[Brummmie]

The price was just sooooo tempting i had to have it

[AlVal]

tell more!!!

[TvrJohn]

LS7 ?

[David Smith]

barking mad ...

[Brummmie]

No LS3 (6.2ltr), so slight overbore 10thou combined with my stroker crank= 6850ish, £450 for the block just had to have it, dammed shipping and taxes on top but, well you can see where i'm coming from!!!

So that will make two of us then...

I should be ordering the rotating assembly for mine this week.

I know! I know! I just can't make up my mind on what colour I am going to choose

Have you made up your mind on what pistons you are going to get?

[Brummmie]

Looks like Mahle forged with 8cc reliefs, 11.8:1 compression. Subject to availability.

[eLSerbera]

11.8:1 ... Yikes so only Super unleaded for you then...

I am going for -15cc dish for 11:1 with universal valve reliefs.

Wiseco seem to have the closest to what I am looking for but I am still going have to have them custom made.


Edited: you wouldn't know english is my first language...

Mad, excellent stuff..

[eLSerbera]

Just re-read yours Brummie - you are getting the block honed from the beginning?

So your engine will be a 417 and mine will be 416...

You know with the bigger bore you could get a set of ETP 4" bore LS7 heads - they would make you alittle more power than the Darts you have now well that is what I am aiming for in future, the options of having the bigger bore

Still the LS2 heads I have should be sufficient for at least the first year of fun...

[BikealarmBlair]

So if I'm reading this right

Your heads are now wrong/too small

You exhaust is pants

& once you buy proper heads PatrickG's cam won't be right either ;-)

[plasticman]

If you are after some good heads I have some spare C5r heads that I could be tempted to part with , David
