Making some more progress, found out that 2 of the fuel lines for the direct port won't work so I need to make some replacements, got the heads torqued down. All we're waiting on now....

1) Jesel J2k Rockers From ETP
2) Custom Pushrods from Comp
3) Vacuum Pumps from A @ A Corvettes
4) Finish up the fuel system
5) Modify vararam to a 4" outlet

Yeah but I am not going to reveal the numbers until the build is finished. They were stout to say the least. The guy that flowed them runs a pure stock class with the LS1 where every little bit counts. He said that they outflowed every ported LS1 head he has ever flowed on his bench. I can say that they went 20 - 25cfm higher than ANY LS1 head he has ever seen.

First thing I noticed as well as everyone I assume this is what you are modifying the vararam for---another really impressive thing no one mentioned is how impecably clean and detailed the entire motor is, its a work of art--can't wait to see what this thing can do--

If mine looked that good I'd mount it on the wall like a deer.

Looks like my motor has a brother. We finished the bottom end of the 2nd motor that is going to be a mirror image except more of a Mild street build.

I don't know what the big deal is. It still looks like a stock LS1 engine.














Sweet lookin engine man.

That 346 will probably set every record around. Preliminary estimation say this motor will make 530+rwhp. There are VERY VERY VERY few 346" motors making anything remotely close to that. We have made sure we used only the finest and latest accessories for the LS1.
