Got a call from Brian at LME the other day...I bought a 6.0 block off ebay and had it sent to him to have him do his magic. Turns out it is cracked from a cylinder to a water passage...He has a new block in his shop we are going to use now. Should be done simetime next week, im just out the cash I spent on that other one...shouldve gone with a new one in the first place.

Some guy on ebay, it was several months ago, trying to find it. Apparently it was in pretty bad shape when brian got it.

I don't buy anything off ebay unless its new stuff in one of the ebay stores.. I got burnt a long time ago on a set of wheels.


That's sucks but glad to hear its still in progress. Ready to see this thing done

Well got some good news; emailed the guy I bought that block from and he is going to give me half my money back even though its been 4 months since I bought the block so im satisfied with that, takes a bit of the sting away. Engine with a brand new block should be done some time this week *knock on wood*

Appearently I am the only guy in the LS world still wanting to use the L92 truck intake...I sent that picture above to nasty performance and the response I got was "wow, ive never seen that intake before" Not what you want to hear but the rails look awesome and line up perfectly with the injectors. John from FIC is shipping me some height adapters so everything should work perfectly...

John brought up a point about having a very long injector body (about 75mm in my case) may warp under high fuel pressure and high boost...
