I made the mistake of ordering the carb when I originally planed on running the motor in stock form. So I'm stuck with it for the moment and will just put it on the wife's bbf 78 bronco after fire up and a little run time. Now that I've stepped up so much I'm thinking a 1050 dominator might be a...

Pops is coming over this weekend cause this is a father son project and were gonna bang out the most important details. Gotta degree the cam, check piston to valve clearance and check for pushrod length. Then hopefully we can start assembly and get this thing buttoned up. All the specialty...

Gotta ditch the cheap valve covers for some fabricated sheet metal units too!

My awesome wife picked up the heads for me. Now I'm just waiting on the pushrod length checker tool and degree wheel and bigger oil pan. So I can check everything and start assembly!

True! Local buider got the heads done in a hurry, picking them up tomorrow and am stoked to start assembling what I hope will be 600hp beast! I also verified for sure I've got the forged goods in the bottom end!

Already dropped the pan to inspect and get ready for all the new parts. Found the casting number and what appears to be the good dimple rods with 7/16 bolts! Could this have come with a hv oil pump and deeper pan too?

Picked this crate motor up a while back. Its all forged internals the number on the crate was 366250. Anyone know more specific info on it. Any idea how much power the stock forged internals can handle? Any idea where I'd find the casting number on the crank to know for sure if its forged or any...

Set the big single plane on but decided to pull the trigger on aluminum heads. Waiting on assembly. Going to be slow going at this rate.

Yeah, after he setup my heads for the springs. He wanted to check for pushrod length. Which is kinda how this started spiraling and snowballing. I figure why put all this time and money into the stock iron castings if I can shed 100lbs and make more power with aluminum and hopefully even recoup...

Definitely and I will ask the builder what push rods. Project is snowballing quickly! Decided to sell the stock iron heads and go with a set of aluminum ones.

I was finally able to start collecting and buying parts to get this project rolling. I decided to go with a powerglide so I could do the work myself. I also picked up a full roller cam setup. Its a comp magnum with .262/.262 @ .050 and .652/.652 lift and matching springs. Along with a set of...

Thanks for unlocking. Just wanted to do a little update.

I know a roller cam is better but can I get away with a solid flat tappet cam for now and what might that recommendation be?

Yup, they are 188 heads and I was leaning towards either the Victor Jr or Victor as well but maybe a 800 cfm carb? I have to dig up my desktop Dyno and throw some different cam profiles at it with the head flow numbers I've found to get any idea on a cam that's not a total guess.

I'm trying to resist opening the motor any farther then I need to but I'm going to have to at least take the oil pan off and make sure nothing rusted or anything and also confirm as much as I can while I'm in there. I figure it won't be a bad idea to pull the intake and check what I can in there...

Finally found a definite answer on what this motor is. Straight out of the GM performance catalog. Now that I know it has all forged internals I'm getting excited to try up to a 250 shot of nitrous!

Thanks and she is awesome, she loves drag cars and cammed V8s too. Im told that the ls6 crate motor has forged internals, can anyone confirm this. Cant seem to find the cam specs, any ideas?

Thanks and here's a couple more. I figure this car can't weigh much more than 2500lbs and these motors are supposed to be good for 450hp/500tq in stock form. I've found the stock Chevelle's with these motors can lay down 12's on better tires. That being said, I imagine this car has to be an 11...

So a few months back I struck gear head gold! My girls best friend had some stuff she wanted me to help her sell. Bunch of old cars and parts and even a race car but I didn't think she really knew what she was talking about, so I didn't pay it much attention until she was desperate to get rid of...
