Next up is a forged LS2 402, possible 10 rib overdrive, no restrictor plate, gorilla glue to keep the heads down, a Godzilla cam = insane amounts of boost

You know when you came over and sat with us I gave you one of my cokes and Bill and I had to drink Capt. Morgan a little stronger.
If you need anything drop me an e-mail and I'll be down.

Hey Stephen... just curious (and bear with me if you have answered this already)... but are you gonna repair this block and get it running or are you tearing it down in preparation for you new monster engine.
Have fun

Roger I am pretty sure he is getting a new LS2 402 short forged block this time. He already got the cam and the heads at his place. He's also getting LS2 Intake and 90mm TB
Stephen, I will try my best to be down there and give you a hand

My current LS1 is coming out along with my drivetrain. A new forged LS2 402ci will be going back in along with an even bigger camshaft and LQ9 heads. And of course, it will be supercharged
I decided against a longer stroke (4.100inch = 412ci) LS2 because I still want to spin the engine to 7500rpm.Regarding my drivetrain, even though it is a combination of the best from ECS/DTE/RPM/LGM, and it's only 6 months old and fairly robust (serious understatement), I am going to beef up some more pieces on the drivetrain that I think need customising. Stay tuned for those mods - many of them unique - in a future "Reincarnation" Grond Chronicle.
Grond will be off of the road for about 4 months as I have a LOT of stuff I want to do, and the new engine gives me an excuse to do it.
It will be a lot of fun
Stephen

Good luck Stephen with the overhaul.
4 months.....At least the relocation to florida will afford you drive time when completed in the fall vs. the snow from up north
Nice to see you at the CI
