It's not on there yet. Still waiting in a bracket for it.

Me either! The guy that did my turbo setup said it shouldn't be a problem to get 750hp out it. I just need a second pump and bigger injectors now... Well see how it goes though, I'll be happy just to be able to drive it again for now.

If anyone is interested I am still selling the built/stroked 6.3L LS1 from my car. $3,500 shipped!

Has the following:
1) Callies Compstar Forged Crank 4.0 Stroke
2) Callies Compstar Forged H-Beam Rods 6.125 Length
3) Diamond Racing 12.8:1 forged Nitrous Pistons 3.910 Diameter
4) Total Seal Piston Rings
5) ACL Rod Bearings
6) ACL Main Bearings
7) ACL Cam Bearings
8) ARP Main Studs
9) ARP Rod Bolts
10) ARP Head Studs
11) PAC Beehive Valve Springs
12) Ported 853 Heads
13) Texas Speed Torquer V2 Cam
14) Ported Oil Pump
15) Summit Racing Torque Damper
16) Texas Speed Chromoly Pushrods
17) Brand new hydraulic lifters

Motor has a 58x reluctor which allows you to use some of the better engine management out there for the LS's plus you can use any standalone 60-2 engine management such as Megasquirt or Electromotive.

Nothing wrong with the motor and it only has a couple of hours on it. Ran 9.67 second 1/4 mile with this motor on nitrous and 10.66 on motor (could have gone faster but I only made two motor passes to get the tires dialed in then switched to nitrous).

PM me if you are interested!

I made 435whp on motor thru a TH400 with 24% loss (based on fuel requirements). 532whp on nitrous. Dyno/shop I used also reads low compared to others. Those numbers are with normal timing as well. I still regret not being more aggressive with timing and nitrous.

Also have there headers and planing on getting the chase bays harness. I found an engine, it's out of a 98 t/a. Is this engine too old. ?

Way to old with that motor the swap would be a waste a huge waste.
