot

You shouldn't run 862 heads on a ls1 with nitrous, WAY too much compression. Get a set of 243's and sell me your 862's
