My 69 Camaro, "Project Stance"

[DFRESH]

And, of course, if it's on an engine stand in the garage, why not pull it apart to check it out.

I wanted to verify parts from the list to ensure crank, cam, rods, pistons, etc all checked out to spec's. Thus far, all is very well internally with the motor--Pistons are Wiseco forged/coated blower specific, rods are legit, etc.. My plan now is to stud the heads and mains here at the house, and give the heads a once over since I may be pulley this motor for some additional boost. This motor had about 400 miles or so on it.

To that end, I pulled the heads and have them over at the FUEL GOD here in So Cal, Bob McCray. He is verifying the previous work done to them; double checking valves are what they are supposed to be from build sheet, porting and bowl work is legit, springs for height, valve job, etc., then do some flow checking for me.

Hopefully I can start putting this back together in the next week or so.







So far, the LS is pure joy to work with--except for all the metric crap. It's way easier than the SBC I was used to dealing with.

Really?

Some guy on the interwebs around here (who claims he has some quasi NASCAR connections) sez that them LS'sss are a lot tougher to work on than them SBtoos.

Nevertheless, yer budget setup is lookin' good BiggDubU.

He could be one of several.

Yeah, and a #BigRed redneck too. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The Nor Cal Redneck. NCR stickers should be made. I would use them to replace my "Camaro Performers" one I still have stuck to my rear windshield.

I'll replace it when I put the subframe in---sometime soon---

Not so far my brother-----everything has been pretty straight forward, although it's still early.

I just wasn't thinking I would be reaching into my metric tools to take the motor apart---good thing I had them.
