Below is a little photo documentation of my recent Top end rebuild. I planned on taking many more pictures but got busy with the rebuild & it slipped my mind. Here is a list of the parts that were installed:
AFR LT4 Heads
GTP LT4 Intake
CompCams Nitrous Extreme Cam (224/236 521/556 114)
BBK/Edelbrock 58mm throttle body
RK Sport 1 3/4" coated headers
CompCams Pro Magnum 1.6 roller rocker arms
Parts Comparison
Below is a comparison of stock vs. aftermarket performance parts. These parts were all part of my top-end rebuild.
Yes, it does all go back together - but it is a scary sight huh?
Another shot of the LT-1 with the top end removed.
Here I am bolting things back together. It's starting to look like an engine again, instead of tornado aftermath!
Here's Z-man, and he's not saying nice things about those stock exhaust manifolds right now!
This was by far the worst of MANY knuckle injuries during this "modfest".
Special thanks to my helpers Z-man & Erik! They put in a lot of hours with me and a few really late nights! Thanks to Inez (Erik's wife) for letting him come out to play (I know he was in the dog house a time or two though....sorry 'Nez)
