No reason U can't use a truck intake, [or even an LS1 or LS6 intake], a stock PCM/modified harness, etc, and still come in way under your suggested $5K.. Or, the $2K carb deal.I would rather go efi, but by the time you add all the parts and peices together it will cost about 5k, versus about 2k for the carb setup. Everyone that I've talked to or read there builds say that 3.00 or 3.20 gears are the right way to go, there are even guys running 2.90 gears so I'll start at 3.20 and go from there, but I'm along way away from rear end set up.
thanks for the vote of confidence on the stock PCM. The engine did come with all the wiring and intake manifolds etc. But I'm having my first problem. I messaged black power to find out what mounts he is useing becuse the mounts i bought(trans dapt) are not fitting. I'm just trying to get the motor in the car so I can start mocking up the hot side. When it comes time for the PCM stuff I'll probley message you. Thanks again, Ian.
here are some pics...sorry i haven't been in town to do this earlier. All the mount systems I've seen are for LS1,LS6, I'm not seening any for the LS2 does this make any differance?U R most welcome. My bud and I can help w/ the tuning. [We use EFILIVE].
What part of the mounts are giving problems?? How about a pic or two to help??
9.72 to be exact so come get some LOL.View attachment 175767 Hey everyone, I'm back with a new project. I bought a 87 GN from Jason and I'm going LS power. I bought a iron block 6.0L and will be doing a big single turbo. So I will not be useing allot of the GN parts(computer, rear end, gas tank AC box etc...) so if any of you guys need parts or peices get ahold of me with your needs and I'll see if I'm not useing them, and would be happy to sell them to fund the project. The ultimate goal is to go up against Geno's street car, I've seen it run 9.80's, and yes it will be driver with a little track time(turbo thunder)View attachment 175766
