Start of a mess...

You're going to love the LSA supercharger! What a great upgrade.

Have to thank you, as you convinced me to go this direction and shared quite a bit of insight.

How much boost do you plan to run? And I can't remember, what motor do you have?

11#s of boost on a crate 6.2 LS3 7.96 Crank Pulley with a 2.45 upper

Got a chance to work on finishing putting the heads back together. Removed the coil relocation brackets off the back of the block, as I’m moving to the Wegner hidden valve covers. Going to tackle a little more clean up and swap a few hoses, then fit the lower. Oh, and those valve retainers were a pain in my ass on a few lol

Great number to shoot for. That's almost exactly what I'm running in my car, but I have a 2.50" upper. I'm hitting around 11 psi on full boost. A few things crossed my mind that you may want to consider. The way that the injectors are located in the LSA lower, they are very tight, as well as the coil locations on the valve covers. I was planning to use my stock coils and relocate the brackets down about 1" so that everything would clear. I came across a deal on a set of Holly valve covers, so I ended up running those. My point is to check and make sure that you'll have the clearance you need before going with those hidden valve covers.

Also, have you removed the dowel pin in the LSA lower? If not, you won't be able to bolt them down to the LS3 heads. The dowel pin is in a different location. If you can find/make a jig for drilling the heads you can do that, or a lot of guys use a chisel and break the dowel off.

My understanding from Wegner was, there shouldn't be an issue with fitment, fingers crossed. I have not removed the dowel, yet, but that is the plan. I had asked you about that jig, but believe you no longer had it. Not a big deal, sounds like that is what everyone does with these lowers and haven't heard any issues. Fingers crossed there, too, I suppose.

Got the front drive on today and test fit the lower. Would have liked to get the lower bolted down, but forgot to order the intake manifold bolts 🤦🏼*♂️. Oh well, should be here Tuesday and I’ll slap them in. I’m hoping to have everything under the hood done by the end of next weekend. Couple of pics

[joeko23]

Will you be able to close the hood?

[Senek67RS]

Will you be able to close the hood?

we checked and the lid fits with about an inch of clearance. Was worried for a second as well lol

[joeko23]

That’s great! A lot of peoples don’t including mine. Maybe its because you didn’t put the LSA plastic cover?

[ryeguy2006a]

Wow, that engine bay looks incredible! Looks right at home.

As far as I can tell, it looks like I have enough clearance. And yes, I am not using the engine cover.

Thanks, bud! I have to say, I am extremely happy with the way things are turning out.

That looks great in there, the Wegner is a sweet setup. The engine cover won't fit it hit on mine.

But it did fit without the cover, or did you have to trim the hood?

[Motown 454]

Yup! no problem.

[Senek67RS]

Yup! no problem.

thanks, Wayne, that’s what it looked like to me as well

[JuStBlAzIN]

Amazing work! Looks like it is out of a magazine.

Wow that looks so good! Nice work! I am excited for the amazing turn out!
