Black2003SS Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I just found this while searching on ebay, not my auction, and I don't work for Lingenfelter. Just thought someone might be interested in it on here, a little bit out of my price range. Swap that cam out and get some better heads and 500hp isn't far out of reach. Pretty cheap for a lingenfelter engine if you ask me. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lingenfelte...1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I would have thought it would be more powerful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black2003SS Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 If you read closer, notice it was tested with stock manifolds? Add a set of long tubes and good tune and it should be 450hp+? maybe... It also has stock LQ9 heads apparently. The cam is much smaller than the GT2-3 cam so theres another 20-35hp. If you could lower the compression a little, it would be a 600hp monster with a blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ligenfelter scraped this motor together with old customer parts that they probably never gave back Now they are trying to rape someone on motor with a bunch stock parts, that aren't worth anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adams2003 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 A 415 should easily be able to make 600 N/A hp. 430 is pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black2003SS Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Show me where I can get a 600hp assembled 415ci motor ready to bolt in for the cost of this motor, I will buy it right now (and back it with a 2yr/24k mile warranty). Further more, Lingenfelter has an outstanding reputation and backs all of their motors with a 2yr/24k mile warranty. With the exception of the radix kit, I don't see any other engine builders or power adder companies offering that kind of a guaruntee. They even offer it on their 720hp twin turbo packages.

04CHASE Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 i could honestly care less about a warranty espeacially if they are half way accross the usa from me, who wants to put an engine in , have something go wrong then pull it out and send it back? you can build a healyth 408 or 415 for about the same chunk of change. you could probably get a stock lq9 to make that power with a few little things( cam,springs,new heads,injectors and a good tune) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black2003SS Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Please tell me how or where then. I have $6k cash in hand a need for speed. I was thinking of the DART 225 LS1 heads, GT2-3 cam or the Comp cams XER 54-444-11 cam (a little bigger than the GT2-3), dynatech headers, outlaw CAI and a nelson tune. I was figuring on $4k plus for all of that plus a new converter. I was figuring on $10k for a 408 build up. The lunati rotating assemblies alone were $3k.

Krambo Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 FYI. I dyno's 360HP to the wheels with a cam, ASM headders HF cats and Flowmaster 40 series, E-fans, 160 thermo and a K&N CAI. figure a 20-23% loss through the driveline and .... Those mods will cost you half of the price of that engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black2003SS Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 That's not what your an your 12.5 with though right? You have a supercharger as well correct? What cam did you go with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackySS13 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 10K for a 408. Yeah, maybe after you get heads and a different cam, but that's a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can far surpass that level in a stock 6.0L with a heads, cam, intake, exhaust, and a good tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lunati rotating assemblies alone were $3k. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Call LG Motorsports in Wylie TX; G5X3 cam + upgraded valvetrain + AFR heads + 90mm + long tube headers + CAI + Corsa + PCM tune + ARP rod bolts = 430 naturally aspirated rear-wheel horsepower on stock cubes that is street driveable on a 2600-2800 rpm converter, gets very close to stock economy on the freeway, pulls like a SOB to 6600rpm, and sounds just brutally wicked both at idle and on the way to redline - if I was going to stay N/A this is the performance route I personally would choose. Similar results have been produced by Texas Speed using the Magic Stick 3 cam. Point is, with smart parts selection 430rwhp is easily achievable. Yes both companies have put those cams in trucks with appropriate converters and had good results. Mr. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black2003SS Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 You mention ARP rod bolts, are those the weak link in our engines? STS Turbo told me it was the crank and bearings. I dunno who to believe, but of course I also believe in ARP's products and preventative maintenance never hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run it in my Camaro and it chops extremly hard and doesnt have great low down power. I have a 3600 stall converter so that helps keep it in the power band but I would never use something that big in a stock cube truck motor.
