all that work and just a stock bottom?

do you plan to upgrade later, cause im sure those turbo's will put out plenty more than the stock bottom can handle.

Looking good! Always nice to see another home built turbo LT1..

You got those valve covers from Summit? I still haven't decided what I want to get, kinda like the polished GM ones..

You'll like it when it gets going! Even with the stock bottom end.

What kind of PCM and controls did you go with?

what gear drive did you use? I was going to put one in my car when i had it torn down, but didn't know which one would fit under the cover.

I second that question

Pete Jackson

makes a gear drive for SBC Hydraulic roller cams (87+) with the exception of the LT1, but as long as you ditch the water pump drive it would probably fit. I think I'll try it

Well, maybe it'll just make me bored than

John, The intercooler will work perfect. I changed how I'm going to route the piping but everything will work out fine. I'll be making my crash support this weekend hopefully
Crash support? Who needs that Good to hear it worked out for you. I'll be having mine made next week with the same size core, just side to side

I'm sure I'll toast this motor within a month of boosting on it so I know what's coming. I'll end up stroking it out, probably to 383 but it's still up in the air right now. I really want to see how much the stock bottom end will handle

I got these covers from Jimlab but I'm sure the ones that summit sells are just as good. Polished GM covers are nice, very nice. I just like the look of fabrication

I have just a stock PCM with an LT1 edit. I'm still playing around with the idea of mounting one MAF sensor to only one side of my intake. This should only read half of the air I'm actually taking in. I've read that the MAF can only read up to 500hp. My way should be good enough for close to 1000hp, I hope

They are the ones that Smoknz has the link of. The only reason they exclude from LT1 models is because we have a knock sensor that will trip out with the gear drive kit.
