Just like always. Been calling/asking about it for over 2 months now. Always "2-3 more weeks" or "too busy with building motors, haven't had time to get to it."

I understand being busy and I dont need it yet, just wish it could be completed sooner. About to give up waiting on it and just use the FAST 102 I have.

Well got another big step accomplished!

Car got moved back to my house (at least temporarily) so I can do some work on it there.

Had another "what's in the box" today and that's when the LSX 427 from Texas Speed arrived. Cant wait to go break this crate open and take a look at it! I WILL be getting more pics soon (not sure I'll get by there today).

That's awesome William. Getting it home is a big step in the right direction.
Can't wait to see that engine.
Keep us posted.

So I went to visit the motor and pick up a few things from GAP to work on over the weekend. Unfortunately didn't make it very far with the car work as things always got in the way.

Took the cover off and snapped some photos of the wrapped up LSX427!

I got the corner pickups and set the pumps in the Ricks Tank and it looks good. Planning out the fuel system and what pieces I need to buy.

I did run into a snag, and that was the CTS-V module needs to be modified for the corner pickups. I hadn't seen this previously (it was available online, just hadn't looked), as I assumed it would fit.

The fix is relatively simple and I may try to come up with something else in order to make it retain stock module for easier swap out in the future.

Beyond that I made a little time this weekend to go grab a few craft brews at Jester King.

Also made a trip to see the new addition to the family. She's a mini aussie and her name is Emma. She's 4 weeks old currently so still a bit of time before we get to bring her home. She's second from the left (blue merle).

Awesome William. Great updates.
Got your engine, some nice brews and a nice little addition.
Good luck bro and keep us posted.

will69camaro 06-02-2014 09:09 PM

Got the remaining. It's for the engine ordered. Will be here in a few days. Can was a hard decision but with KP's help we picked one out! Custom grind 247/251 .624/.624 on a 118! Should be pretty rowdy!
