LS1 into a 73 cheyenne - Page 38 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

LS is coming together nicely, sure is different than a Gen 1 engine isn't it.

68GMCCustom · 07-01-2013, 01:26 PM

Looks good. be aware that you may (from what I've read) have to trim the inside of the timing cover a bit to clear the double chain/gears

Thanks for the input, i'll take close attention to this. still few days away from installing pump

I finally completed the Camshaft Degreeing Procedure. I tried the method of just lining up the dots to see how close it would be and then i degreed it and compare results. By simply lining up the dots i was advanced 6*. Following the centerline method and actually degreeing the cam i was right on the specs. from the cam card

Looks like some very nice tools. I wouldn't expect anything less. Keep the updates coming.

docstheman · 07-02-2013, 01:25 PM

Wow, really sweet build!

68 TT · 07-05-2013, 12:19 AM

Great pics Alex. Love the antique look you gave some of them too.

Making good progress. Nice to see you back at it. Keep it up.

I have completed the head assembly mock up and clearances are now good. I also need new shorter push rods at 7'', according to the calculations PTV clearance is good and on the safe side, this was my worst case scenario valves crashing into pistons. On the LS series they recommend to stay below a .600 max lift on the valves other wise you will need to shave pistons or add a thicker gasket or adjust cam timing.
Here are a few pics of the MLS gasket, and the valvetrain set up, minus the pushrods thats why they're all up, and one pic with the taller valve covers.

Very cool indeed...

mcbassin · 07-09-2013, 11:18 AM

smokedat · 07-18-2013, 10:44 PM

Hey fellas build is coming along heads are complete and torqued rockers are set and lashed, i went with COMP Cams High Energy Pushrods at 7.00". dressed in ARP hardware from crank internals to heads.

smokedat · 07-18-2013, 10:45 PM

I have a question how do i advertise my extra parts??? i tried this once here and i got deleted??

**nlped** · 07-18-2013, 11:02 PM

I think you have to post them in the "For Sale" forum. And you have to be a paying member of the forum. It's only like $25 & its well worth it for all the extra perks.
