LS7 update...

[XcYZ]

I made a small change in direction... but it's about the same displacement. :D

:willy: well tell us more please :woot:

[mdprovee]

WOW, Congrats Scott, you must be excited. Are you keeping the twin turbo setup?

[awr68]

Nice, Boss Man!!!! Was it a bolt in deal?? And what about the twins???

[907rs]

Looks right at home between those frame rails. :thumbsup:

[XcYZ]

Rob White bought the NRE 434 from me, so it's staying in the family, so to speak.

The LS7 fits perfect with the stock dry sump oil pan. No clearance issues anywhere.

[zbugger]

Nice. And you can go with the RS front end now too.......:_paranoid

[awr68]

ahhhh, I love it when a plan comes together...RS front end and all!!! :thumbsup:

Congrats to Rob as well...did he get all the TT parts?

[rockdogz]

Sweet! You'd better hurry up now... take much longer and you'll be swapping that out for an LS9!! :rofl:

[XcYZ]

Sweet! You'd better hurry up now... take much longer and you'll be swapping that out for an LS9!! :rofl:

lol, true, but I don't think I'd go with a smaller displacement motor. :D

[customcam]

Loooks sweeet :rockin:
Turbos gone?
Ls7 power?

[Flash68]

what's the completion date? :D

[novanutcase]

I love it but then again I'm biased.............:lol:

[tomsullivan]

hey Scott, i am one step ahead of you :P

altho my cylidner heads are different.

i think this is the 3rd or 4th different setup i have modeled in the year modeling this lol

it look really sleck with the ls, clean

[Sales@Dutchboys]

Sweet setup.... Will we see it on the 07 power tour?

[Steve68]

Nice, you had a real nice set up, but you'll probably like that one too, I'm a cam away from assembeling the LS1,

[Rybar]

Ummmmm Yeaaahhh! :lol: Scott, you are hilarious. Keep changing your mind for the newest stuff. :thumbsup: I see a stroked, forged TT LS7 in your future. :yes:

great news, I love it :hail:

[slow4dr]

:thumbsup:

Looking awesome Scott. Are you going to keep it N/A?

Now I don't feel so bad changing my mind all the time.

[jimhamptons]

Very Nice! :thumbsup:

[BC69]

So you have this old junk engine sitting around someplace huh? You were probably just going to throw it out right? I mean, I wouldnt mind taking your old junk! ;) :D :rolleyes:



Good to get some updates!


Tim

[mazspeed]

I was wondering if you got that motor. Nice to see it fits perfectly in the car. Looks killer. :thumbsup:

[jeff hanson]

copycat:rofl: lookin good man, glad to see you finally got it.:thumbsup: Now it's a race to see who fires first!:cheers: :woot:

[DB Z28]

Looks Nice Can,t wait till my engine is finished. Parts now get polished due date mid March.

[XcYZ]

You'll beat me. You're still shooting for Autorama, right? When you fire it up, be sure to shoot some video. :thumbsup:

[rwhite692]

....Congrats to Rob as well...did he get all the TT parts?

Hi Tony Thanks. The Turbos? Well, in a way, yes I did.... a while back, I bought the same banks TT setup from Jim Hall. (I also bought Scotts D+D T56, McLeod twindisc, Ron Davis Intercooler setup, and BS3).

I gave my wife a big hug. I'm still not sure if she actually hugged me back....

Congrats Scott on the new LS7 and thanks for a great deal. The NRE 434 is liking the relatively warm winter weather over here.

Well, I've officially thrown in the towel on Autorama. I just couldn't make enough things happen all at once to make it. Oh well, just means I can be a little more paticular on the reassembly. It's still moving forward at a pretty rapid pace and should be completed some time late March, early April. Now I've got my sites set on Super Chevy show first weekend in May, in Columbus. We have a pretty big show here on the same weekend at the GM tech center. Decisions, decisions. Hope to see yours up and running soon:thumbsup:

Jeff your car is really looking great and whenever you get it completed, it will be awesome!! Can't wait to check it out. -Rob

[Ummgawa]

That looks Maaavelous. Whe are we going to hear it fired up?

[Roger Poirier]

what's the completion date? :D


There is no completion date. He is like any other tradesmen. A carpenter always owns a home never completed. A house painter has paint peeling form the outside of his house and it has been that way for years. Scott has a internet g-machine network and his car sits at home unfinished for years and years and years.

Remember he wants to repaint the car too. My own car took some 30 years to complete. Who know's I could be dead and have dirt thrown over me by the time he is finished. :lol:

Sorry Scott, that should motivate you.....

R.P.

[Stuart Adams]

Very cool Scott. Your car will be really cool. I guess now you could wait to the end of the build to decide on RS or not.

Congrats, you deserve it.:thumbsup:

[jonny51]

Damn that transmission gets around!

[Speedster]

Awesome Scott. Now you have a real SCREAMER on your hands. That motor will sound incredible at redline....

[Dave95z28]

I wonder if there is any possibility of them offering them in 1 7/8" tubing or larger for those considering running 408+ cubes.

Dave

[67Sally]

Sweet change in direction Scott.

[Roger Poirier]

Scott,

The novice that I am, are you going to put the turbos back on this engine? If not will this engine / front end build be a similar set up to what Steve has at PHR?

R.P.

[XcYZ]

I still want to add boost, but my plan at this point will be to get the car finished first. Roger, it will be similar to Steve's.

The headers are 1.75" and they're uncoated. I'm evaluating what I want to do. Run them as is, cut the primaries and have a local fabricator create stepped headers by welding 1.875" primaries tubes 6" past the flange, or perhaps try a different header all together. We're very fortunate to have Art Morrison involved with Lateral-g as they are willing to bend over backwards for their customers. :thumbsup:

The ATS headers are very nice but are cost prohibitive to my project.

[XcYZ]

I got my Rockland Standard T56 today and got it in the car. I'll be measuring for a driveshaft tomorrow. Feels good to make some progress on the car. :)

[novanutcase]

Damn.....That LS7 looks snug as a bug in a rug! Like it was there all along!

[Datsbad]

Scott, Those headers are 1.75 right? They look big in the pics.
What is the plan for having this car done? PT this year ? I would love to see it . Looks good :thumbsup:

[XcYZ]

Thanks Jason. :)

Yep, they are 1.75" primaries. They are from Art Morrison for their (and your) new subframe. They're really nice.

I've been talking to Kooks about a set of conversion headers. As you know, the exhaust ports on the LS7 are different from the standard LS port and I'd like a bigger primary. Although I wouldn't be scared to run the Art Morrison headers I have now. :thumbsup:

[Mizfit]

looks great scott. Can't wait to see that thing on the road:thumbsup:

Looking good Scott! Shouldn't be long till it's on the road...:thumbsup:

[Roger Poirier]

Looking good Scott! Shouldn't be long till it's on the road...:thumbsup:

Scott, would it not be easier to install a supercharger on that engine, then go through all the work of those turbos? How much power do you really need anyways? It would make that engine compartment a lot cleaner.

I have a Saleen 2001 281SC. You can't keep the car on the road at high rmp's and low speeds. haha. I have had it at 166 mph top speed. Ran out of 5th gear. How fast do you need to go?

I'm just trying to help you in the thought process of getting that car finished and on the road and on its way to completion. Everytime I see pics of that car it has new rims, headers, engine, you name it, you have changed it.

Next, you will be putting in a LS10 which has not even come out yet. I know you still want to paint the car too. Your going to be like me, thirty years later you have got it right. Plus I stuck to one engine and the same interior. lol.

R.P. The motivator

[Sales@Dutchboys]

Have to agree with roger.
I just wanna get my car done as well. only 93 days till year one roger....lol and we still gotta install new motor make some headers work and repaint some stuff lol its a never ending battle. you see something that you think looks cool and you want it done on your car.
(didnt mean to highjack the thread) lol
Car looks sweet steve. When are you going to try to have it done by? power tour???

[trapin]

I guess the LSX bug is going to bite us all eventually. It even got a fence sitter like me to climb down. :D

Awesome news Scott. You're car just got that much cooler. :thumbsup:

Oh, and by the way..........Woodward, perhaps? :unibrow:

[XcYZ]

I'm planning on Woodward again. :) But getting the car there would be pretty tight as it's going to go to paint first.

[J2SpeedandCustom]

But getting the car there would be pretty tight as it's going to go to paint first.

whahhhh? You can always paint it later...geez

[XcYZ]

whahhhh? You can always paint it later...geez

True, but there's a very, very good possibilty that the car will have a deadline of being finished by the last week of October. ;)

[clill]

My vote is blow off paint for now and make it ready for Power Tour. October deadline sounds like SEMA. You can pull it apart after Power Tour and paint it then. You want all the bugs worked out before paint....

[Bowtieracing]

This :lateral: getting better and better every day!!!!!!

Have Scott bought the drysump tank yet? Are you going aftermarket or stock C6 vette tank ?

[96z28ss]

Scott you still have the Wayne Due frame correct?

So the headers fit both the Art Morrison frame and Wayne due's?

[XcYZ]

Yep, I have the Wayne Due subframe. The headers fit really good, the drop is perfect.

[Nate Hanson]

Scott--

Off topic, but I was wondering if i could get together with you to discuss a t56 swap into my s10?

[XcYZ]

Sure thing, Nate. Shoot me an e-mail at [email protected] :thumbsup:

[69MyWay]

What kind of harness/computer are you running?

[XcYZ]

It's the factory E38 and harness that's been reworked by Speartech. I'll be using the throttle by wire.

It's pretty slick. Speartech has it down to a simple plug and play, all the extras, like VATS, have been removed.

[Jay Hilliard]

Looks AWESOME Scott. Glad to see the project moving along again :yes:.

I sure do wish Wayne could have stayed in business. I was wanting the same frame you have, as I had converted my stock frame with DSE coilovers etc. I would love to have R&P and NO header issues.

Once you get the engine fired, you will get motivated I'm sure!

thanks for sharing some pics..

[XcYZ]

Winter can be tough on the lawn. :D The fender is hanging by a couple of bolts, I loosely mounted it so I could get a better feel for where the dry sump tank is going. Then I decided as long as it was all together, I'd roll it out of the shop and sweep up. I didn't bother messing with the stupid antenna. It's coming out anyways.

[Payton King]

new oil hoses or do you think the stock ones will work? When Jim was helping the Hendrick's LS7 59 Vette he had to make new hoses. He cut the ends off and welded them to AN fittings. If you need to, I can get you his number and y'all can speak about it.

[XcYZ]

I have -12 AN adapters for the pan. Makes it an easy job. :thumbsup:

I am just poking fun :lol:

[69MyWay]

Scott,

I am learning more about the LS2/7 stuff now. There are major differences in the electronics to make them go from the LS1 stuff, or even the early/first gen LS2 motors.

The 07 Trailblazer SS has saved the day for the hot rod guy doing an auto trans, as you can get the E67 computer from that and the trans module to power up a 58 tooth reluctor in a hot rod application.

The E38 is a Vette computer - and is best suited for a manual trans.

[XcYZ]

Getting ever closer to firing up the LS7. I'm using at set of Kooks stainless headers, but had major issues with steering shaft and the #1 primary. I sent them to Stenod Performance and had them cut out the primary and fabricate a new one to my specs. They did a fantastic job. I couldn't be happier. While they were there, I had them install a set of V-band clamps on the collector. They even removed the Kooks stainless steel name plate and TIG'd it on the new primary.

Check out the welds. :thumbsup:

http://www.lateral-g.net/g69/project/motor/0053.jpg

http://www.lateral-g.net/g69/project/motor/0055.jpg

[XcYZ]

Here's a few more items to go along with the update. I got the MODO Innovations pedal mounted to the LS7 throttle by wire assembly.

I also got a Nitrous Express LS7 MAF system. It's absolutely trick, it ties into the TPS wire on the engine harness and self learns where WOT is, which in turn is the switch to activate the shot. The nozzles and solenoids are all contained in a billet MAF housing that's annodized black. It's a beautiful piece.

[Stenod]

Damn are those pedals sweet! Got any pictures of it in the car yet?

Stenod

[PTAddict]

I hope my new project turns out half this nice.

Are those Kooks headers specific for our kind of application, or are those just 4th gen headers that you modified?

Get this project finished and on the road, so the rest of us can live vicariously, at least until you rip it apart for the next engine!

[XcYZ]

They are 4th Gen F-body LS7 conversion headers. They're close as is, but I had Stenod Performance move the #1 primary to clear the steering shaft (as well as weld on a set of V-band collector flanges). The headers will work great, but since they're for a 4th Gen, the collectors don't point straight back and aren't quite symmetrical. You'll never see that with the car on teh groun, hood open, etc, but when it's on a lift, it will be obvious. I'm not worried about that though, it's performance first, symmetry second.

I'm very close to firing it up. I'm just waiting for a few parts to show up, then I simply need to plumb it, add 12V, and make some noise. :)

[syborg tt]

[tndude]

Scott, I forget, what exhaust did you say you were going to go with?

[96z28ss]

What transmission are you going with behind the LS7?
Will you be using a SFI bellhousing?

[XcYZ]

The exhaust is 3" mandrel with and X and the mufflers are Spintech.

The T56 is a reworked unit from Rockland Standard. Right now, the bellhousing is stock, but I'll be looking into an SFI approved steel bellhousing down the road.

Reason I asked was I just ordered a mcleod SFI bellhousing for my car and it seems to be a universal unit and it has starter provisions on both sides which can effect your exhaust routing if you install one at a later date.
Steve has one on Penny and he said it make the driverside exhaust routing a bit tricky.

I've read some disturbing things about the late-model F-body version of the McLeod SFI bellhousing over on LS1Tech.com - seems there are some unexplained issues with alignment or something else damaging the trans.

In my case, I decided to use the stock bellhousing with a tailored bellhousing blanket from these folks:

http://exoticmuscle.com/catquery.php?EMCAT=fbody&CATSEL=SAFETY#F6800

(scroll down, second from bottom).

The blanket is probably not technically NHRA legal, nor is it probably as absolutely safe as an SFI bell, but it's certainly safer than nothing and has the additional advantages of much lower weight and no exhaust clearance issues ...

[XcYZ]

The motor is completely finished and set in the car, ready to fire. Working on the power steering, Hydroboost, and fuel system plumbing. I have the computer, harness, radiator hoses, etc, everything I need to fire it up. It won't be long now, but I doubt I'll push to fire it before Power Tour. I'm pretty stoked, had to share a few pics. :)

Looks killer!! Good to see progress!!
What are you doing to vent the motor? Can something other than valve cover vents/fittings be done??

[jonny51]

Nice work Scott:thumbsup:

[XcYZ]

Jim, I fab'd the intake plumbing with 4" mandrel bend steel. I spray bombed it satin to see if I wanted to go that route or possibly silver. After seeing it in satin, I'll have a friend of mine do a little body work to it and spray it.

Tony, there's a breather in the valve cover that will be plumbed to the remote breather/separator tank.

[rich-allen]

Looks great Scott!

The welds on the dry sump system look sweet too!

[awr68]

Tony, there's a breather in the valve cover that will be plumbed to the remote breather/separator tank.

That's what I want to do as well, but not sure if I can package a breather tank and still keep the fire wall uncluttered with everything else that is going on. I can't put it next to the headlight due to the IC plumbing...time will tell I guess. :)

[camcojb]

that really looks good Scott, very impressive!

Jody

[Rybar]

Does look very impressive Scott. :thumbsup: Can't wait till it's done. Are you planning on powdercoating that subframe? Or is that going to be done when the car is painted down the road?

[XcYZ]

Thanks. :)

I'm up in the air on the subframe. I haven't decided on either powdercoating it or having it painted black with a satin clear.

its a lot easier to touch up paint. If you chip pwder coat there is no going back. What are the deminsions on the patterson dry sump tank and what is the capacity?

[XcYZ]

Thanks Joe. :thumbsup:

That's a very good point, Travis. As for dimensions, the tank is 6" x 20" with an 8 quart capacity. Peterson can make them in 6", 7" and 9" diameters in about any capacity that you want, as well as any bung configuration. ATS is a dealer for Peterson, he can give you all the options.

I have the huge tank as well. Takes a little while for the oil to heat up!

does your car have a pre heater? Scott are you going to run a preheater?

[XcYZ]

No, no preheater. I didn't figure I was going to be in pit lane waiting to make a qualifying pass with the motor. :D

[Garage Dog 65]

Looking great Scott ! Must be a nice feeling to be that close to finshing and driving that baby. Fire It UP !!! (Tuttle SR...)

Congrats !!

[va72mlibu]

no preheater here also. Just let it idle a few minutes, then < 3k RPMs until operating temp.

[awr68]

Scott, are you going to drive it around the hood before tearing it down for paint? Have fun in Camaro X...it's just about time!!! :)

[Steve68]

Did Andrew build a fire under you, some very quick and nice work for sure!

[XcYZ]

I got the complete fuel system built and in the car last night. I put a few gallons of gas in it and set fuel pressure. Getting sooo close... if I wasn't leaving for the Power Tour, I'd have it running this weekend.

I was going to roll the car outside tonight and get some better shots of the engine compartment, but it never stopped raining. Maybe tomorrow evening. :)

[awr68]

Rain!?! It's sunny and 90* here....I though we got all the rain!? ;)

I want to hear it!! vid vid vid!!
