Need advice on ls2 engine build
Hey guys, I'm more seasoned on the c5 section but I bought a ls2 shortblock from a friend and plan on building it up for my c5z. Trying to get as close as I can to 500rwhp. More worried about track times than dyno numbers though. Wanting deep tens. Here's some of my early thoughts and questions for it.
I'm thinking stock used ls3 heads with proper springs.
Unsure on rockers, stock ls3?
Plan on rings and bearings for it
Ls7 lifters or gm racing hyd lifters?
Custom grind cam from fti-ed Curtis
Using my ls6 Katech rod bolts?
What heads gaskets? Head studs?
Ls3 intake, maybe ported by BER
I have 1-7/8 kooks for it
My ported ls2 TB work?
37# injectors probably too small?
New ls2 timing chain
I currently have a cam and bolt on ls6 in my vette. I love the cam but wasn't sure if it'd be okay to use with rectangle port heads. Unsure on how big of cams the Ls3 can handle without having clearance issues.
Also curious how many rpm's the ls2 can handle or likes.
I appreciate any help or guidance with this setup. Thank you
