I'm interested to see how the cam works out too. I was going to put one in a 350 before I decided to go the LS route.
Which one? I am assuming the mild one if you aren't concerned about a stall.

I went with the smaller of the 3. This is a daily driver so I didn't want to go too radical.Originally Posted by lost06
Painted the other side of the block today. I will probably paint the timing cover I just got in the mail and some other misc pieces in the next few days. I will probably install the cam and put the heads on within the next week.
Looks good so far man! Did a great job cleaning everything up. Let us know how the rest of it goes.
2000 Chevy Silverado RCSB LS6 5 speed, LS6 short block, 317 heads, LS6 intake, Lunati 220/224 .575/.575 112LSA cam, Edelbrock Headers, CTS-V accessory drive, Nelson Performance Custom Tune.
Heres a better pic of the block, looks kind of reddish under my garage lights but it is Chevy Orange
Engine looks damn good man. Good job on the detailing.
They always look so nice on a stand before they're dropped into the belly of the beast.

Wow, it's been awhile since I posted on my build thread. It's been a crazy year. Anyway, I've got alot done and it's almost ready. I am going to try and start it this week. I have added a few things and am getting excited. Heres what it looks like right now.
I am now in need of some LS1Tech support!
I have pretty much everything wired up. I want to confirm that I placed the MSD 12v wire and tach wire in the correct place and confirm if I am tapping into the correct wire to hotwire the fuel pump.
This is the old plug to the coil, it is a white wire and a red one. I ran the MSD to the red one and the yellow MSD tach wire to the white one.
Here is the fuel pump relay. Am I to run the same red coil hot wire to the Grey fuel pump wire?

Soon to install:
5.3 LM7, Thumpr Cam, LS6 lifters/springs, LS1 1.7 rockers, 862 heads milled 0.015 and 45 degree cut valves, LS2 timing set, Performer RPM intake, Holley 4150 750cfm carb, MSD 6LS ignition, 2" Primary LT headers 3" X-pipe and two Loudmouth II Mufflers. Vigilante 9.5" 2,800 Stall.
Looks damn good man. Nice job with the details. I didn't go that crazy with my 6.0 conversion. Just cleaned it up, replaced the rear main seal, removed the broken exhaust bolts on the heads, repainted it and installed it. It actually runs really well. Much better than the old tired 350 it replaced. Even though the mileage of both engines are similar(140,000 for the 6.0 and 155,000 for the 350), the LQ4 has much more power. It makes me wonder how well it would have run with a mild rebuild and some aluminum heads.
Keep us posted with your progress and keep up the good work.
