    please do, I hate all these stupid covers everyone does. the only ones that are even cool are the vette covers. you can make these engines look just as sexy as the gen one engines with a little work.

    I like the idea of grinding the intake smooth. It's pretty much what I did inside the air box on my Blazer. Maybe I'll try it when I have to replace the intake gaskets on the GMC.

    Google LKQ they have them reasonable an ls1 or aluminum 5.3 would be great. A 6.0 aluminum would be an LS2 and they are not cheap.

    you can pick up aluminum 5.3's for pretty cheap, but ls1's and ls2's are always pretty pricy, the 5.3 can be made into a badass little engine though, and you could build it up and buy it for the cost of an ls1-ls2.

    intake is done

    My house currently has 7 people in it because of a friend of the family is getting married, there for Greg now has his out of town family at his house. needless to say progress is slow. but onto my small update.

    installed my valley cover, ls2 timing chain, ported oil pump, timing cover, new front and rear main seals, and got in my head gaskets, exhaust, and intake gaskets.

    intake in primer with lots of holes


    intake all done.


    and a little teaser




    I should have used darker primer on the intake so that the final color would have been closer to the block. But when I can spend the money i'll be getting edelbrocks new setup, or a fast so it's not a big enough deal for me to repaint. The heads are my old ones just sitting on there for mock-up, my heads are at the machine shop getting surfaced and jet washed. after they get back the long block will get assembled. other then that i'm just getting loose ends taken care of. i'm ordering the last of my parts on sunday and monday.

    next weekend is a 3 day for me and my buddies that are working on Mia. As long as the sky refrains from falling progress will be made.
