i stopped by last night, they didnt know anything about a Z getting an lsx swap,

 

Hahahahahahahahahaha
Yes!!!! Insurance $$$$$$

 

You're going to need some bracing!
Good luck with the build!

 

Very nice man. Thats a sick motor, I would LOVE to swap out my LS2 in my truck with one of those and f*ck looking for a new car. wowzer. :O Imagine rolling up in an import and everyone hearing that beautiful V8 growl.




P.S. I'll send you a lil something after I go to the bank Monday.

 

I emailed hinson the other day, I'm #2 on the list when they figure out this car

 

Nice!1! lol now I really am considering these guys for a swap in my truck, I just priced that motor and wow..not a bad price at all, I just have to find a good automatic tranny to hold some power.

 

The 383 is such a sweet combination of bore and stroke. It is in many ways, the perfect motor

 

+1 A great motor it is.

 

so what would it take to get a 383 to around 380-400 whp?

 

Thats not difficult. Head work starting with a good set of OEMs and at the minimum,Port Match and go with 2.02/1.60 Manley Valves, Hardened Seats and Double/Triple Springs. Compression Ratio in the 9.5 area. A nice Split Duration Cam, and top it off with a Balance job by someone who knows what he's doing.

Induction can be Spread Bore Eidelbrock for exellent off the line and good top end. That will get you in that 375 HP range pretty close.

AfterMarket Aluminum heads, Pro Port and Polish, Cam Play, Step up induction will increase that signifigantly.

Above mentioned mods are for a motor that will give you a good life expectancy with little chance of comeing apart--- A fun daily Driver.

But, as with anything, the skys the limit

 

Awesome....we can have an ARMY of super Z's....I am glad people are using Brian Hinson. It is his reputation for building FDs and 240s that led me in his direction. Man loves what he does....and yes

paypals are still being generously accepted!

 

oh yeah....to get a 383 in high horsepower....spray!!!!

LS motor thrive on it....never understood my american's love NOS until i strted reading all about the LS. Great motor and cannot wait to see the faces of people when i start it up!

 

if anyone's interested(noah maybe) the build of reggies LSX/camaro is on ESPN2 hot rod tv right now.

 

Ironically I watched that...the gentleman I have been talking with at GM, Dr. Jamie Meyer(he also recommended I watch it) was featured on the show....man does he look different than I thought.....Engine sounded insane and in stock form made over 650rwhp and 611ftlbs according to the show...i should be in for some underwear-staining good times....oh man that motor sounded sick!!!!

 

underwear-staining times.

I want that.

 

good luck noah

 

Well i just got confirmation that should all my parts arrive in time I will have her up and running in time for the Poconos Race Day. I wonder what she is gonna feel like on a 4000ft straight away

 

how many people do you think are going to ask me "what exhaust is that?"

 

too many.

Are they utilizing the OE final drive?

 

I had a 3.9 FD installed with a NISMO LSD....we are going to be using that for the first test runs. I am serously loosing sleep with all of the V8 sounds i keep making.....i sound like Vince Vaugh from Wedding CRashers....MOTORBOAT
