One step closer, huh Anthony? I gotta order up the rotating assembly for my car soon. I really want to get that thing going.

No worries, a blown LT1 is ALOT of fun (they make great torque) trust me as I have personal experience. :yes: How are you beefing up the internals?

Yes! :) It's almost time to hammer down and get this thing on the road!! :D

Got a forged crank and rods from Scat and forged pistons we had Diamond build...had to due to the LT1's small chambers, I wanted a 8.5:1 cr, and no off the shelf pistons would do it....so we spent a fair amount more and had what we needed built. In hind sight (kinda still learning) I should have put the money into new better flowing heads with larger CC's so standard blower pistons would do the trick....but hey I've had to do this on a budget and never felt I could spend 2k on heads...and the piston money was doable. Also, we are converting it to a 4 bolt main and using all ARP fasteners.

I'm rounding up all the parts tonight and will probably take a few pics...I think the pistons look sweet!

Here's a couple pics from tonight. Just had to take a peek at the pistons once more. Tomorrow night I will build the crate and then it's off to Mike Lewis and out of my hands! :unibrow:

Going to be nice. The mock-up picture of engine/intake looks very clean. Almost like it came that way from factory.

Thanks Tom!

Woohoo! That's a step in the right direction. Hey it's only been 5 years coming! lol

:thumbsup:

Looks like a sweet project and cant wait to see it finished. I love the intake set up and the way the inner cooler looks

Looking great Tony, with Chris being almost done w/the paint, you must be really stoked!!
