Yeah I do need to do that huh. lol

 

Sweet, very nice Sean, now....get that sucker together.

 

I hope to get it done this weekend. I need to put a shed up theis weekend also so I am not to sure when, but this weekend for sure.

 

now thats cool

 

I have it all together and in the car with the help of the wife everything went pretty smooth except for the new crossmeber, had to adjust the holes for it to line up (skullet one). I need to get it wired up and the rest of the stuff. I will hope to have all of that done this coming week, I am putting up a shed the rest of the weekend so tomarrow is shot. I will post up some pics later.

 

Looks good.What cam are you going to put in it?

 

I am running the CC306 cam from my old block

 

^ Dude, that engine looks absolutely beautiful. How long do you plan on running the CC-306...?

 

Man that looks good. I want a wife like that! LOL..

 

got ur summit hat on and everything lol... looks nice... get it done so we can see some numbers

 

Had to laugh, my wife got so sick of me puttering with my LTx that in the end she was standing on the front of the cars radiator support turning the load leveler..

Looks good, I am jealous.. still a foot or so of snow here, garage is 20 degrees and the car is sleeping..

BTW what throttle body is that? Summit?

 

well I plan on running the cc306 till I dyno tun it, if I dont get good #'s it is coming out.

This one was cake compared to the first time I put the lt1 in. lol ,and she helped with that one also. I guess after 15 years of marrage,and messing with cars she has picked up alittle.

And yes that is the summit 58 mm TB

 

looks great sean!

 

sweet! gettin' exhausted this weekend, lol!!!

 

How about some details? Who built the shortblock and how much was it? What heads?

I'm finally able to finish my LT1 swap this summer, and I'm thinking of building something a little more wild than I had in mind, so I'm just curious what other people have going on.

 

well I will not say who I got this block off of, I had alot of issues with the builder and the way they treats there customers, although the quality looks ok from what I can tell. this is a 383 with 11:1 compression with 64cc heads, all forged internals, splayed caps balanced and blue printed. heads are factory castings 54cc that have been hogged out by ******* racing out of Texas, .100th longer 2.0/160 stanless valves, 1.6 NSA R/R, chromoly 1.60 pushrods, fully posted intake, 58mm TB, 42 injsctors, cc306 cam for now. getting it dyno tuned next weekend.

 

thatswhat i am talking about cant wait to see more progress on your build bud woot woot...

 

well it got stopped, got it started and having oiling issues, coming back out for new oil pan and ck it over to make sure I didn't hurt it, with the lifters not getting oil to the heads. thing I got that fixed noe just need to make sure it isn't hurt

 

well looks like the oiling thing is fixed, just waiting for comp to send me a new pro mag, one is machined wrong, should be finished up this weekend, and added a electric w/p and canton oil pan....cant wait to actually here her come to life

 

That sucks! Hope that engine turns out well (coming from dynoflo). Post some pics when your done with install (again LOL)

 

Well all the oiling thing is fixed, Replaced the lifters with some OEM type and worked as adverticed. Now on the new problem one of the freeze plugs started to leak, it is the one under the engine mount so I had to raise the engine remove the header and I could get to the Darn thing, looked like it wasn't in far enought so I taped it in were it should be and still leaked. I am using a pressure tester and couldnt get it to stop so I pulled it out, well by the time I got it out it was to late the Parts houses were closed so it will have to wait till monday. told the wife no cars tomarrow family time. come to find out the engine buider must not have looked to closely at the plugs this one had a good size gouge in it, no biggy get a new on in it monday, and this is with out pulling the engine. Anyways Here are a few pics that the Wife snaped with the drag wheels on and the engine before I pulled it apart again.

 

Yea. I don't like dyno-flo! But i'm happy its some what working out for you. Hope its running soon! Its gettin warm out. Time to cruise

 

That thing is Friggen Gorgeous!!!!!

Droool.

 

Man that has to be the sweetest third gen i have ever seen
