Well my dad has decided he needs a ls motor in his 79 scottsdale (made me so proud) so I bought him a 6.0. The engine was slightly rusted on one cylinder so I decided we needed to bore it and to keep it cheap bore it to a the bore of a L92 and use that rotating assembly. Buying the L92 assembly for 400$ and new rings and bearings will be used. Ls6 cam, ls6 springs, stock 317 heads, tbss intake with a 90mm throttle body and stock manifolds with (QUITE) duals for now. Stock converter and a 4L80 will be the drivetrain... Ill try and get some pics up when I can..

 

sounds like its gonna be a good build, post up some pictures asap lol

 

did some sanding yesterday.. took me an hour to do the one... i plan one day to make him buy a set of sbc headers for his truck and ill just bend them and reweld the ls flanges on them. but for now its manifolds

 

Lol makes you wish you had a sand blaster I bet. Looks a lot better though good work.

 

How well would the "old man" truck cam from thunder racing do with the stock 80e converter? 214/220 .600/.523 115 lsa

 

you can use Fbody LT headers and they clear everything..

that should do good, what gears, xcase and tires is he running?

im runnin a 215 .566 114 isky in my LQ4 and its nice power all thru the power band and really shines 4k+

 

No idea on any of that lol its kinda a learning experiance for me on the xcase.. Ill have more info and pics tomorrow

 

well here is a picture of the turck, looks rough but mind you we are gonna do a complete resto... and still hunt with it

this is the motor along with the heads, wiring harness, etc....

nice! im thinking of using pacetter 1 3/4 headers since they seem to be a good budget header and still make nice power.
