Keep up the good work Ken, its good to see you posting again.

Can you tell me more bout the link type lifters on an LS platform? I'm curious how they work with the lifter box or in its absence.

 

Man didnt know that had happened to your motor, oh well always room for improvement. Truck is gonna move out really good when finished... Waiting on the start up video lol

 

this could explain a lot of the issues as far as time wise there sunshine.

 

I know this was spec'd, but why the +5? With your track goals and spinning the engine to 6700, wouldn't you want less advance?

 

I have no idea what they spec'd what they spec'd. As long as it runs what i want i dont care

It has forged pistons in it with 4cc piston volume so i have 10:82 cr vs my 11:1 like i wanted.

 

Oh and the trays are removed to install the link bar lifters

 

finished yet?

 

Nah. Pretry close though. Being on shift work kills me bc when im on days i dont get home early enough. When im on nights i only have a couple hour window to work on it. Yet these last 2 weeks ive been working so much i just havent had much time to mess with it.

Jegs is sending me more msd wire being i ran out. I had to redesign the carrier bearing mount.
Today ill be finishing the carrier mount, the trans mount. Then if i have time ill be adding oil and water to the system. Finish all that today hopefully.

Its a pretty short list now.
Add oil. Prime oil system
Add water. Bleed system
Change trans filter and fluid
Trans mount
Carrier mount
Weld leaf perches
Rework Y pipe

 

Trans mount and carrier mount at complete. Just gotta paint everything. Its not a fun task to try and fit your head with a welding hood between the body and frame to see where the mig gun is pointed.

 

How are you going to prime the oil system?
