Rambo's LS6 Build
Well my engine is burning oil so I decided to replace it with a new one. I am building a 400+hp LS6.
So far my build setup is as follows:
1. 01' LS1 Longblock ($650) - Just checked the casting numbers. I have an LS6 block!! About 15% of the blocks in 01 fbodies were ls6 castings. I am exited.
2. 243 heads ($350)
3. Mahle Power Piston Pack ($425 - new bought from someone on LS1TECH)
4. ARP Main Studs - $180
5. Clevite 77 Cam Bearings - $35
6. All block and head machine work, Rotating Assembly Balanced, Main Bearings, Rod Bearings, and ARP Rod Bolts - $1335 (Huck's Machine Shop in Cincinnati, OH - Highly Recommended)
7. ARP Balancer Bolt - $25
8. LS2 90MM TB - $125 new (best ebay find ever!)
9. LS2 Intake and Fuel Rails - $250 (purchased from VAS_33 on LS1tech, going from Z to G)
Total so far: $3375
Just got it up on the engine stand today to inspect...
