Well figured I'd start this... It's different sort of?

2006 Trailblazer SS
Spun a bearing on a fresh rebuild of stock ls2 piston smacking head, Good times had not by this guy... Shortly after installing a Performabuilt 4l70e/circle d 3k stall.

 

This a typical oil system failure that so many TBSS builds are prone to?

 

Yep been there

 

Soo I built a 404 stroker with Cnc ls3 heads and did a Holley high rise 102 here local. Used a c6 oil pan setup and flipped the crossmember and drilled new holes.

Here is the engine...

 

Here's some pics of the plumbing I did on intake. I welded a bung on the back of the intake for brake booster as well as the fuel lines. I used 42lb injectors... And adapters to get it to ls1 height and still using stock ls2 connectors. I used all aeroquip push lock hose and fittings. It turned out nice.

 

Did some more work got it in truck. Also has a Performabuilt 4l70e. I has a custom torque converter made for it. 3700stall with a ported stator. You can brake stall to 3k+ should help a bit in holeshot. Also is a billet hub single disk lock up. I built the combo roughly around a 200 shot did my best to get the best of both worlds so I don't have to rely completely on spray. Will be n/a for a year or so.

I'm building a custom cold air intake to pull air from lower grill from t6 aluminum in 4" I'll try to take a lot of pics. Tough to stop and snap a pic when the tigs fired up bumpin pandora.. But I'll try!!

Engine in..

 

Looks bad ***!!

Can't wait to hear how it runs.

 

Here is pic of 4" cold air I'm building. I was trying to get a smoother transition into the 102 throttle body.. It goes down between the electric fans then the Maf is in front of the fans and then continues down to the crossmember and runs parallel to the crossmember then curves up slightly with a cone filter behind the ss grill insert on passenger side. The driver side has the Trans cooler in the hole on the other side.

 

Here is the lower piece still being fabbed up I still need to weld some bosses on it to mount it to the lower subframe..

 

Here is lower piece installed turned out super clean I think, it dosent hang any lower than the sub frame. I excited to see what the combo makes. It's extremely snappy! Look close at SS grill the filter it directly behind.. Ready to go to dyno.. Anyone know of solid mounts for engine in these thing or do I have to make those too? The stockers are gonna get a work out with the cam in here...
