Block Sent off too Shop New Cam Bearings and Resizing Rids and ARP Rod bolts with Resized Rods Bearing
p.s. yes you can resize stock rod caps and is the correct way to put ARP Rod bolts you will need new Rod bearings installed also Revving with no fear lol
Blood sweat and tears:
Looks like Engine has a dark side after all and wanted blood
ER 5 hours and couple sutures later and really lucky didnt cut a artery Doc said it was Close
I would of just sutured up myself "FMF Corpsman is my Profession" but right arm got cut and then left pointer finger got slashed wouldnt of been easy to handle needle driver and adsons lmao oh well
Still Loaded engine into car dripping blood and took to shop after i went to the ER of course

Re: Craigslist Searching + My Apartment Room + LSx = ?????
Little update : not much tho got ahold of LS6 intake
should get block from machine shop in a couple of days like stated above
Resized for ARP rods and new cam bearing etc etc
so engine stuff is pretty much taking care of besides all new gaskets and EPS Cam
about to take on upgrading trans with shift kit etc using 4l60E upgrade kit from 700r4l60e.com should be more than enough too handle my needs comtemplating on just doing shift kit and beast sunshell idk tho trans is just rebuilt with only 5k miles
also working on other projects also while engine is out etc like brakes and cleaning up engine bay
slow build but making sure have a good combo and attention to the small details
hardest thing i have to deal with is choosing the color to paint intake and brembo brakes lol very hard decision

got the ls1 fuel injectors flow match and cleaned and made them flow 42lbs by
fuelinjectorconnection.com
Quick turn around time and they provide the tune data for the injectors also which makes tuning alot easier then starting from scratch
side project im working on is 14" Brembo Brakes and clearance my wheels Varrstoen ES2 might make a thread on the wheels after mocking up brakes and final assembley but everything clears and WOW they look nice im loving these wheels more and more
Hopfully can get everything up by summer and i so cant wait its killing me

Re: Craigslist Searching + My Apartment Room + LSx = ?????
Its doable as long the misses is ok with it
i have a 2 bedroom and the 2nd one is mines lol
i do most of the work in the parking lot... no garage .. lets just say manager isnt to happy with me .. but hasnt given up trying to talk to me so i won that battle
my wife got more mad at me spray painting and using the oven to cure the paint then anything else
i used a large plastic tarp to keep the floor clean but majority of stuff i cleaned out side than bring it in
ill say keep it organized and clean and take her out to dinner or shopping helps .. but my wife is pretty cool and understands ..she also spent her share of $$ to help me buy parts also
but it is doable kinda crazy and out there but it is possible and hoping to have some pretty stout numbers also
i wish i had garage tho but i like to live close too base and im in the city but im pcsing too new duty station end of oct and might get a garage been looking for a house also but where i want a house is about 2 hour drive i wouldnt want to do that daily lol

Re: Craigslist Searching + My Apartment Room + LSx = ?????
still got to do a couple more coats and sanding
ac box and wiper motor cover and brake booster are going to get hydrograhics by myself still have to buy the kit it will match the intake to include radiator support
strut towers will be white
4th gen Overflow resivor and windshield wiper bottle will be going in and bye bye to the old ones
starting to look like home for the engine
my color scheme om going for is to balance out the look and make it uniformed idk if im explain it right but theres alot going on and makes it look confusion and cluttered and buy painting some parts body color gives that part less attention
maybe im just looking into it too deeply lol
overspary will be corrected as i havent work on k member yet that needs to be clean and painted

Re: Craigslist Searching + My Apartment Room + LSx = ?????
Thanks alot ..
Far from done tho.. for quick moment i thought if this is all worth it ?.. all the small details. instead of just throwing everything on as is .. its funny original plans was just to clean engine up and throw it in .. i wasnt planing brake upgrade or changing wheels or even painting engine bay .. i guess time will tell when i turn on key and spin those tires ..
also after painting engine bay .. it makes my exterior paint look like crap ..going to get paint sooner than later will see .. going to see what military housing has to offer ugh .. hopfully i have room to paint lol

Re: Craigslist Searching + My Apartment Room + LSx = ?????
Thoughts on 3/8 th pushrod on stock 243 heads there a bit stiffer and stronger than 5/16 th and better at higher rpm seen some where its a 50 % difference
im getting mix info on it
but for the most part all push rods 5/16th are created equal as in not one stronger than the other
i know its small detail but would like strongest pushrod and avoid drama at higher rpm

Re: Craigslist Searching + My Apartment Room + LSx = ?????
you mean how high ? till it stops making power lol jk... about 6000+
not sure due to the fact i havent spec cam yet im actually in process of re specing it due to some tweaks in my setup adding ls6 intake and better flowing exhuast .. and to take advantage of that the cam is the last thing im buying
im kinda building entire setup then buy cam last kinda backwords as most people ive see buy cam then do supporting mods then usally upgrade to bigger cam due to supporting mods which seems backwords lol
but im also thinking about future upgrades and plans also so i dont like redoing stuff over again and if i dont do upgrades then and im really hard on my toys so i also keep that in mind also,
i think i would be fine with 5/16th tho just thought i ask
hopfully i get too start partially breaking down trans
