Re: Project Corvette

Welp, only recoverable item from the old motor is one good head core and the stroker crank. Block was not repairable/resleevable, all the cylinders had scoring from junk flying around and the cam was junk too.

Doug Rippie Motorsports is going to build me a new LS3 427 using the old crank. Eagle Rods and JE pistons. Compression will be lowered to 9.5 and a supercharger cam from Brian Tooley will be used. One new head will be ordered and they are going to put Ferrea solid stainless valves with Comp 921 dual valve spring kit and a trunion bearing kit for the new gm rockers too.

Still pondering on what clutch to use, but probably the LT1S from monster which is a C7 twin disk.

Already have all new fluids, so im going to swap the trans and diff fluid in the mean time and prep the engine bay for install once I get it from them. Sounds like mid May.
