All I know is that somebody needs to take pics of the motor in the car in like a week......... cough cough zac cough.

Well a whole bunch of new sexy parts have shown up.... i just have been to busy to make any real progress

any way the harness is completely reworked and done.... just needs to be loomed once pulled to the correct length

So some of the parts that have shown up

New Motron 60# injectors
New Edelbrock TB elbow powder coated black
all my plumbing supplies
New C6 vette front pulley
New C6 manifolds
New sexy Meziere water pump

anyway just some shots of the stuff i stuck on there tonight

Main thing i need to purchase is HP tuners and some little stuff and it should be running..... fingers crossed LOL

Damn, I was pretty skeptical at first, that that looks fucking awesome! Can't wait for more pics.

[squawsnatch]

Maybe it's some crazy technique he is using to turbo it.

Or he was drunk...

and +1 for injectors

[MisterCMK]

How big are the injectors?

[btleier]

how cheap are parts for motor?

WAAAAYYYYY Cheaper. Not that it matters... They are very stout engines. They also weigh very close if not, less than a rotary. (That's what I read)

60#

not as cheap as Gen I-II stuff.... but not ridiculous

I will do a run down list of what i have paid sometime.....lets put it this way

I have sold most of my rotary stuff..... and with that money i have not spent a penny more on anything for this setup thus far.........

these engines will do 600 wheel stock so that is very stout for an engine with cast parts

I have an iron block... so around 80lbs heavier than the alum. ls1/ls2 engines

but I feel well worth it for the durability gained..... heck GM doesnt recommend boring the alum. blocks .010"+ over because of the thin liners........ where as the iron 4.8/5.3 blocks can be bored .100" over

Since all the genIII-IV engines share the same cylinder spacing it is only common sense that the smaller bore versions are going to have thicker cylinder walls and inherently more strength with boosted applications

IMO alum. blocks are overated...my car is a lightweight anyway...80lbs... bigdeal

ya rambling again
