That intake sure is purdy! I just gifted myself the Terminator X Max harness for my LQ4. Pretty ingenious little device. Looking forward to hearing it start up. Let me know if you're in need of some headers. I have some on the side of my garage with no place for them to go so happy to gift them elsewhere. Might work well in a sedan if you add some turbos...

just ordered headers, but I am always in need of LS headers, if the price is right!

so about 3pm we switched over to the 58. this is the new Melling LS6 oil pump. then we put an LS1 windage tray, and a 98-00 Camaro pan and pickup on it.

we noticed that some of the lifters were much longer than others (DOD), so I ordered new LS7 lifters and trays. the white stuff is competition cams assembly lube.

That level of engine work is beyond me. Very impressive though. How do you know if you missed a part?

I know it’s not much, billet oil cooler blockoff. We’re waiting for the new valve spring compressor, the one I ordered the first time sucked!
