Well everything is about ready to go in soon. Just need to wait for the cam to get here. Get some gaskets, converter reflashed (already at circle D), someone to buy my injectors, and some fluids and that should be about it. Maybe some pushrods also lol

Here is the whole new setup.

04 GTO LS1 rebuilt with new rings, bearings, and ARP rod bolts. New cam bearings were put in by West Side Machine shop and the engine was rebuilt by Carlos.
Cleaned up and milled .015 243 heads (Done by WCCH) to achieve 11.0:1 compression, Patriot dual gold springs
230/234 600/602 111+1lsa EPS cam
stock truck intake
42# 8.1 marine injectors
Melling oil pump
LS7 lifters with new trays
New LS2 timing chain set
re-using all the sensors off the 5.3l and the pick-up tube, oil pan, windage tray, and the stock rocker arms.
3800 9.5 3B (not 3C) single disc circle D stall
And of course the same bolt ons and the same crappy transmission and differential that are already on the truck

Hopefully the cam will come in soon and ill get the stall done soon so everything can be dropped in!

Gonna be sic fo sho ..What kinda numbers are you shooting for??? Hp and 1/4

 

Sweet build!

That bitch will haul!!

Great looking truck!

 

Hoping to make around 390-400hp. If i hit 400 on the dyno with the converter locked i would be a happy camper lol

Ill be happy with mid 12's with it in the 1/4 on slicks but if i hit anything lower it will be icing on the cake. Im sure it will do better than that in good weather but im not gonna set my goals to high yet lol.

 

Thanks man!

Should run a lot better than my old cammed 151k mile 5.3l
