should have had me come over and lift it out of your truck.. did you smash it or something?

 

Congrats on the new block, hope your finger's OK (got any pics...of the finger). Didn't take you too long to get tired of the new heads and cam huh? You swap internal engine parts more than GMCtrk swaps headers lol.

 

I did not loose a finger... I did slice it thou and it bleed like a bitch... All is well thou... Oh and while driving the block over to my house it slid in the bed and smashed the back part of the bed, but it is a truck bed so no biggie and the block is fine...

Pics will be up soon of all the goodies and the parts i need to finish it off...

Thanks again Chase!

 

All those long hours at work sure are paying off. What kinda time frame you looking at doing the swap?

 

how did you slice it? and sometime can i come over and get my truck logged? just for an update in your computer. possibly next weekend?

 

June/July... I got to buy a few more goodies, not to mention another CAM

Here are some pics


















As you can see the previous owner blew a hole right threw the piston... The piston wall is just fine, it has a minor scratch in it, barely noticable... The block will be fully machined and balanced so i am not worried about it..

 

looks good corey. when are you taking the block to the shop? are you going to get a built trans or new converter while doing the swap?

 

As for the parts i am going to get....

Cam will be something like 228/230 .6XX/.6XX @ 111+? It is a FTI (Ed Curtis grind) Street Sweeper HT...

I am also going to get a timing chain, haven't picked one out yet, new oil pump (maybe ported), all new sensors, LS6 valley cover, LS7 lifters (i think that is what they are called)...

 

I had Chase drive my truck and he thinks it has a good bit of life left in it, so I got some time on that one... I mainly just need to adjust the TC pressures it what he recommended... The block will be going to the shop in July...

 

all new sensors is going to be pricey...
