454 LSX build in my 2001 Trans Am

[BAMF TA]

Interior can be taken care of later can't it? I know it'll drive you crazy but at least you'll be able to drive it if you get it running before it's looking perfect.

I know I should do it later. but damn, it makes me angry. This will be the first corner, Ive really cut. (besides WCCH Ported heads, but thats only 40HP, ill be plenty happy with ONLY ~580WHP)

Well, I'm really heading towards this mentality.

wow, a little bit to go still, get on it!! and good luck! cant wait to see this monster!

[Formula Z]

you have two sets of lifters listed up there, are you trying to decide which ones or is that a misprint? i cant wait to see this thing done either.

one must be rockers???

[Fbomb]

Morels have crossbars to keep the lifters from rotating and destroying a cam. LS7 rockers are just fine though.

400 to powdercoat your wheels? Thats outrageous. Get with H&H here in fenton, in the industrial park off of owen. There going to do mine for $250ish, including blasting the current paint and stuff off.

[Superman09]

Cool project! I followed you a lot over on LS1Tech when you were deciding what to do for power. Glad to see it coming closer to the end, should be awesome!
