NEW RIDE LS7/T56 swapped 81 Bu

[Great White Drake]

Tin foil...

Why come the fuck I've never thought of that.. Brilliant!

Dude, so much easier than taping everything off lol.

Finally got the front end painted how I wanted. With all the trim being blacked out I thought it needed some black up front to break it all up. Before it was all body color.

Just got the headers back from Powdercoat and the motor has been fixed 8 intake valves, all new springs, and one exhaust valve later. Also needed a valve job and cleaned everything up thanks to B&C speed shop. Carl @redlinepowertrain also finished up my 4l80 with trans brake. Currently converter shopping if anyone has a suggestion I’m all ears. Leaning towards Hughes,ptc, or another yank.

Before and after pics of the headers.

Mid/high 3000’s. I had a SS4k in my Chevelle that actually flashed to 4800 and it was a bit much for street driving for my taste. The problem is trusting someone with this kind of odd combo.

...Nice and how much gear out back?

I respect that Phil is so secure in his sexuality that he comfortably swapped a dogmatic in place of a 6 speed

You plan to run it naturally aspirated for now?

 

[Great White Drake]

Yes, but a little spray in the future. I don’t fully trust the 8.5 rearend so it’ll be after I put in a 9”.

You ever figure out what cam is in that motor? What heads are you running?

 

[DEEZUZ]

Sounds like mine and I got stock ls7 cam

 

[Great White Drake]

Yes I got ahold of the guy that built it through a friend that knew the car. He sent me the cam card. Heads are trick flow 245 cnc.

I didn't realize you were running 245 heads or the larger displacement. Healthy cam for that combo! I'm jelly
