MN C5 Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 Pictures from the top 427C5R assembled, Heads prior to install, the SS next to my L and the dual exhaust mod... I can't seem to find the right way to post medium sized pics. Last time they were huge and now just thumb nails... Oh well.. Any way the trans will be coming out later this week to go to Rossler, the install should start next week some time. We are planning to put the truck on the dyno later this week for some tuning upgrades for those guys that don't want to go as far as this project will.

BigTex Posted May 18, 2003 Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 You are going to need to get that pulley and C5 oil pan pulled off and swapped for a truck setup. I don't think those are 6 liter heads. Are you going for high compression? I thought your plan was to run boost. Here is an install pic of the 423 we just installed in that 2003 Escalade EXT that I was telling you about: I'd put money down that this EXT has just about the best exhaust around. This show shows the X pipe up front, dual cutouts, and full 3" exhaust. Up front we have long tube headers and all mandrel bent tubing. Cats were removed. Electric cutouts are now installed.

2drTahoe Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Looks like a sweet project. I like the exhaust and spot for the cutouts. What block did the 423 start out as? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN C5 Posted May 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 BigTex your right on all counts. Its a corvette pan and LS6 heads.. The heads have been reworked for the bore and the pistons are the reversed dome type. The motor is being set up for 20lbs of Whipple boost. BTW your project looks great, let us know how it runs.

BigTex Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 It runs, but needs tuning. Our LS1 edit cable was faulty and we are waiting on a replacement. Should be here this week. This motor was a 6 liter block bored .040 over with a 4.125" stroke. Its running ross pistons, Eagle rods, and a Callies crank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
