Re: ls1 kenne bell project finally making progress

Hey, a friend also do a ls1 swap (stroker 6.3ltr) at first with a supercharger and now he is waiting for a blower
with the supercharger he has got nearly 650hp and tooooo much torque ;-) on the track he has got many problems with tracktion and finished the quarter mile with 230km/h (ca 144 mph)

so if you have some questions, maybe we can help you ;-)

this was my little helper for most of this :)

pics below are not best quality a few of engine and underside. entire drivetrain is in the truck and bolted down. need to wire the transmission neutral safety switch. and interior will be pretty much be ready to go back together.

need to fab a set of headers so i can run the wires to the starter without having to worry about melting shit.

computer is in the passenger floorboard engine pretty much all wired up

need to get headers done and put the core support back on to start fitting the radiator and fan setup
