I don't have anything to use really,thats the only set of heads I've ever bought, they replaced factory heads and it was my mistake not to have them looked at first.

ohh well.. aside from the one plug everything else is going mint! I've never been happier with how it ran or drove before than I am now

I meant use the car! Drive it race it etc

ooo lol yeah I know, well I havent been home in a year..

Once I get everything sorted out I plan on using it a lot more. I've learned a lot over the years and am doing everything slowly and the right way now.

^^^ YESSSS!!!!! ^^^^ Happy for yah buddy. i really wanna just see you out and enjoy yourself and the car.

Aka pizza wants to give u head

Fuck that shit, road head is like sticking your dick in a bear trap LOL

i dont know who your allowing near your penis.... but the road head i get is AMAZING!

I have heard John does a good job.... u just confirmed it...

But in order to get road head you have to drive your car......

whoa this guy who posts once a year he has jokes! Jokes like his driving oh!

Got a quick video lastnight while playing around with the car. Burned up the #7 plug wire boot so the car was being pissy at first, swapped it out and it ran good. Glad thats the only problem.

Nice!!! so wen is it going on the road?!?!?!?

I dunno, maybe when I have more than one day a week to screw with it. It's got some little leaks, need a new line for the PS pump and the alternator still needs to be replaced lol

come ON!!!!!!!! all i see are excuses.......

Well a buddy of mine offered me a stupid amount of money for my old Sportsman II heads. Something about a lot of nitrous and a grudge race motor lol so I sold them to him and shipped em on down to NC.

I went out and picked up some mildly ported Brodix Track 1 heads, they flow ~300cfm @.600 for now. Got them mocked up on the motor today. Still need to buy some new gaskets(1206's) and some new springs since theyre currently setup for a solid roller. Also need to port my manifold heavily since its TINY and hold the motor back substantially. The last Vic jr. I ported made over 30hp more on the dyno. Hopefully finished soon. I can honestly say I am happy now though :)

Head studs! Only mocked up for now, I need to run a tap through the bolt holes to clean them out. Already have new head gaskets here.

lookin Great man!! wens it gunna run again?!?!?

Hopefully in the next month or so. I'm moving March 1st back to worcester so I'll be closer to work and my dads so I can work on it more. I also need to finish porting my manifold, thats been very slow.

with my old intake you wont have to port shit!
enjoy it!

Thanks Harry! I cant wait to put it on and see how it performs. It was nice meeting you. I absolutely love that camaro

lol yeah the local guy asked if i still had the intake?
told him it was sold.
get the intake bead blasted and cleaned up itll be good as new!

Am I supposed to update this?

Well took out the motor to try and fix a few leaks that I couldnt do while in the car. Did some more work to the motor, like headstuds, Brodix Aluminum heads, new ported Edelbrock victor manifold, locked out distributor, new water pump, fixed some of the wiring and plumbing.

Anyways here ya go I guess..

Ohh yeah, bottom end, nothing special but its clean and was rebuilt not long ago. Just wish I knew who did the work :(

It looks like you're getting really close!

I think you're going to have an awesome time with your car once it's done.

^^^ I AGRREEE!!!

BUT WHENNNN OHH WHEN WILL IT BE!?!?!?!

Hopefully soon, its been way too long since this thing has moved under its own power. Also found out the hard way that myy ignition problem was caused by using the wrong carbon bushing in the cap.. made so much heat it MELTED the cap to the bushing. Almost there though, just keep plucking away at it

congrats man but why lock out the distributor on a street motor

that intake looks nice on the motor .

Ive locked out the distributor on a few street motors and it worked well. Some motors actually perform better down low with the added timing. Ive done dyno testing to check this as well.

Thanks DAWG, didnt clean it or anything lol

Oh yeah forgot to mention the MSD digital 6 plus bux has a built in starter saver that retards timing 20* until it reaches a certain RPM so the locked out distributor will work good I hope

looking good josh.

Yep..

Nice. 5.3?

Yep 03 5.3L with DBW and all the accessories. Got the complete harness, PCM and fuse block, as well as the stock manifolds which need to be turned upside down..

Turbooooo

Gonna actually finish and drive it this time? :)

Of course not.. lol

Well I suppose I should update this a little bit. Pulled the old 406 sbc out before the winter. Stripped the 5.3 down to its bare essentials.

I grabbed a 4L80 flexplate and spacer, nothing else should be needed to bolt the TH400 to the LSx engine.

Also spent some time figuring out how I was going to drop the engine into the chassis. Saw some bolt on adapter mounts online and the light bulb went off in my head. Decided to build my own, after taking all the measurements heres what I came up with. After bolting them on and measuring bolt locations its within 1/16" of stock location.

The next step was figuring out how to get the car back on the ground after the rearend was sold. Talked to John (MY84z) and he was looking to sell the Moser 9" again. So I bought it back :) Then I realized I needed some LCA's and PHB again, found some mint Wolfe ones for sale, bought em, and waited and waited.. never showed up. Went through a big hassle but the guy eventually sent my money back. Found some UMI ones on ls1tech and grabbed em!

As of now the swap and everything has been stalled with the crappy weather and the car being in a non heated garage. Hopefully get everything settled in soon!

Going to be done before 2015? or going to change it again? Lol

Titties. TH400 oughta be fun on the street lol

No clue, trying to stick to my cards right now. Put the 5.3 in, get it tuned and go from there.

It was very fun behind the 406, hoping the converter doesnt make the 5.3 feel like a dog. 4500 stall.
