just bustin your ***** mayng, as far as the thread goes, 2300 is way overkill...go with a 1900 + heads/cam/intake and all the bolt ons with a solid tune and you should have a healthy FUN ride!

Ok, back on topic. Why are you dead set on a 2300? For a stock motor a 1900 will push you quite aways and you can find them selling in the classifieds much more often.
I would think long and hard before starting to try a build like this while in college, I was in college once too and its just too much at once. Projects like this can get expensive fast, when you plan to push a decent amount of power then plan to spend some money or have 3-4k laying around to drop at a moments notice on a trans or motor. If that is a issue then you are going to have a truck that may not be running. Obviously you know what you have to work with better then we do, just some friendly advise from someone that has been through it.

AWESOME advice! wait till you're done with college, at most finish all the bolt on's now and be happy with it...more power = more broken parts = $$$

i guess i should step back my dreams a little bit, i guess being on this forum just put some bad ideas in my head, i would still really like a 2300 on top of a LQ4 and I'm still going to try to but if money falls short its not going to happen, like i said before i don't really plan on swapping the motor in right off, just would like to have it built while i still have access to the tools and machines here then hopefully take out the LM7 and stock 4l60e and swap in the new when i have the money to get the other supporting mods and whatever else i may brake after
also i just really hate making myself look like an idiot, but i do see the irony in it and its funny

And I wish I got to learn how to rebuild transmissions and axles in college... I get to pay guys like you to do that for me. Yipee.

thanks KC-Kid...good luck on yours too
i thought about the whipple but it seemed like people here prefer the mag, although i do hear that the twin screw of the whipple is more efficient than the tvs...and i would assume the whipple is more expensive, maybe i'm wrong i didn't really look into them

just and fyi, jackshaft cathedral head 2300's are very hard to come by as they were never officially produced but there are a few made to order setups out there
Whatever you decide brother, best of luck to ya!
