Default Just to show my Winter project...

Hey everyone. I just wanted to show off what I'm doing this winter.
Ported heads
Cam (extremely mild)
Ported manifold
Flex fuel conversion
Lowering bolts
Forgelines!

Looking to hit around 500rwhp and keep stock driveability. Should be a very easy goal.
I think I'll be done with the heads in about a week and a half. Then to start the tear down. I keep this updated with pics as I go.

Nice build!!! I am going with LPE's ported heads and cam, and LT's. Here is a video of their 550 HP head/cam package. Looks pretty impressive:

I'll be very interested to see your before & after porting pictures! I currently have a stock intake manifold sitting here too and I'm toying with a few ideas on what to do with it.

I am doing a similar project, although I am going with Texas Speed. I am also doing cooling and a brake upgrade.

Slow Friday, so I decided to put on the lowering bolts and wheels!
And if there's time, the flex conversion...
Waiting on the Katech valley plate before I can do any real engine work.

Might get to porting the manifold later this weekend too....
