Took me a week to finish but it is in and running! I much prefer the lack of a lopey idle with the stock LS7. It is smooth as butter! Pics below:

i'm throughly confused. you had the original drop a cylinder then put in a sweet built motor and now have gone back to an original.

i need to pay more attention.

I am glad to see your car back to being whole. What are your plans for your Z/28 now?

Stephen12ZL1 · 11-11-2016, 04:02 PM

my plan is to leave it exactly like it is now mechanically and enjoy the car. I may upgrade some suspension bits but haven't decided yet. I need to get the alignment checked as it is still stock and more negative camber would be nice.

original motor torched cylinder #7 and the build motor dropped a valve on cylinder #2, so I decided to run stock LS7 with headers.

Smart move, Stephen. Enjoy that Z/28 and work on your corners at VIR. You don't need heads and a cam to improve those lap times!
