    What have you done to your square lately??

    James- the tolex idea sounds great. I had to look at up to see what exactly that was. I will be running something on the thinner side on the front side of the fluid/parts box. Maybe some type of mesh or something. Not sure yet as im still thinking on it. Every cm matters cause these trucks are...

Its a 100 dollar amp. My headunit is a retro sound. No subwoofer for me. Just some better than average...

    1964 Chevy ll ls1/t56 swap

    i would look into a Torquer V2 cam. The cam checks out on all points. It sounds good, puts power down on the dyno, hard to beat at the track and it has torque everywhere. We just did a ls1 car that put down on 450 rwhp with this camshaft with hand ported 243 heads.

    What head, cam and intake you plan on doing on the ls1 ? My 2000 Z28 6 speed car puts down right at 500 rwhp on a very stingy 48 inch drum dyno. Thats on a factory 799 head caating on top of a LS2 bottom end with a cam motion camshaft. My goals is 10s all motor.

    BBC heads??

    Hard choice on heads. I do know Brodix have great customer service and i never seen a cracked Brodix head. I have seen a cracked LS TFS head but not for a big block. Good thread here

    Bucket~The 280 TFS heads are bad to the bone. Eric W... a famous head porter and youtube tested a line of oval heads and the AFR 265 and TFS 280 head makes the best torque in the imdusty hands down. Now you got me thinking about that youtube video/channal. On the pistons... how much compression...

    489ci tow build...

    well that sounds like interesting build. Im taking notes and learning daily for sure. I never knew you could run LS coil packs on a L29 with some tweaks. Thats awesome. Keep me posted on how your builds turn out. Speaking of notes i want to share these with yall and want opinions.

    489ci tow build...

    Specs on my 454 is that it is bone stock engine for the 87 model R20. I think its rated at 240hp/330TQ which is weak for a 454 ci motor. I have thought about a 8.1 swap however the aftermarket for them are very slim. Plud the 8.1 parts are really high dollar. I have thought about a L29 swap...
