Ok sorry to beat a dead horse. I do not have much time on the net tonight, and my connection is sucking today.

Ok here we go, I bought a LS1 short block with flycut pistons about a year ago. My buddy went witha forged bottom end for a F/I setup and well, I was going to forge this one to do the same to my C5. I already had a ATI on it but I wanted the insurance to go with teh boost . ANyway i traded that off about a year ago lol, and now have a short block without a home. I am buying a set of LS6 heads, with dual rev srpings, pushrods and a Z06 cam. That is the base of what I am up to here are my questions.

Since this is not going in the C5 I am putting it in my 99 ECSB Z71. My 5.3 has 180,000 mile on it. I tow and want low end, what kind of a cam should I go with? I know you hate those kinds of questions but thing is I been messing with F/I on the vettes more then I have been payign attention to Cam trends lately. And basically I want this motor to make some good power but I want more low end then topend, without sacrificing driveability.

Depending on a cam, I know a convertor is in store for me, but is there a link to what I can transfer and what i cannot whn it comes time to drop that motor in? In other words i understand I need e-fans right? What else will not work? I want to keep this at a budget basically. I will spend the money if I have to but I have less then 1000 in this motor already lol adn I am not wanting to go over 2000 yet. Does the intake work? DO i need to rig a new coolant setup? I knwo some of you knwo this help me out please.


Thanks guys

Damon

 

Thanks, well I am going with the LS6 heads because I am getting a screamin deal on them. With the short block I will have less then 1000 in this setup. I do not tow much more then 4000 lbs, my boat is 3300 dry. I want the block to basically pull about 425 at the crank. Thanks Tx
