Nah I like the 50/50 balance of the S14 chassis, plus I have everything to do it right. I'mooking at maybe 600+HP

Good luck with the build, but 600HP with LS1, if not stroked, turbo or supercharger not going to happen..

In response to the reply above, I took the shortblock to school and disasembled the bottom end and was very dissapointed














#6 rod connecting rod bearing took a dump, must have had an oiling issue and over reved it

[Senor_Nismo]

So after all this and 30 minutes of being pissed off, I decided to build an LS7 and stroke the shit out of the motor. Im leaning towardsa texas speed 7.0 kit, with that in mind I want to get atleast 427 Cubic Inches out of her. The motor almost weighs as much as the stock KA24de





I decided on this Rotating assembly

Texas Speed & Performance rotating assemblies offer the best durability with the best pricing available! Our 438 and 441 C.I.D. LS7/LSx rotating assemblies come standard with your choice of a forged Callies Compstar 4.10" or 4.125" stroke crankshaft, Texas Speed & Performance H-Beam 6.125" connecting rods with ARP 8740 rod bolts, and Mahle-8cc flat-top pistons, wrist pins, and plasma moly piston ring set. Callies offers both a 4.10" and 4.125" stroke crankshaft, which we have listed. All of the piston sets listed will work with either stroke crankshaft; The 4.10" stroke crankshaft will require a slightly shorter block deck height vs. the 4.125" in order to achieve a "zero deck" setup.

Did you copy this from their website. Like the description of the product. Amazing build so far.

any actually updates coming soon?

[Senor_Nismo]

I finally got a chance to measure the pistons and it looks like they are at 3.90 inches, so I'm debating to go bigger pistons, seeing the conditon of the oil the engine had blew a head gasket. So most likely I will be boring the cylinders out.
