    Not digging on what your doing here, but why go through all the work and hassle to make these fit when you can buy 1 7/8 headers that are already made for these trucks?

    this!?!? and now you have a totaled truck since the frame has been hacked up. the effort is great but there are so many different options out there for headers that fit like a glove.

    i dont know nothing about boats and im not going to pretend to like you do with so many things on this site. this thread was started about the heads which i had nothing negative to say about, i love innovation , i think its great. but of course you come start spitting off a bunch of non-sense that i call out and you loose your cool. only thing i stated was about how much of a bargain it was for the motor at 200k... and im butt hurt because of it? troll on "BRO"

    I tried to race a C6 Z06 the other day on the freeway. I got next to him and got on it a little to let him hear the turbo to see if he wanted to go and he didn't want no part of it. So I passed him and went on my way. Then about mile down the road I look in my rear view and the guy is coming up on me fast. I got on it to try to not let him pass but the guy had too big of a run on me. Now I'm figuring the guy wants to play so I catch back up to him, get next to him and again nothing. Then he got off the freeway. I thought it was pretty chicken $hit for a Z06 on the freeway considering I'm in a big old truck.

    you better be trapping over 120mph if your going to mess with a z06 on the freeway ... lol even then the odds are not in your favor .

    Interesting I'll see what they mean on Monday I guess. On a side note I drained the tank yesterday in prep to get some new fuel in there that e85 was in there for over a year. I used the pumps to drain the tank so I know they still work. IM getting excited hoping to get the motor dropped in Monday night. I'll be waiting on push rods and a tune from zippy before I can fire her up.

    Nice should be a beast. the power off of boost will be fun to. but with the compression being 10.3:1 it wont have issues building boost. Did you hav ethe cam specd or off the shelf?

     

    Did you assemble the shortblock or buy it done?

     

     

    As far as the windage tray i've seen guys just spacer the factory one out. is that not a good idea or just cheaper to buy a windage tray? I never looked into it.

    im hoping it will build boost fast and be a monster off the line as i know the top end will be killer. i called tooley to get a cam and they recommended there stage 4 turbo cam off the shelf. they said with the high comp. 408 and this cam that it should lite the turbo fast but he said it was on the smaller side for a 408 but should work out good since its going into a truck so will see how it does, i think ill have more power then i need any way... lol. i bought the short block from ATK out of texas assembled , i dont know the first thing about measuring and assembling a short block so i thought i would leave it to the professionals lol plus for the deal they gave me it was hard to pass up. as far as the windage tray i was going to spacer it but when i was measuring it, it put the oil pick up tube really close to the bottom of the pan which i wasnt happy with because you have to space it like a 1/2 inch at least to clear the rod bolts at the deepest stroke so i figured just get the right part for the job and be done.
