Re: 68 S/C update.....
OK guys, I love the power of the 383 and the vortech, but I'm a LS guy at heart...., so here's revision 3.2.9.7a.......

Building blocks: LQ4, L92 heads, Magnuson TVS1900, Thorley big tube headers, 4L80E........I'm looking for around 700HP at the crank with about 600 to the wheels. I want streetability, reliability and decent fuel mileage (). Here's a link to motor build up page:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=551464

Please reply here on that link with suggestions and recommendations (Cam/springs/stall). Thanks in advance.

Rob

Nice !!

I have been playing with LS based engines for a while. Have a 427 stroker LS3 in my 2010 Camaro with a Kenne Bell 2.8 Supercharger on 12 psi and 93 pump gas making about 900 flywheel and 735 to the tire. ( Auto eats up 18%).

Its a LOT of fun, should really be a blast in a C10 !!!!

I run a custom grind Comp Cam that was spec by Jannetty Racing, and my convertor is a 2600 stall. I am using Patriot Performance "Gold" Springs on stock LS3 heads that were ported by Patriot Performance also.

Good Luck with your project, its gonna be a runner for sure!

Thanks for the info! I'll hit you up with some more questions later.

*** UPDATES!! ***

Picked up a nice steering wheel to match my Billet Specialty wheels (thanks JWALL!!!) Also, the first motor I was looking at didn't work out (long story......can some please delete those pictures???), so I've tracked down two other candidates:

1st: L76/6L90E out of an 09 G8 with 16K miles.
2nd: L99/6L90E out of a 11 Chevy truck with only 900 miles!!

Any thoughts to which one might be better for running the TVS1900 Magnacharger???

Thanks! I was afraid it might be to much for the interior, but it goes with it quite well. I think it will also compliment the Dakota Digital gauges once they are installed.

I finally installed my CPP front tubular A-arms and 1.25" sway bar. This should help get a better alignment without so many shims. Plus they look way cooler than the bulky factory ones, . Also, the new arms weigh about 10 lbs per side less, so I guess that's another positive . I also upgraded the u-bolts that hold the lower control arms 3/8" to 1/2". After all was said and done, the ride height remained exactly the same, who would have guessed???? Still gathering parts for the LS swap.....
