I finally did it! I've been planning so long, I forgot when I told myself my deadline to order was. I am getting a 6.0l from Rex, with WCCH stage 2 6.0l heads, I'll have more on the specs later. FLT level5 65e with a billet output shaft, and hd stock converter. I plan on breaking it in for a few months until the TVS comes out, then I'm going to go fi.

 

Congrats....I am jealous. I want to have those guys (WCCH) build me a short block to use under the TVS as well, then I could put my current setup in a scsb or sell it......I hope my Christmas bonus is big

 

ditto on the bonus, it will definately help with the supercharger.

 

excellent choices! Richard and Rex will take good care of you!

 

Thanks, they already have, any questions I had, they answered.


By the way when are you going to be finished?

 

how are you getting a hd stock converter (80e) to work with a 65e trans?

congrats on the motor build

 

The way Chuck at FLT explained it was that it is a stock 60e converter, with an anti-ballooning plate, and something else that I can't remember right now that makes it a hd 60e converter.

 

ohhh, i thought you were saying that you were going to use a stock converter from a 2500HD truck. sounds good

 

Cam specs 212/218 .558/.563 @114
The cr will be 9.3:1
Stock crank
Probe pistons/connecting rods
WCCH stage 2 cylinder heads

I'm trying to decide which lt headers to go with. I would like stainless, but don't like the price-tag. I've looked at the OBX, but have read they fit sometimes, but sometimes not. I like the pacesetters, but in ohio I'm pretty sure rust will be a problem.

Any opinions from someone in the north east on this?

 

Everything is in except the cam. I'm so excited I can't sleep very well. I ordered OBX lt with y pipe, water pump, motor mounts, trans mounts.

Pics of parts, and build sometime next week.
