      I always like to see the in's and outs of this stuff. The tech is great, but it would be cooler to see you at YOE, and if it was with the car...so much better.

      Bingo, although I wont have time to install it until next winter at the earliest.

      Andrew, any idea on what you expect the Hp to be? Are you going to dyno it? On the intake assy? ( I'm assuming it came with injectors ( size? ) and rails )

      My goal is to make 420-430rwhp and have a broad torque curve. I am not sure if the LS7 cam will get me there, but time will tell. I will have it on the dyno once it is done.

      The intake assembly comes with LS7 injectors, which are about 40 lb/hr, and came as you saw in the picture. Intake, throttle body, rails, injectors, map sensor. Excellent value.

      Today I got a few more pieces of the puzzle. I was exploring the Keisler website and I looked in the "clutch actuation" section. Their hydraulic kit seemed like exactly what I was looking for. I only got the partial kit that does not include the hydraulic throwout bearing. Keisler is in the market of selling Tremec transmissions, so the TOB is designed to mount on a TKO. I have a Richmond, so I will connect the dots from the MC. Looks like a quality piece and exactly what I need. The MC has a 3/4" bore and a travel of 1.5". That should make just about any hydraulic bearing puke its guts, so I will have to mock everything up and make sure that the bearing is not being over extended.



      I also ordered a Quarter Master street throw out bearing.

      Well I guess I'm late to the party as usual. Glad to see you found an engine and have made all this great progress. At this rate you'll be done by May timeframe. A few questions for you. Is the block aluminum, are the heads ported, and did you remove the VVT?

      Looks great Andrew. Sorry I missed this thread. I feel like an idiot. LOL!!!

      You haven't read the thread! LOL.

      Engine is stock except for the LS7 cam and valve springs.

      It was too much reading...I just looked at the pictures. LOL!!!

      I'm going to go through it today. This is definitely an interesting build and I have a feeling you might have saved some bucks along the way.

      Today I got some more parts for the swap. I got a starter, power steering pump, and a bunch of little parts to complete my accessory drive system. What I have here is basically the C5/C6 layout.



      I also received the GM Performance Parts harness and ECU package. Pretty good value when you consider that it is very complete. It comes with a big relay center and an auxiliary fuse panel that needs to be mounted somewhere. Its fairly ugly so I don't really know where I am going to put it yet.

      Nope. In order to install the AC compressor in the stock location the frame needs to be notched. I am not doing that. Good old 2x70 AC for me.

      The benefits of being a bachelor and living alone include being able to have a bunch of car parts in the living room and not hearing "THE DISPOSAL IS CLOGGED!!!" LOL

      Besides the engine swap I am doing some suspension mods. I already have some coilovers in the front. The springs in the front are 550 lb/inch. They were marginal with the big block. I think they will work very well with the L92, so for now I am not messing with them. In the rear I currently have some springs that I got way back in the day, from HO Racing.

      Who remembers them? If you do, your old!!!

      I wanted the ability to adjust the ride height in the rear and more importantly have the ability to properly set the corner weights once the car is done. There are all kinds of solutions to accomplish this, I chose a very nice product from Budzter:

      https://www.budzter.com/index.html

      Not cheap, but the quality is outstanding and it is a true bolt on. No hacking of the rear is required and its fully reversible. I like that. The spring is 9.5" tall, 175 lb/inch from the Coleman Racing catalog.

      Now thats nice, drill holes for access and you can adjust the rear suspension on a quick pit stop.

      How does the adjustment hold once made? locknut?

      F-body motorsports sells a kit that lets you put a radial style ac compressor on an ls series motor on the high right (passenger) side. You'll need to get lines fabbed for it but it would work. I think the kit is for a third gen F-body, but it should work to get an ac compressor from a third gen to work in your car, that way you shouldn't need to notch the frame. It just isn't as astheticly pleasing an appearance as the lower mounted axial compressors are.

      If you look at the screw part you can see little holes that are drilled for safety wire.

      I got my Vette regulator/filter combo the other day. There are many ways to make it work in custom applications. I chose to go to the local hydraulic supply store and get some fittings. The compression fittings were about $12 bucks for the pair. Steel, made by Eaton. Dorman and autoparts stores can officially kiss my ass. The little tube in the picture was 16 bucks. Grrr....
