gee I guess having more broken toys is just what I needed!! I got an all black 02 Z06 for a great price with a wounded engine. The car broke a valve spring and the head of the valve is sticking out of a big hole in the piston

block bore looks good, and really pretty minimal damage to the head that can be fixed.

So the winter will be another build. I am going to either refresh the factory ls6 if the block is ok, or go with a small 4.8 iron block that I have on the stand ready to go

That engine is setup for a blower or turbos that would drive the cost up but be more fun when done.

This z needed some love and called to me and followed me home. Time to pull the engine out and see what pieces are still good!

my neighbor got hurt so the 2 post lift is made out of unubtanium

I got curious and pulled the valve covers and see the dropped valve

I pulled the head and the valve head broke off and stuck in a nice hole in the center of the piston.

Head got beat up but not too badly, and it looks like the block might be ok.

so the game plan got more interesting. My build plan is a TTix 4.8 iron block with gen 4 rods and forged wiseco .02o over pistons

I have most of the parts except upgraded clutch and fuel system, I have some FIC 127 lb injectors, and an external pump so I'm looking at the ECS setup to use most of what I have

it's a 2002 so I can get to the tanks and I'll be dropping the drivetrain and cradles to get the engine out

I've got some good pieces down the road if the ls6 block is viable to put it back together

project is taking shape!!

you need to finish that d1x project, i'm waiting on numbers

Rkreigh

need help with that one too, it will likely be later in Jan for any real progress there. I plan to dial it at around 850 at the tire if you want numbers.

At least its the old fuel system easier to work with. Chris1313 makes some nice looking fuel pump setups.

Rkreigh

not a fan of the c5 fuel systems, but I agree the earlier cars are better!! I have my eye on an ecs fuel ring and hobbs switch to control a big booster pump

might replace the stocker pump too with something better. The dual intanks look like a great option too!!

Ok im lost here. Been reading all ur post and im completely lost on what hell is going on here. How many engines have u bought how many projects what r u doing and which engine are going to be N/A or boosted. How many cars r sitting and engine's?? nWhich r u starting first waiting on part Blah Blah Blah.

Are you going to run 93 or e85? If 93 I'm running my car on a single 525. Works like a champ.

There chris 1313 intank set up comes with a fuel hat that has the AN fittings already built in so no need for the ECS external pump or fuel ring.

Rkreigh

e85 looking for 800 rwhp so I'll need the dual pumps. sounds like a nice setup and keeping the pumps in the tank is nice

Chris1313 pumps are the way to go. Running his dual 525 setup in mine. It's a nice assembly.

Rkreigh

now I remember how much I hate the c5 04 fuel system, looks like my intank just quit, zero fuel pressure

I see the facebook page for chris1313, how do you order these?? not a FB guy

ascastil

Contact him on FB messenger. Dudes legit with a good reputation, dealt with him a few times. I got the dual 525s with a harness from him.

Rkreigh

Thanks!! dual 525s seem clean and ez Like the look, seems high quality.

ok, too many projects at once and $$ have gone to fix wife and daughter's rides (bank of dad,. daily withdrawls, no paybacks). black c5z is being sold.

12k is the price, IF I don't get that, it goes in storage until funds are avail. If it doesn't fetch the fold, stays in the family.

Nice car, ez rebuild, or I have a fresh 4.8 engine ready to go for a good price that will make the power NA or better still boost it (which is what I want to do)

nothing like falling down the mineshaft with a good pull
