Fancy putting TR class D out of reach?

Some nice parts.

Could be the perfect motor for a CV8, except it's 58x so a cheaper vxr8 fit.

Stick would be happy to MOT it. Anywhere else, probably not.

wild cam, be undriveable on the road about town.

....and there's no point in putting it in a VXR8, as they're not as slippery as Monaros when travelling fast.


It's always nice, for a NA build to rival FI, but as has been said, you will lose driveability.

Yes I was only jesting. It's a solid roller with .760 lift 270 duration on 110 lsa - So hardly a suitable DD. The idle consumption will be NASCAR levels.

Bet it sounds awesome and should be safe at 4.5" stroke with the CNC ls-next style block.

All-pro ls7 heads are supposed to be the nuts, perhaps Katech are one of few US maufacturers who don't overstate power.

It's also a large engine, which will to a degree tame the cam a little...but that really is a stload of lift and duration !

You could build something a little more sedate for a lot less money...and not too many billet blocks out there. Wonder how good they really are ?

It's actually not expensive, at 24k at least. The component cost is high. The crank for example must be an Ultra Billet. The CNC block is a fair premium over cast. The valvetrain and heads are high cost too.

As Stevie says much of it unneccesary, with nearly as much power available for much less.

The CNC block maybe offers perfect accuracy if done properly, with absolutely no core shift.
