Bad Ass.

LS Sonoma's, its kind of what I do. Yours is looking good, man.

Thanks Joe! I didn't know that, learn something new everyday. I've been looking at engines out of the 07-08 Escalade for this project.

It is indeed. I bought my '00 FRC with 10k less miles for $11k.. just had to go to Florida to get it.

There it is! L92. Overbore, then add some good valve train and Jesel components. delete DOD, etc.

Yes Sir. I also want to stay away from iron blocks.

Would a LS3 block bored with a 4.8L crank be more cost effective? i.e. aftermarket but entry level pistons/rods be cheaper than destroking a LS7?

All good points. Poor = production or production style blocks & rotating assembly. Aftermarket heads & valve train.

As the title says, I've been toying with the idea of building a LS based 388 cu.in. engine for my C5. After seeing Detroit Speeds third gen and a few other BTR rides, I'm pretty hooked. Typically these are LS7 based with a crank change. Id like to see if there is a cheaper way with a focus on valvetrain for turning the 8k rpms. I.E., LSNext block. Any thoughts? I don't want to call an engine builder uneducated.

I have the Motorola Surfboard as well. Second one in 10 yrs, still fantastic.

corvetteforums.com is your new friend. check out the C5 section.

that's a f'n win.

I sell equipment to companies that produce lottery tickets. Generally in a bundle, the store will make a rough 18-20% profit. The key is to be part of the 80% payout. Buying a bundle is dumb.

Damn good polisher. I love mine. GLWS, op.

Folding Power Mirrors. got rid of my county road driving anxiety with that one.
