Id go with the iron blocks. The truck motors way cheaper and blocks are stronger lq4 = iron ls2 and the powerblock show horsepower took a junkyard 4.8 with 50k miles and threw a bunch of boost at it tryn to blow out the bottom end and it wouldnt do it lol.

I love boxes. I got one with a twin turbo 6.0. It's my daily driver.

If u need help, lmk.

Nice to see you on here man, I watched all your vids on YouTube. That's a mighty fine machine you got there.

I'm thinking of going a single turbo, Might build my own engine from and LSx block and see what I can do on road courses. Still a while ahead and a lot of suspension upgrades later, for now I'm gonna head up to the 1/8, 1/4 tracks.

This jack here we have had probably 20+ years. Has served us well. But it decided to give in to it's old age yesterday!

No worries though, a couple minutes later I went out to harbor freight and picked up a new one.

Also went at the stripped bolt from 10am-4:30pm. Lots of broken drill bits and sockets and extractors later and we got it out!

Was a major bitch to get out but it's done. Now I'm gonna go on Summit and order some new ones to start building again.

Here are the heads. Just need to clean up and throw them on.

Hey man I've been watching this build for a while now, it actually got me into joining this site. I got a 86 caprice that im currently building a 355 for. I like the direction you're going with it.

Thanks man, And welcome to SMD. It's a cool place to hang around. Grab a beer and stay tuned as there is still ALOT of work to do. I want this thing to be immaculate when done.
