very clean. I like how you did your steam lines. Congrats on getting it done.

[hifi875]

thxs, the guy who did the work was very detailed in everything. i did do some of the work, but very little. it is amazing how long it takes

What kind of A/C compressor and mout are you using?

[hifi875]

sanden sd7 and vintage air mount that adapts to the factory corvette compressor bracket. at first it still stuck out too far and it the mounting bosses were cut down a 1/2 inch (i believe) to tuck it in to the block.

Looks good! What headers/oil pan are you using? Are those BRP mounts? Any pictures of the underneath? Curious about exhaust/oil pan clearance.

i hear a zo6 cam inst very friendly when it comes to carb tuning. there was a thread about it on ls1tech

[hifi875]

yeah ive heard it both ways, not going to do it until i get some milled z06heads to go with it. it does very well w/the ls1 cam in now.

[DCx]

i have a carbed ls1 as well. very fun stuff.

I am anxious to hear how the z06 cam performs in the 5.3 (hp wise) does it still sound stock? Also, why are you going to zo6 heads ? The 5.3 heads give you a better compression ratio than the LS1 / LS6 heads do. Does milling them bring the CR back in line?

LS6 heads have better flowing ports. They are not the same as LS1 heads. LS6 heads > 5.3L heads
