86 Monte SS getting an LS2

[Samckitt]

Some stuff I have decided to do:

Mast oil pan, it showed up today.



It doesn't have oil baffles, but they have some oil control structures built into the casting. G forces from cornering will pull oil from one side through a slot in the wall & cause the oil to pass by the oil pump pickup.


Thinking about having the casting machined for a flat surface & mount a couple of these above the oil openings.


Going to swap out the LS2 heads for LS3 ones, they have bigger sodium filled valves, & obviously flow better. Got a Camaro LS3 intake on the way to mate to the heads. Hoping the stock LS2 throttle body will fit on it.



Then for a cam, probably going with one from Lloyd Elliott with mid 230ish duration on intake, upper 230ish exhaust, .61x/.62x lifts. Can't remember exact specs.
