Yeah, it would have been fun, but it just makes too much sense (both in terms of time and money) to put it in the C5.

Big bada boom update:

LSX 427 got divorced from the engine stand today so I could put the clutch on. I got hung up needing pilot bearing, but should have the engine going in the vette tomorrow (unless there is some hassle I need to clean up in the engine bay first).

The new specs:
LSX 427 (callies compstar crank and rods, weisco pistons)
Edelbrock 245's / WCCH P&P (and these are beauties... pics to follow)
LGM G5x3 cam (237/246 .600/.608 113lsa -- installed with 2* retard to make it a 113.5 ICL and 113 ecl)
cts-v lifters
crane race gold 1.7 roller rockers (comp pushrods)
competition clutch stage 2
SLP 25% UD pulley
ARH 1 7/8 long tubes
ARH 3x3 non-catted X pipe
Corsa cat back

This will be mated to a MM12 tranny and 3.42 Z06 rear.

The CR for this beast will now be 10.7:1

I'm building the 408 for the truck again as soon as I get the vette running. It's the block on the floor in the last pic

Let's see... I have:

4 super duty 32 inch lift stands
2 cheapo yellow stands that came with one of my jacks
2 very nice 28 inchers
and 4 new 28 inchers for the vette

Is that too many? I may need more.


IMO, jack stands are kinda like hammers. And engine blocks. Oh, and floor jacks. And engine stands. And turbos. You just can't have too many


Clear?
