Re: 68 S/C update.....
How many engines have you built? I want to swap to an LS series engine, but don't feel like I'll ever be able to afford a pre-built engine. How hard would you say it is to build an LS? I'm a little more worried about selecting the right parts than assembling it, but overall I'm a bit intimidated.
By the way, I like what you've done so far.

Thanks, hopefully in a couple of weeks. I have some non-car weekends that are coming up, so it will slow me down. Quote:

I wouldn't call this building a motor since I didn't change the crank and pistons, but it's about as close as you can get without doing that part, .

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Cool! Thanks for the videos. Maybe I'll be able to source a short block, or even a long block and go from their. I'll do some more research. Thanks for the help.

Thanks! I finished up the rocker trunion upgrade, nothing complicated, just time consuming doing 16 of them. Here are some pics. First two are of the old trunion and bearings, next three are the new setup.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
I can snap a few later today and get them to you. There is plenty of room though. Do you know off the top of your head what the hose on top of the tranny goes to? I thought it was just a vent, but it has a "T" fitting on it, like it had a hose going somewhere.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
I'm pretty sure it's just a vent.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Pictures as requested. Sorry for the poor quality, camera phone and its hard to get in there really close. You can see the vent thing I'm talking about. I would say there is about 2" of space, maybe even a little more. However I still have to make sure I'm leveled out at the right driveline angle. I used the spacers that were on the th400 mount, but the engine still seams to dip down, and the tranny pan doesn't appear to be level. I need to get out my angle measurer and check the angle.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Very nice build, sat down and read through it all today. What kind of fuel mileage do you think you'll be getting with the 6.2 combo?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
And here is the why I want to put an L99+6L80 in my Chevrolet Veraneio. First because the L99 is the only V-8 engine avaiable around here, and since playboys are starting to destroy Camaros SS maybe I could find one. But the main reason is that even stock I will get 3 times the power, and something something lower than 2 times the torque that I have with my L6 261 (first gen stovebolt). And everyting with higher kilometrages (milleages) per liter (galon). But in my case I want the AFM, VVT, etc...
