its been awhile since i have updated this thread because ive been working 7 days a week for the last couple months. the good thing about all the work is the extra money that comes with it.

i just got home from dropping my shortblock off to tony mamo in valencia, ca.
i was going to reuse my old afrs and fast 102 but after talking to tony im changing directions a little. my cathedral port setup is only good to about 660hp with the drivabilty im lookin for so a new topend was in order. after talking with tony the bigger ls3 topend will hit my goal and still have the drivabilty im looking for. parts are getting ordered now and ill update the thread with what tony is picking out for me.

I've done two cars hat came with a six and am about to tear into a third. I prefer to buy a car with an engineer ne no one wants than to pay for a nice engine that I'm going to change anyway.

It is kinda fun giving these granny cars a new go in life. This build is right down my alley. :thumbsup:

this is going to be the 3rd ls in this car. it started with the straight 6 then a stock lq4 with a carb. the last one was an lq4 with cnc 243s big cam and a 950 pro systems. im hoping this motor will cure my hp addiction for awhile

finally got my motor
 
11 months and a lot of issues later i finally got my motor. due to issues with a new shortblock that i brought Tony this project got setback a lot but Tony figured them all out and i now have an engine. i watched the engine on westechs dyno yesterday. it made 678.51hp @7100
and 576lbs/ft. this should get mt little car movin pretty good.
