Alright since my car is daily driven and well I was going to go to an LQ9 but can not find one... I figured I would just buy everything and rebuild my current LS1.

My plans are as follows but I will be honest... I do not know all the tricks or "Better Options" and thought I would ask the locals.

Currently the car has a few bolt ons that I am looking to add too and push the tune (Currently running E85) further.

This is what I was thinking:
New Rings, Rehone and Ring Stock Cleaned Pistons
New Bearings Celivte (SP?) 77's
New Head Gaskets
Double Roller Timing Chain
LS3 Oil Pump (Is this the best option?)
Patriot Gold Dual Spring Valve Springs
Cam (Still weighing my options but nothing to big a medium to mild cam
Hardened Push Rods (I have no experience with this so some help knowing which ones to choose would be great)
Crane Gold 1.7 Roller Rockers
Light Weight Flywheel and Spec Clutch (LS1 Size/Style not LS7 since I want to hit SIR from time to time)
New Slave Cylinder (What is the best option here as I have replaced the Master and bled it and obviously I still have issues)
Remote Bleeder


I believe thats it but I might be forgetting something. Most of the work I am doing myself as I said I have a few items already on the car (Milled 243's, BBK Intake and 90mmTB, 25% Underdrive Pulley, Bigger Injectors and tuned for E85, Texas Speed Headers, Exhaust, Air Intake, etc)

As for whats wrong with the current motor, nothing it just has over a 150k, no oil consumption besides the ring flutter but never really seems to loose much if any. I still daily drive it I just want to cam it and well at 150k... I am not sure its going to last.

The heads have less than 20k if that on them since they were bought, cleaned, milled and redone.

Power Goals... IDK nor care at this point I just want to have fun with it. The goal for now is nothing more than seeing what I can do with a cam and bolt ons on E85. I have to admit I would not mind upping the compression a little to get closer to 11:1 maybe even 11.5:1 but I don't think thats the right thing to do right now.

Thanks

Isn't that a Cast Iron block?

 

Yes if I had found an LQ9 it would have been an Iron block but I could not find one.

 

Why cast iron in a Daily Driver?

 

Foundation for boost later on, however obviously as the opening line states I did not find an LQ9 locally so I am rebuilding the LS1 in it.

Hopefully that clears things up.
