TA alive
Still have to tune and get exhaust on. But it sounds great so far. It is the larger edelbrock carbed LS grinds.

Re: TA alive
i read a while back one of your posts, and I remember seeing that you get these LS engines but you don't really rebuild them you just throw on a carb intake and a carb and maybe a cam. now if this is true how reliable are the engines, after you put them in the cars and go on bout your business?

Re: TA alive
To be determined, but I doubt I will make the trip. But still trying to see.
Most I stuff a cam in and spin them to 7200 rpm with springs and pushrods. But yea, throw them in after a cleaning of the outside, some times not, and beat the crap out of them. My 6.0 went nearly 4 years before I spun a main. That's because I ran it low on oil.

Re: TA alive
Here is the exhaust:
Here is a better test drive:
My dad cannot shut up for the life of me any time i want him to be quiet.
Here is a couple pics at the exhaust shop:


Drives fantastic. I am pleased, but still dying to get it to the track. Will run allot harder when i up the shifts to 6900 as well.
