how much hp do you think youll be looking at??

[LeighP]

Besides being a cool way to make HP and RPM....those are just straight out eye candy.

[Topfuel dragracer]

I figure that at 10 lbs boost or so 750 hp at the rear. With the six speed paddle auto the will be a fun ride and still stay together. Want something when it done that I don't spend every week end working on would like to drive and show it some.

[68400BIRD]

WOW! Great job so far. I think I'll stick to the old V-8's a little longer. LOL When my 400 dies I might look into the LS series of engines.

[NOPANTS-68]

whew!- An awesome looking assembly. Probably my all time favorite powerplant. Thanks for sharing.

I love thoes motors...

I love thoes motors...

I agree, they always make me smile when I see one.

[Topfuel dragracer]

I got the engine assembled now and in the car had to do a few mods to the fuel rails as under boost they would bend from the injectors pushing on them. Finished the hoses like the fuel , oil to remote filter and the power sterring lines to the mustang rack. Built the crank trigger for the fast system. Still using the cam posistion sensor but had to make the crank trigger. Will show picture of that. Went to coil on plug ang got rid of the waste spark system . Got all the links built for the air ride stuff. Just all the little things that eat time up. I will post pictures of the final mock up tomorrow. Then strip it down and powder coat the frame and start all the body work on the main car cant wait to drive this beast. Mike

Holy smokes, I forgot about this project! Such a cool engine to put in a Camaro. Any numbers from the Dyno?

[WS6]

wow I forgot about this build too. I'm glad it's still out there and being built. I'm anxious to see pictures on your progress.

[PhillipM]

You should just keep with one thread, rather than make a new one when you have updates. This will keep all of your information in one place... Just a suggestion.

[shmoov69]

WooD!!!

[Six_Shooter]

*drool* One of my favorite engines. :revto9k:

[srh3trinity]

Nice build. As much as I like the look of an LS engine, that is one of the more visually pleasing engines that Chevy has built.

[chumscustoms]

i have been waiting to see some lt5 builds the capabilities of that motor should be high. Cant wait to see the outcome ive driven a stock zr1 and that thing moved in stock for cant imagine twin turbos
