[COTW 10/3/11]: My Texas Speed E85 429ci & 4L80E swap - Page 7 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Dig this!

Love seeing somebody with a SECOND 429ci LS3 Blocked Base.

Guaranteed you do it right, you'll be at 610rwhp.

Don't ask me or Andre how I know!

Congrats on the COTW! Badass to get it while you're still building. Keep up the good work and pics.

Pretty much bought the biggest heads that would physically fit, ran the most compression I could possibly run (almost 14:1), with an enormous camshaft, the valvetrain to support it all, and an intake that won't choke it to death with E85 miracle fuel... yeah. She'll get there once she's running again

Up on the stand. Few more pictures from this evening.

Short block looks very nice. Can't wait to see how you do at the track.

Wish there was an E85 pump close by where I am now. I would totally do the same thing compression wise. Maybe when I head back up that way I will.

Ovenmitt · 10-08-2011, 05:32 PM

Oil pan, motor mounts, flexplate on. Need to get a pair of knock sensors (doh) left mine attached to my old shortblock and shipped them away on accident, oh well.

Any progress is good progress.

GEEo · 10-10-2011, 10:43 PM

Still COTW bro!! congrats again I guess. lol

Ovenmitt · 10-11-2011, 01:01 AM

Oh im sure they just haven't updated the main page yet. Lots of engine parts should be in this week and next week. Everything to finish the longblock except pushrods (have to measure for length). Stay tuned for lots of pics, & first pics of an actual set of the new small bore ls7 heads from TSP

Been following your thread in my spare time between classes, awesome build. Hope it works out for you and I cant wait to see (and hear) the finished product =)

Cheers
Sean

UNRIVALED SS · 10-12-2011, 03:09 AM

Brother you are doing one awesome job on that Hot Rod! I plan on starting a similar project around Feb. or so to give me something to do during the break I have planned. The photos of the project have been great and very instructive. I may hit you up for some info when I get started. Again, awesome job !!!

DietCoke · 10-15-2011, 02:58 PM

Few shots of the latest TSP package. Head studs/cometic gaskets, oil pan, and misc engine gaskets. Ready for the heads/cam to go on! (Wish they'd show up already!)

Secret squirrel told me Tony Mamo may or may not be busily working on an LS7 fast 102 for this engine as we speak...

DietCoke · 10-16-2011, 02:18 AM

At approx 1:00 into this video, you can see where the rail needs to be notched for the transmission harness plug. Pretty simple
