My Long Block Build is Complete!

[blackbombshell95]

Dual stage Zex kit will arrive in the mail here soon with maximizer kit and 2 bottle openers. Plus 2 bottle bags. I'm zexerious.
I had to rebuy the maximizer kit(2nd 10lb bottle) and 2 bottle openers because they got stolen from my car.


BTW which cam did you decide to go with?

[3400-95-Modified]

Yeah I'm not "built" for spray, but I'm having the cam done to like it.

I've been very successful with a 100 shot on a stock setup (dynoed 60whp) so I'm not really that worried. I'm not looking at a 150 dual stage like you possibly.

My Plenum says 3100 too Except I have 3500 parts, you dont.

Nice build though... Thats gotta be a crazy amount of money there.

Ben is estimating 285 for my crank power with my new cam setup when I pull this motor to go in my new car... thats gonna be some nice power.

I'm not sure what 285 crank is in whp but it sounds like it should be close to me. I need him to run another simulation of mysetup. 250 whp or bust. And the engine was built for spray too. Little things like piston&valve coatings and flow matched heads should help with the nitrous

Good to hear that there is progress!

The longblock is complete and is in my dad's garage. I cleaned out my entire closet of car parts that are to go to my dad's garage on wednesday. Once my prizm is loaded their won't be room for even a gallon of milk. That is how much shit I got here.

My car will get towed there in about 2-4 weeks and then the build will begin. Wish me luck guys.

My plenum says 3100

[Superdave]

Where is he getting .015 shims that work with ls6 springs?

he's running the same SBC copper coated flat shims that i was running.

[blackbombshell95]

.015" shims


he's running the LS6 greens and stock pushrods so he may not bet getting full lift out of the cam, iirc it was damn close to coil bind though...

I don't think i' ll paint the plenum. They come from 60degv6 Store already painted and look badass!

I just want to paint the strut covers, dog bone mounts, fender braces, and valve covers all one color. Blue(same as the block), chrome, or gloss black.

[Superdave]

I think so too. But he has to be coilbinding with that much lift and ls6 springs.

I want to know how thick his shims are.

As long as you at least block sand the 3400 letters on the plenum shiny all black would be cool like 3400-modified's.

I bet Moon is glad that he was sent by mistake stage2 over a stage1 now haha.

My car is black. My interior Colors are BLUE. My calipers are blue. My center caps are blue. My engine block is blue.

I'm not sure if chrome is the right color. Either blue or gloss black? I'm not sure yet. But I need to decide here by monday.

if he would throw some specs up with the cams he's selling then he might sell a few more but i wouldnt buy one without knowing what i was getting, thats why i went with ben's.

The specs are all out on the net in various places.. i don't think he put much thought into them though... The stage 2 is decent but could use more duration.
