Krambo Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 (edited) Well, I have started a new project and I thought I would share / document the build in this thread. I am keeping alot from my old set-up (exhaust, fuel system etc.). I always wanted a nasty N/A stroker from day one however never had the chance to build the one that I wanted...until now. I will make an index of this thread in this post and update what post number each phase of the build starts. I am planning on having the motor installed and running in May with tuning all summer. 1.

TBD O.K. first off the motor. I have been researching parts for years for this build and this is what I chose to do. Some may disagree with my choices and that is fine, as I had a hard time debating on if I wanted a low revving torque monster or a high revving HP monster. Naturally the L92/l76 combo was debated for the low revver as well as about a dozen head/cam and intake combos for the high revver. Here is what I settled on: SHORT BLOCK: -6.0L Cast iron Block (LSx block was overkill) -Eagle forged LS1 4.00 Stroker Crank -Eagle LS1 6.125 H-Beam Connecting Rod Set with upgraded ARP 2K rod bolts -Diamond Racing Forged Pistons (4.010 Bore, 4.000 Stroke, 6.125 Rod length, 1.120 CD, Flat Top with -4cc Valve Reliefs, 0.927 x 2.50 Wrist Pins) *Obviously a 4.030 is in the table depending on machining issues, minimum of a 402 and a max of a 410* -TSP Total Seal Ring Set (4.010" + 0.005", 1.5mm AP Stainless Top, 1.5mm Napier 2nd, 3mm oil -Cam bearing set for LS2 Block -Clevite LS1 H-rod bearing set (for stroker applications) -Clevite LS1 Main bearing -ARP Main Stud kit for LS1/LS6 -GM LS1 oil restrictor -GM LS1 Oil Galley Core Plug -GM LS1 Large Coolant Plug -GM Engine Block small coolant plug (LSx - based engines) -All the block work including Vat Block, Line Bore, Bore/Hone w/ TQ plate, precision balance rotating assembly, line hone... LONG BLOCK -Precision Race Components Stage 3 ported and polished LS6 Cylinder Heads (243 castings): 2.08/1.60 stainless steel valves, dual valve spring kit (good for .640 lift) with Titanium retainers, 64cc Combustion Chamber -TSP cam 248/254, .615"/.622", 113 LSA -Yella Terra Ultra Lite series non-adjustable 1.7:1 roller rocker arm set -TSP Chromemoly 7.40 pushrods -GM LS7 Lifter kit -Rollmaster double-roller LS1/LS6 Timing Set - standard bearing -GM 6.0L MLS gasket -ARP LS6 cylinder head stud kit (12 point) (remember this is a nitrous motor) -GM LS1 Lifter Trays and associated bolt -GM cam retainer plate and associated bolt -ARP LS6 camshaft bolt kit -GM LS1/LS2 rear main seal housing gasket -GM LS1/LS2 Timing cover set -GM oil pump O-ring (LS6) -ARP balancer pulley bolt -GM LS1 exhaust gasket -GM Oil pan gasket -GM water pump gaskets -GM LSx rear main seal -GM LS1 front crank seal -GM engine block dowel pin set -TSP ported and shimmed LS6 oil pump -Front coolant pipe for LS6 Intake manifold -Rear coolant plugs for LS6 Intake manifold -GM LS1 timing cover -LS1 rear cover -GM bolts for the valley cover, timing cover and rear cover (31 total) -F.A.S.T. 92mm TB LSx composite intake manifold (ported) -LS2 throttlebody (05+ vette style) -X link adaptor -F.A.S.T. fuel rails -F.A.S.T. 38# injectors (flow rates rated for 42psi, at 62 they flow ~45#s, I also have the green tops ~50#s) -GM windage tray, 99+ trucks, with nuts -99-06 GM truck pan kit -GM oil pick-up tube 99+ truck -GM LS6 valley cover (upgrade from the stock truck cover...planned for my crankcase venting system) -TCI SFI-Approved Flex Plate with LS1 bolt pattern (spacer for 80E conversion) -Powerbond Truck Underdrive Pulley (keyed and powdercoated) -Aeromotive boost/vac referenced FPR -Mezeire Electric Waterpump (anodized red) -Area51 idler relaction bracket -Custom CAI (by me) *11.5:1 static compression ratio, shooting for over 600+ HP Crank HP N/A with a power curve peaking at 6400-6500RPMs* NITROUS -Nitrous Outlet custom direct port nitrous system -Progressive controller, with window switches and purges (Trick performance P-gauge) -Dedicated fuel system (pump, regulator, lines, fuel cell) -Twin 10# bottles (may do a nitrogen assisted system, haven't settled yet) -Jets to deliver 300RWHP shot progressively controlled with window switch, can go to 400 if desired and down to 100. This is RWHP ratings -all of the goodies that go along with a nitrous kit to make it safe and legal to run -custom intake painting and direct port line routing (that is where the "Project Black Widow" comes in.) TRANSMISSION (and extras) -Going to freshen up the Finish Line Transmissions 65E and add some new parts such as a billet INPUT shaft and all soft parts. I have most of the parts for the 80E conversion however I want to see just how far I can push the 65E. With progressively controlling the nitrous and having a window switch for the shifts, this tranny just may hold together for a nice 1/4 mile run. Regardless, the 80E is inevitable so I started that project in the background. -Precision Industries Vig 3400 stall tripple disk lock up 10.5" converter -Forged driveshaft yolk -Rebuilt T-case -Detroit locker -Driveshaft loops -New AS&M headers (Belenger now due to issues dealing with Arizona Speed and marine!), hollow cats Looking forward to breaking some parts along the way! I will be doing all of the installs and tuning in my garage. Let the fun Begin! Edited December 8, 2010 by Krambo (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rivierakid55 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 very nice sounding build. i too agree that a stock iron block can be built to handle a lot of abuse and it sounds like your moving on to a nice setup. . and imo nothing beats the sound of a meaty cammed na stroker motor.
