My 58 Brookwood

[Ol Blue K20]

Looks good, keep making some progress!!

[skymangs]

oh, we're on it now!

[skymangs]

so today we did the new roller timing chain, LS6 oil pump, and LS7 lifters.

[gigamanx]

That intake sure is purdy! I just gifted myself the Terminator X Max harness for my LQ4. Pretty ingenious little device. Looking forward to hearing it start up. Let me know if you're in need of some headers. I have some on the side of my garage with no place for them to go so happy to gift them elsewhere. Might work well in a sedan if you add some turbos...

[skymangs]

just ordered headers, but I am always in need of LS headers, if the price is right!

[skymangs]

so about 3pm we switched over to the 58. this is the new Melling LS6 oil pump. then we put an LS1 windage tray, and a 98-00 Camaro pan and pickup on it.

[skymangs]

we noticed that some of the lifters were much longer than others (DOD), so I ordered new LS7 lifters and trays. the white stuff is competition cams assembly lube.

[skymangs]

Made some progress on the 6.2 today, put the timing cover on and head studs in.

[skymangs]

The oil pan bolts and Valve Spring compressor finally came in, now I can install my LS6 Valve springs!

[gigamanx]

That level of engine work is beyond me. Very impressive though. How do you know if you missed a part?

[skymangs]

I just do, I’ve been doing this quite a while. I just know what goes where.

[skymangs]

I know it’s not much, billet oil cooler blockoff. We’re waiting for the new valve spring compressor, the one I ordered the first time sucked!

[skymangs]

our new valve spring compressor came in today. This design works WAY better than the old one! #1 LS6 video springs installed!

Love the 58 year and what you are doing with the ole girl.

[skymangs]

Thanks 58 is my favorite year as well.

[skymangs]

I finally got all the valve springs in one head, These are the good 823 castings with 2.165 intake valves, rectangle intake ports, and D shaped exhaust ports.

[skymangs]

we got the valve springs replaced and the heads on

[skymangs]

1. New head gaskets came in yesterday, so we put the heads on. Put the headers on and pushrods in. Even started putting the rockers on.
2. I bought billet 1.7:1 roller tipped rockers that are stamped LS3
3. The front of the motor

[skymangs]

we got the driver’s bank of adjustable roller rockers in

[skymangs]

1. all the roller rockers are installed
2. we mocked up the Valve covers and intake

[skymangs]

we put the new ITC billet alt/pwr steering bracket and a brand new water pump.

[skymangs]

we got most of the accessories on the LS3 today, tomorrow we’ll put on the per steering pulley and the belt.

[skymangs]

We put the pwr steering pulley on
And then started putting together the intake

[skymangs]

1. Wyatt decapping injectors
2. This is a decapped injector next to a stock one. We are using dephi Truck injectors with the proper adapters. Decapped they flow 80lb/hr!
3. we installed the new 102mm electronic throttle body. We also discovered that the upper outlet on our 04 Silverado water pump interferes with the electric throttle body
4. a 2010 Escalade water pump was ordered

[skymangs]

we got the fuel rails finished today
