What do you call highly tuned?
What modifications have been carried out?
What is its use?
What hours/mileage has it done?
Yeah I see where your going with this, very good point!What modifications have been carried out?
What is its use?
What hours/mileage has it done?
Swiss toni - if your doing this because you think it might be a good idea, then in reality it maybe a utter waste of time and money, these engines do mega miles in the states, strong, reliable engines etc etc
a simple oil change maybe all it needs
good saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Unless you are red-lining the engine at every change and not letting it warm up properly before that thrashing..... or you have not changed the oil and filter for 50,000 miles.....................go ahead.
I suspect most of us change the oil and filter about every 3000 miles or less, let the engine warm up before belting it and if you red line it at every change you will need to order a coffin before it needs an engine rebuild!
A second vote for "if it ain't broke don't fix it".

Really? that's a shame, he dynoed and worked on my SBC - was hoping he would do some more work 
A SBC is a historic engine isn't it!!!Paul
Though technically the LS series is also SBC (Gen III-IV).
TBH all these engines are real dinosaurs,(push rods? This is 2014 FFS) though it is the engine that keeps the Ultima "authentic" IMO.
Peter knight is probably one of the most respected v8 engine builders here in the UK. I'd be amazed if he wouldn't take n an LS engine!
However, he only works on the the engine (he doesn't have room for complete cars) so you'd need to get it out of the car and delivered to him. Al that being said I'd echo the sentiment of one of the earlier posts, 'what kind of abuse could you subject an LS7 engine too that would require a 're-fresh'?'

Getting back on track, might someone have any recommendations on engine builders that are good with LS engines?
What do you call highly tuned? What modifications have been carried out?

Answer these and I may have answer to your question.
lol, sometimes in life people don't want to listen, maybe a ford focus maybe more suitable to ones needs lol Gassing Station | Ultima | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
