Cant wait to see how she turns out.

I have been busy messing with other things so I haven't gotten back to my engine projects

Thanks brick! I was hoping for 420ish to the wheels but the more reading/figuring i do i think 380-400 will be more realistic. Especially since my cam is fairly mild and im 4wd.

I know the feeling, i have been super busy lately too and i havent had the time to mess with my engine like i wanted to this weekend. I still have to change my knock sensors on my truck now to get it inspected this month.

Sounds good bud, i will keep an eye out for your updates. Mine is kind of on hold until i get the cam and heads back from Phil. Now its just ordering little odds and ends parts.

A little update..... Cam is in along with the timing set. The heads are absolutely beautiful! I hate to bolt them to my engine! Lol the port work and the mating surfaces look great and perfect. Just got the head gaskets in the mail today so lifters, lifter trays and the heads should be going on in the next couple of days. I stopped with the front side of the engine because my block is drilled/tapped for a tensioner but i am having trouble locating what i need. The block came out of a 05 silverado, its a l33 so should i be trying to find a older ls1/ls6 tensioner? I believe my block has the wider bolt spacing than the newer ls3 tensioner. Can you guys steer me in the right direction as to what tensioner i need?
