tell me whatcha think

 

Getting there bro. Lloyd is doing another set for me too. We need to get a meet of all the LT1 boys from DFW going!

 

Looks good. I would suggest that you delete the oil cooler. Is it internal or external balance?

 

looks great. I wouldnt delete the oil cooler. if u do i'll buy it. If you all do an LT meet for the DFW area let me know. I'm from laredo but i go to Dallas a few times a year.

 

Yer pistons are in upside down.

 

Yo your pistons are UPSIDE DOWN!!!!!! The valve reliefs should be closer to the valley!!!!!!!

 

i wonder if that bottom end is going to live long...predictions?

 

thanks for pointing that out... pulling it apart and rebuilding it right now... will update slideshow when finished...

this should be a PITA

 

It would be more of a pita if you ran it that way. Good thing for the slideshow and good luck with the build.

 

well pistons are installed correctlly now... 40$ in gaskets later

 

thats a pretty big thing to miss, you sure there aren't other things overlooked? id highly recommend picking up some literature on building engines and LT1's sit down and research your butt off then go back and tackle this.

 

Rods have a chamfered/non-chamfered side, if they're backwards your new motor is toast. What did you stretch your rod bolts to?

Any specs on the build? Not a parts list...

 

updated tell me whatcha think

Looks good, have it running yet? Were those Scorpion 1.7 rockers?? Or just the "Aluminum 1.6" rockers, can't remember the brand.

 

yea what's the progress now??
