My new motor
 

Dropped by the shop (Dasilva Motorsports over in Kitchener) to find my motor almost done ... BIG thanks to Manny, and Dave ... these guys are awesome to deal with, and likely one of the best shops in the GTA

Sweet how much power is it making?

i bet its over 620hp

Maybe....I don't think an E-force is going to get you that much on a stock engine, unless its an bigger than an LS3.

A little more
 

Well, this bad boy WILL do a little more than 800 hp (710 RWHP) at the crank ...
LS7
Heads Done
Wet sump converted
Custom Cam
Forged pistons
10.2:1 CR
Smallest E Force pulley
Custom crank pulley
Oh .... and most importantly ... properly tuned by Dave/Manny on the Dyno (in January)

Thank you sir!
We made a bunch of changes to work with the Hydratech unit. It blends in very well.
Did the shaft side go good for you?

what changes did you have to make to the bracket to use the hydroboost?

Meanstreets kit
 

Vince ... to answer your question .. perfectly lined up, it couldn't have been easier.

Randy, Vince has this setup dialed in, they absolute bolt together system like it was all one kit

Looks nice. I can't wait to see what the dyno numbers look like.

Is this da silva in Canada? If so, I'm surprised he didn't set you up with a vortech.

Dasilva
 

Jr, ya thats the Dasilva in Canada ... funny thing is there are 3 high end shops in the greater Toronto area. Joe Dasilva (Pickering) does Fords, his brothers shop in Scarborough and Manny Dasilva out in Kitchener.

Here is Manny's shop, he gets the vette guys coming from all over Canada and the US ... these guys are awesome !!

Update
 

And underneath ... The American Racing headers fit PERFECTLY and the 1st thing i checked was ground clearance .. happily saw they did not hang any lower than the bottom of the frame rails ... Phew !!

Scheck44 what conversion plates did they use to install the motor? I have the same headers on an LSA but its going to be a 4L80. Appreciate any help. Is that a Speed tech cross member ?

Thanks

Install
 

Hey Wayne, we used the Dirty Dingo sliders with the Speedtech poly mounts on top of OEM style 350 302 engine stands, and yes that is the Speedtech torque-arm rear

Cheers
Steve

Update
 

Electrical complete, front accessory drive done and trial fitting the covers ...

Sweet!

It looks great. Best thing about it is the hood clearence:headspin:

Looks SICK!!!

Header clearance
 

Guys, thanks for the great feedback thus far ... truly appreciate the positive responses from everyone. Looks like she will get fired up later this week, or definitely the week after and then we'll see some dyno #rs :sieg:

Got some requests for the ARH header clearance pic at the box ...

Update ... Custom intake/cold air box
 

So again theme here is keep it clean, so I built a custom air box/close out panel that serves both as a cold air box and a spot for the AC line bulkhead connector. All AC lines running through the fender and connections made at the panel.

Clear pic of the box before powder coat

Motor is looking great.

Nice job, it looks sweet!

Almost there !!
 

Thanks Wayne !!

Steve, very, very impressive!

Great work!

Edit, what were the dyno numbers again?

Thanks
 

Thanks Don
So looks like she's going to get fired up this week finally, when I have those dyno #rs in hand I will post them ...

Nice and well done job. Very clean and looks great.

Cool, I wasn't sure if it was tested at the flywheel.

Any expectations on the figures?

looks amazing
 

This is going to be one sick ride!!!!:RunninDog:

HP #rs
 

Don, Manny is expecting a little more than 700 at the wheels. He's done a few of these E Force's in Z06's with the exact same 'built' engines ... guess we'll see
Steve

Looking great Steve! where are you getting fresh air from the back of this cover? Do you have a cut-out anywhere?

Fender
 

So we expect to to get enough air through the open fender at the rear and through the front grill. And thanks for the comment !!

Sincerely
Steve

Start ???
