not interested in heads (sorry!) but what was the story with the dropped valve? Was your car stock, did you hit the limiter??

I think real LS3 valves are hollow stem and might have the head attached separately during manufacturing.

The valves where 2 piece friction welded, it was just unfortunate luck that the head came off the valve.
No probs with rev limiter etc.

Not the first, and won't be the last, but he did have a nice cam smacking the (two piece stock) valves.

so it wasnt a stock engine? I'm just curious as to whether it was modified or not

Spence will tell you the details, but it was stock with cam/springs.

A little birdy tells me the rebuild is going to be an awesome spec!

if you need an ls1 ecu why not just get a roadrunner and perm run with that? Real time updates, yes please

Cam would fit any LS engine with the right timing gear. But IMO its too big for daily use in anything under 400 cubes. It wont pass emissions either. You could run it in a smaller engine, but would need to spin it hard to get into the power band. Just my 2p.
