Ordered my LSX

[ASSASIN]

I finally trecked down the part number wich is PN:/19166454 for anyone interested. Got in contact with a good family friend who just happens to import chevy parts from the U.S.A for a living. He has ordered the block for me at $3750.00 au landed at my door. Will be here in about 2 months. Now to find a crank and rods and pistolas:thumbsup:

[OUTAtheBloo]

So whats your goal from this engine mate ? lotsa cubes with a nice twin screw supercharger ??

More details needed :bday:

Dan

[ASSASIN]

Hi Dan have not really thought about it yet but i do have atleast 2 months to. Dont think ill go down the forced induction road to start with just want a daily drver that will lay down some good times on the weekend. Everyone is going turbo and superchargers so i thought tis will be something different. Would like to see at least 500 to 600 rwhp and some 10 sec passes and ill be happy so at the moment im going for big cubes and largish cam

Look forward to seeing how it all turns out.

[BLQWN]

This'll be one to keep an eye on....are you building it yourself?

[ASSASIN]

Wouldnt mind having a go but i better leave it to people who know what they are doing. My uncle works at performance modifications probably see if he can do it. And grind a custom cam :p

[OUTAtheBloo]

454 :drool:

Go for it mate, strokers are nice too :thumbsup:

You wont need forced induction with 500-600rwhp anyway, they fairly fly anyway. I think alot of people dont relise what that sort of HP can get you into. Something i only relised last night...

Ok, I'll ask, what happened last night?

[Danv8]

454 has to be one of my favourite number sequences. :-)

Next to 69 and 666? maybe?
:p

[HRTSV8]

Something tells me that we may see more than a few of these at summernats, should be good

[ASSASIN]

Well after a bit of research and good old fashoned chin wagging i have decided to go with a callies crank with a 4.250 stroke and a bore size of 4.200 wich will still leave plenty of wall thickness if i choose to go F.I latter on. This combo along with some new custom S.R.E heads (im told based on a ls7 head but alot stronger ) has a thicker face on the head. So they wont distort under big boost. All up this will give me a 472 cube fire breathing draggon. Will hopefully start seeing some parts coming in soon the block is about 4 weeks away now. Thats the easy part done know the hard part to pay for it all :cussing:

:idea: ET Heads.:wave:

you got it in one.

I watch with close interest to see what Searle is passing off as his own branding on this one. There are only three heads that I know of that are commercially available at this time that fit the description. I know he isn't offering the ETP.

Another thing to keep an eye on is that Callies also do a CompStar line of cranks now from Chinese forgings but finished to Callies high standards. These are being flogged around the joint as Callies USA cranks. They aren't and the price reflects the product.

Research carefully on all LS components. All is not what it seems at first glance and there are many pitfalls for the first time engine buyer.

Have you found out about your heads yet?
Also what are you planning to use as your manifold/T/B combo , and what size cam are you looking at?
Ive heard that they can handle very large cams
Good luck with the build

[ringram]

Im guessing LS7 intake and 90mm TB to suit.

Im interested in your cam selection too.. 240/248-112 ?

You're exaggerating slightly. It's $5800 + $1500 for the install kit so $7300.

[ASSASIN]

Block has landed in Freo hopefully pick it up next week
Heads will be about a 3 month wait at the moment unless i go down another direction
Have ordered the rods, crank , pistons will be about 6 weeks away
Will be using the LS7 manifold with a 90mm T.B
Cam is still open for consideration

[smokiebbear]

Great stuff, I will be watchin this tread with interest.

I would love to do what your doing but the mrs would kill me so i think l'll live my dream through this thread.

Keep up the good work.

3 months wait for ET heads! Give Street Quick Performance a ring, he normally has them in stock.

I landed 6 pair of ET LS7 both 4" and 4.1 for both GM LSX and World blocks this week. I have another 4 pair leaving in 4 weeks.

No supply issues here.

[Itchy_Feet]

You're exaggerating slightly. It's $5800 + $1500 for the install kit so $7300.

I was allowing for the possible price rise of the LS7/C5R kit and electronic throttle, better saving to much and having leftover than falling short of the mark.

How do you find the world products for quality???

[KPWISHN]

Cam is still open for consideration

I will be interrested to see what cam you choose. What ball park size are you after? 240, 250, 260 or bigger. What sort of LSA? 112, 108 or something a bit more radical. Let me know what you reckon of it once it's in.

still waiting for my blocks to arrive but next week I will know. Being cast in the UK and from what some over there have told me they are the shit. The LSX is mighty big chunk of cast iron though.....looks like it come out of the International Harvesters!:confused: Can't beleive they left the thing on such a small bore though concidering most will go straight to 4.125". That is a lot of cast iron to remove.....

bolted yours in today Lewis. Should be ready for a fire up when you get back on Tuesday.

These heads are being made to custom specs not off the shelf LS7 ets

[OUTAtheBloo]

Im just wondering how much you have budgeted for this build up ? Also what are your plans for the fuel system ?

On another note, will we be seeing you at some wanneroo events in this tidy machine :jester:

Dan

[ASSASIN]

Dont plan to get much change out of 20k for the engine alone
Fuel system will have an intank walbro to a stainless surge tank with 2 bosch 44 pumps and 2 5/16 lines. I will be using the standard LS7 fuel rails and injectors at this stage (see how they go) have not decided wich fuel pressure regulator to run yet wether i mount it in the engine bay or neer the surge tank.

I might get down to waneroo for a fang but if i like it i will put the engine in another car as i dont wanna ruin the GTS

i dont think the harrops will fit ls7 or etp heads-

only for ls1 and ls2-

ls7 and custom sheet metal only-

someone quote me if i am wrong-

[ASSASIN]

Picked up my LSX block today
Droped it off to the machine shop but am waiting on the pistons, will be about 1 week
This block really looks the goods apart from the colour.
Here are a few shots sorry about the qaulity used my phone camera

Any updates

[wagnman]

Geez thats a massivley solid looking bottom end!

I want one for my 28 tudor street rod!

Can you post up all the phone numbers for the contacts for the parts your buying?

I think a 454+ cube LSX with a sheet metal tunnel ram, huge cam and twin carbs or twin holly 4 barrel style throttle bodies would be awesome.

cheers

[ASSASIN]

Pistons have just been finished and will be ready to fly from the US by mid week. Unfortunently cant do much till they arrive then it can all be machined and i will have a rotating assembly. Then it might bet put on the back burner for a bit got some shit going on at home that takes priority over my projects.

[OUTAtheBloo]

So how is the project coming along ?

Dan

[ASSASIN]

Sorry about the delayed response but i thought i might have some better news

I am being royally screwed around by the supplier have been waiting for off the shelf parts for nearly 4 months (put down a $2000 deposit) and getting really pi$$ed of so i am now going to start exploring other options.

[KPWISHN]

Which parts have you got and what parts do you need?

So Ls1 and Ls2 intake manifolds won't fit on a LSX with etp heads?

[ASSASIN]

Which parts have you got and what parts do you need?

I am waiting on the whole rotating assembly (piston rods crank) have the block

not much point buying anything else till i can get the machining done otherwise i would have a nice pair of ET heads gathering dust waiting for some clown to knock off knowing my luck at the moment.

All these parts were meant to be flown from US but i have been told they got put on the ship but this ship must be a one person row boat cause its been over 5 months now.

Im just about ready to go break this asswipes legs at the moment its not so much the $2000 deposit its the fact i could of had this thing built buy now and am loosing intrest in it everyday.

And i spent most of the car funds on a little stress relief holiday

After this is sorted i will name and shame this person who has caused this mess

Any good news?

[ASSASIN]

Yes finaly some good news my christmas has come early
Today i recieved a Custom ground Callies Compstar crank at 4.250" stroke 2.100" Pins

Manley Platinum series flat top pistons at 4.185" Dia 1.000" CD-14cc weighing in at 416 grams without the pin

Lunati Pro-Billet steel 4340 rods @ 6.125"

Also a set of clevite bearings and akerly&childs rings

All of this will bring this package to a mighty 468ci wich as far as i have seen is the biggest anyone has gone with one of these yet ( i may be wrong )

Now just have to wait till the machine shop opens up again in the new year
And fingers cross she might just be ready for motorvation ( i wish )

oh yeh!!!

mate, you building the motor a lot of us want:)

awesome!!!

[ASSASIN]

Stripped most of the parts out of the engine bay today.

I will be relocating the PCM
Putting the battery in the boot
Moving the ABS module down to where the battery was
Moving the cruise control module
Mounting the coil packs on the chasis rail
Fitting a VZ raditor and overflow
Getting the engine bay painted same as the outside of the car Phantom black

This should open up the engine bay alot and make it look real tidy

If we both buy we will get twice as many drinks :cheers::booze::merry::beer:

I will rebuild the C4B and keep it in the shed for when/if i ever sell the GTS

[douglas]

because i am considering the same option (LSX 454) i have a couple of Q's...

will the stock oil sump system still be able to be used with the longer throw crank?

will this give issues with the oil pickup line...windage tray...etc.....

she's all a bit tight down there.......

There was originaly issues with the crank i had but it was machined to suit

You can use the stock oil sump the ones off a vz a better and i am getting some baffels welded in to try limit oil surge. There are also some custom made bigger sumps out there


Nice to see this project is back in action:D

Thanks smokie has been a long time comming

Well today i relocted the PCM and cut off the bracket that holds the abs module and welded it down behind the headlight were the battery was

My next drama was trying to find a decent looking battery box
if anyone knows of any please let me know other wise i will make one either out of MDF then carpeted or get a aluminium one made

Does anybody know if the LS7 coil packs are physicaly differant in size to the LS1 coil packs as im going to make a remote mounting bracket using the LS1 coils but will have LS7 coils when the motor is fitted.

[KPWISHN]

Not sure exactly on your question but here is some photo's of my LS7 coil packs. Hope this helps.

Looking good mate - who's done all the machining and assembly for you.

You must be hanging to hear the first angry shot when it fires up.

[ASSASIN]

Was all done by my Uncle Paul at Performance Modifications :goodjob: and i dont think there is one piece of the engine that didnt require a bit of clearancing

I think the noise will be what i love most about it.

Its a comp cam but the specs are secret squirell info only lol

I told mitch to chuck it in the ute and run it in at powercruise. :confused:

Bit of an update

During the week off didnt get much time to work on the car but got the motor fully assembled. Fitted the windage tray with some mods for clearance as you will see. this is with a 4.25'' crank as well. Thought is was gonna be impossible but it wasnt actually that bad.


Tray was cut for clearance for oil transfer pipes and 5 8mm stainless washers were packed under all the mounting bolts.
