built a new engine,,new times
Never fast enuf. I pulled out my 6.0L that I finally got to 11.80's. Found a deal on a blown up 6.2 escalade engine. I got a rotating asembly to make it a 418 and used the cnc ported L92 and cam from tsp.
I got it running on monday and drove it around a few days to make sure everything was fine. Track time friday night was impressive, I still need to do some tuning and fine tune the takeoff and shift points. Best time friday 1.63 60ft 7.03 at 97 1/8 mile 11.16 at 117 1/4. This is still fun to drive around town and has good street manners. |
Re: built a new engine,,new times
Congrats!! I think you took the #1 spot on this site for the fastest Gen3/4 motor on the site. You got me by .02 and 2 mph.. But, don't get used to it, I've lost 300+ lbs and probably picked up 20-30hp along with a drastic gear change. You might beat me in to the 10's as well. but I'll be working for that #1 spot next time at the track!!
Was the 6.0 a factory shortblock? What are you doing with it? |
Re: built a new engine,,new times
Those are some nice #s!
Would you care to share any more info on your combo? I'm thinking that my next project engine will be an LS-based engine, and I would like to learn as much about these as I can. Again, congrats on the good numbers!! |
Re: built a new engine,,new times

The 6.0 was a factory shortblock except with arp rod bolts and cam. I am thinking about selling it to recoupe some the expense of the new engine. We are going back to the track weekend after next maybe it will get a high 10 this time. |

I can't believe I missed this thread. That's awesome.

Re: built a new engine,,new times
nice combo. still amazing how much power a well planned LS can make.
i would guess a 100shot to pick you up 6-7 tenths if you hit it out of the gate |

Re: built a new engine,,new times
Thanks guys.
It gets decent 60fts. 1.56-7. I wish it got as good as my friends 72 truck. I built him a 406 and it 60fts like crazy (1.49-51) but runs 11.30-40's at 113. It is also stock suspension but we are fighting wheel hop at the track. It breaks gears and posi too much. |
Re: built a new engine,,new times
Another reason to Build a coil over valve cover engine. That thing has to put out around 650-700 HP. With a hyd. roller even. Unless the truck weighs 3-3200lbs
Congrats on the ET and other times. Those Ls based engines sound so evil running down the track. |
Re: built a new engine,,new times
nice times ! i sooooo wanna build an ls ! u got any pics of your set up ?

Re: built a new engine,,new times
subbing!!
I am taking my 6.0 swapped 71 on 3/20 to local 1/8th mile to see what it does. Not expecting too much on street tires but it will be fun. Going to have 3.73/posi unit installed before then. If there are not pictures in this thread I would like to see some, can not see much on the network I am currently on.... BUT, is there a Gen3/4 1/4 mile list??? I like seeing the list and shooting for spots....already did the bolt on LT1 in a 97Z28 (11.80 @ 113+) and I think it would be fun to see where I can take this old truck without loosing my mind HA!! |

Re: built a new engine,,new times
Your truck is just awesome man. I hope I can get mine to run as good as yours soon. I have a combo pretty close to your old one, but my truck is a complete turd so far. I'm so disappointed with my combo that I'm now considering parting it out and starting over with a different truck and a BBC. I'm looking for low 11's but with the way it ran the last few times I drove it, I'd be lucky to run in the 14's. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing a video of your truck.

Re: built a new engine,,new times
I know where center is. I had to go to the eye doctor there. We were laying pipe around logansport and I went there. We have a lake house on Toledo Bend. My wifes sister also goes to SFA in Nac. So we've passed through a couple of times. :)
