2/23

A shop in Arizona is really helping me out. Blue Pitt Kustoms, in Glendale Arizona sent me out a rotating assmebly that should be here in the next few days, I'm also sending my heads to them to get hand blended to the FAST102 intake. They also hooked me up with a Nick Williams 102 throttle body. Can't say enough about em. Look them up on facebook https://m.facebook.com/BluePittKustoms they really helped me out a ton. Michael got my whole build sorted out in one phone call. And he worked real well with the budget I had. Saved me probably $1k easily. Hit them up if you need some quality parts and some good advice on a build.

This week I have to get the fuel tank dropped so I can start on installing the DW300 pump. Going to be ordering some -an lines and fittings on Monday.

After that, I'm going to go ahead and do the stele braided brake lines. Then the car will just be waiting on the motor.

V Build

After much debate and someone banning out of buying the L76 I got, I am moving forward with the stroker build. It is going to be a 403ci using the L76 block as a base.

L76 (6.0L gen4 LS block that comes with LS3 style rectangular port heads) 4.005 bore, and 4 inch stroke.

Forged 4 inch crank, forged rods, and forged wiseco pistons. Shooting for around 10.5:1 static compression.

Heads are going to get a 5 angle valve job, ported runners on the intake and exhaust, upgraded gm trunnions in the stock rockers, .650 or .660 dual springs, and ferrea valves hollow intake, solid exhaust.

Intake, haven't decided, but leaning towards a 102/102 F.A.S.T. throttle body and manifold.

LS9 injectors.

Hoping for 500+ at the wheels. It should be more than that, but, I'll be happy with it anywhere above the 500 mark. It's not going to be a dyno queen. I fully intend to do track days, mile and half mile racing, and 1/4 mile. I'm going to be building it as stout as possible so I can beat the hell out of it.

Later upgrades are going to be a 8.8 or Ford 9 inch independent rear end, and a fresh build on the T56 so it can safely handler more power.
