Copper rings, of course, for sealing the heads?

Or pyramid rings, developed by Andreas from Sweden?

very nice. that LSX block has been proven in I think basically all the fastest 1/2 mile vettes out there so I think you'll be much happier this time around. very curious to see how much whp you push through that setup as very similar to the longblock in my car although I'm making a fraction of your power level

You also NEED (not should) make a walled barrier between the passenger compartment at the fuel cell. If **** goes bad and that cell gets crushed guess who's wearing its contents....YOU.

I know it seems like I'm giving you **** (repeatedly) but in actuality I'm just trying to look out for you, and these events as a whole. Its going to take one really bad incident for it all to change. You've come sooooo far with the car and have spent ungodly amounts of cash....finish it off correctly man, PLEASE.

Selling it closes a chapter on the car I'd rather forget

If you know anyone wanted a stout motor ready to put down 1200rwhp with only 1500 miles Im selling for 18k. Close to 40 spent on it

Same way I would do it.. Those Pro series steel are no cheap date.

You doing a larger diameter bushed and keyed lifter as well?

I tried DIY drilling an old block like that....drilled into the bloody stud hole LOL.

After that I just bought a block that was machined properly for squirters. Although the OEM squirters were not particularly stroker friendly, which was a bit of a ballache.
