Re: Manny's 65 lsx build

Very nice! I am a big fan of LS motors. What are the specs on your Texas Speed cam?

I noticed in one of the pictures you posted yesterday that the driver's side exhaust manifold was a passenger side manifold spun backwards. You wouldn't by chance be thinking of putting a turbo on that engine would you? For the money, you can beat an LS motor with a turbo. Hot Rod Magazine did a build-up a few years ago on a worn out stock 5.3 with a Z06 cam and an ebay turbo and it made 563 horsepower. Those engines was amazing.

I'm collecting parts for a turbo 5.3 or 6.0 for my '55. Can't wait.
