looks like im not going to be able to make it guys, car is still sitting on jackstands and not looking like it will be rolling under its own power for another week or two....

Wellll....just a quick update while my computer is down with the swine flu... Nearly complete motor and tranny went in without too many hitches this weekend (actually a little after 8 sunday night lol). Went from sitting next to the shell to in the mounts ready to bolt up in under 15...

Lol, I'll let you know, my friend is planning to turbo his LS2 GTO this winter

finish your 4.2L first! lol...i'd be interested in some boosted LSX :naughty:

that is a clean car dude! looking forward to seeing it!

this is correct, and what i was trying to explain :( looks like US-60 is the only option...

that machining bill includes like almost $300 in bearings for the cams, crank, and rods... i had it bored 0.020" over with the torque plate installed, decked (both head and block), everything was cleaned and checked for tolerances (lots of labor there, but worth checking)...I also had two...

well, i dont think i can dyno still, money is tighter than a 2 year-old when building a car....ill try to prod kyle into going...FYI, he will be much more interested in going if some local people show up to our FSAE car show on the 17th (see the thread I created and www.louisvillefsae.org for...

Hey guys and gals, we of the University of Louisville Formula SAE team are hosting a car show in Louisville October the 17th! All you people in Louisville and the surrounding area should come out and support our team! For details and information, visit www.louisvillefsae.org Come out and...

thanks! update on the engine: basically, i was going to paint the block gold (to the dismay and disbelief of many, including myself) however, I'm so lazy I didnt feel like driving 3 miles down the street to O'Reilly's when AutoZone didnt have gold engine paint (fail btw)...so its now going to...

Head is almost done being put together, just some final measurements for shimming if needed, HG and adjustments. Looking to get the short block assembled by the middle of the week :evil2:.

Steve, I dont know much about this, but I have heard that the valley is closing down for the season pretty soon to repave for next year....we may not be able to get our drag on unless people are willing to brave the 1/4 mile down at beach bend!

no idea, the machine shop did the studs on both sides so i would imagine they did that for me, everything is ARP's so it should be straight lol

Block has returned! Hooray for me! $1200 worth of machined sexiness now sits on and around an engine stand... More pictures soon as we unwrap and begin to put it back together! Here's a few teaser shots of the block:

i dont know about the quality of these, but there are a few T-56's going around most of the time on the mustang forum corral.net. Ive heard the ones from mustangs are pretty well built

hmmm...i guess i should probably show up to some things like this if my car ever gets put back together! i will probably go run at the valley and do the dinner, not sure yet if i wanna know how slow i will be on the dyno :( hell, maybe ill convince kyle (supraguru05) to drag his road race car...

you definitely need to use a torque plate as well if you are going for a bored block!

Ive heard mixed opinions on the T-56. Most people love it, but I guess its kinda the love we give our R-154's....Love-Hate lol. My friends LS2 Goat has only 30K on it and needed the T-56 replaced. But I know others say they are one of the best Borg-Warner did. Depends on what you get.

I was about to say, HP tuners has quite a bit of good stuff on the market for tuning LS series motors. A friend of mine has the LS2 GTO and he bought the HP tuners set-up for it. You can literally program almost any engine parameter you can think of. Its pretty sexy lol

just go get some purple power from autozone, 5 or 6 old tshirts and a garden hose, you can degrease an army barracks with that shit
