What to do?
|
ummm.... build it...
|
6.0?
|
Of course :)
Gonna sit on the stand for a while but I have everything from pan to intake including a LS1 intake. |
Got a few questions, how strong is the stock bottom end? I know the Rod bolts are weak but the motor is a 99-00 motor. The heads I have are iron so I know theyre pretty much junk. Would a set of 241 heads be a good setup with a nice cam?
Also not sure if its gonna be EFI or carb yet but How bad is the LS1 intake? I want to shoot for 450-475rwhp with this thing. |
L92 heads FTW, you have a 4.0 bore so you can use them. Stock crank is a beast (casting # should be 12552216) and has proven itself in 1000 HP engines. I have NEVER heard of a crank failure. I'd get some H-beam rods and forged pistons and you should be good.
Having given it some thought I'd go with L92 heads and the L92/LS7 Carb manifold $2700.00 for the entire top end conversion and electronics or piece it out if you want to re-use some of your stuff. Only thing you couldn't use for sure are the intake rockers, L92 has offset http://paceperformance.com/index.asp...&ProdID=242746 |
Well having given it some thought I want to use the L92's, seems like the best bang for the buck. I also think I'm going to use the GMPP front drive setup and run a carb.
I'm still looking at intakes, not sure if I want the GMPP L76/L92 intake or the edelbrock ones. Dont think snything will swap over from the 406, just the carb and my MSD stuff. |
I've been looking into this as well : http://static.summitracing.com/globa...1_frm28939.pdf
Still curious if it uses stock coils and just uses the crank sensor to tell the MSD when to fire or if it works in a different way. If it does it just like that I'll do it that way. But if I need the front drive kitand a distributor I dont get why I would need the converter at all? |
The best way would be to just use the coils get the msd or eddie ignition box and run the carb. that way you can have a fully programmable Ignition.
|
The MSD/Eddy ignition box is hit or miss. I was told its not good for a performance build, its meant for a cheap easy carb swap. Thats what a MSD tech told me today.
Fuck it I'm just gonna use the front drive kit, ford dist. and my Digi 6+ |
