Change of plans

I wont be using the 5.3. In a month or two Im gonna buy a 6.0L(Iron) block, some L92 heads and a L76 intake will find their way onto the 6.0L. Also it wont be a 6.0L when its dropped into the Iroc . still gonna be turbo but I may get something bigger then the GT45 I have

Awesome the 6.0 is the LQ9 correct? That is defintely the way to go and will be my next engine build when I am ready for it. Unless GM offers something better at the time.

I just hope to actually see your car run someday, Don't keep changing plans just to get the newest best thing, Otherwise I fear you may never be finished.

I still plan to complete it some time next year, I have to now. Mom said no more projects until the Iroc is finished , so now Im thinking about selling the gixxer. That $$$ will go towards my rotating assembly


BTW: 6.0L block new from GM is $700

Awesome Terrell, that new 6.0 is supposed to be the new sh*t, can't wait to see it actually come together and run someday. As Travis said keep these plans on track so we can see her run, lol.
