Alright guys, this engine is getting close to being finished. All I have
left to do is order my pushrods and install them. I'm hoping to have this thing installed and running within the next couple weeks. I bought a oil primer to fill the oiling system before she fires and I can't wait to use it.
Well damn guys I guess it's been too long since I've updated this build. The motor is running great! I had a few issues with getting the correct pushrod length and I left a plug out of the front of the block. After I got those headaches figure it out it fired right up and sounds awesome. I recently bought a Whipple 2.9 l blower and have removed my Magnuson 2.3 liter blower. The new blower will be installed within the next couple of weeks. I got to give a big shout-out to Rob. He has been a great help during this whole huge job! Plus his Cam that he specked for my truck is so badass!
I mocked up my new blower on my old motor. The bracket is a LS SIMPLE truck bracket that allows the alt to be moved to the driver's side a few inches to make room for the rotated throttle body. I have a LS3 water pump ordered and will be installing it soon.
