Hey guys, I decided to put a engine in that other 55 of mine.

Plans are a mildly built carb'd LS engine, around 500 crank hp. Gm crate performance has a 515 crank hp carb'd ls engine for around 4500

I'm looking to find a used block, and buy cheap rods and pistons (raised compression) , aftermarket heads, intake and carb. Possibly 2nd hand or something someone is looking to get rid of.

I also plan to mount this to the 67 camaro ss 4spd muncie that I already have. I see the bell housing is around 250, and I can use a standard ls 11" flywheel and clutch set up.

Please help me find these parts. I'm looking to aquire all this over the next 8 months and start putting it all together next summer. Hopefully I can have the block built by then and assemble the rest later.

I prefer a ls3, but looks like the blocks alone are going for 750 range, I'm also confused to which ls series to get. I prefer to go with something newer then the dieing trend ls1.

Have you put up a WTB on kcsr yet?

no I was going to wait til I got the zx2 on the dyno then start whipping out my money for a ls block.

Well that may still be awhile...you may still find some bigger and parts to trade out on the zx2 LOL.

I understand though trying to build one vehicle at a time, makes sense.

i know, i have issues.

trying building two vehicles and maintaining a stock dd lol.

Try having no DD and all of your vehicles being projects haha. JK ranger isn't a project, just getting to be a high maintance vehicle because its older.

Dude you got the pimpin Time Warner Van!
