My build began with an LQ4 6.0 iron block. I topped it with LS3 heads and LS3 intake.
Then..... GM recalled all those beautiful ZL1 and CTS-V superchargers, and gave dealerships instructions to destroy said blowers with large hammers. I doubt many were. Anyway, when the hit Fleabay, I jumped on a 6000 miles blower off a ZL1. The rest was the joy of shoehorning this between my fenders...
Nope. As the owner of a '13 CTS-V coupe, it wasn't a recall. There is a problem with the isolator coupling on the sc so GM has extended the sc warranty to 10 years and 100,000 miles. No hammers were used, lol.
824 hp @8400 rpm CNC ported 276 CC Dart 18 degree heads with titanium valves 421 ci, Lucas Fuel Injection 2 3/8ths bores for something like 2200 CFM, Bryant crank shaft 14.2 C/R Actually went with a smaller cam to make a broader TQ curve. 9000 rpm rev limiter. Vertex magneto, 7 disk clutch and 5 speed transaxle. Home made headers with merge collectors. It about hurts your ears.!

I have the opposite thing going, where I'm trying to return a matching numbers 1979 L48 to a more stock appearance. There is nothing special about this engine at all, except that it runs. The L82 intake is the only "performance" mod, but I had to remove some bling items, including air cleaner, valve covers, and a bunch of stainless braid wrap on all of the vacuum hoses. There's still a bit on the ones that don't leak.
This thread is not just about high performance or show chromed out engines.
This thread is open to all engines.
An all original, plain jane engine is just as note worthy as any supercharged monster.
All are welcome and appreciated.
Thanks for sharing!
