Well, you're on your way now! 402. That used to be known as a 396 BBC bored .030, lol.

I'm going to be upgrading to a 383 this fall.

Anyways, I bet your car will be a screamer for sure!

I've done it with my honda even but yes it makes LS1 cars 10X easier to drop.

I can't wait for it to go back up

Mr. Luos · #20 07-25-2005, 06:21 PM

WEEEE....

Man that is just odd looking compared to the old blocks, lol. I had to look at it for a minute there before I figured out what it was!

What does the ports look like on LS1 heads?

Lol. They dont even look like Chevrolet heads, lol. Even the valves are set in different (just noticed that from the other pictures). They're laid out like Fords are (intake/exhaust, intake/exhaust, etc.) instead of like Chevrolets used to be (intake/exhaust, exhaust/intake, intake/exhaust, exhaust/intake).

The ports are different too. See, all of that looks backwards to me becuase I'm used to the 1st gen blocks, lol. Arre the driver side cylinders still 1-3-5-7 and the passenger side 2-4-6-8 or has that changed?

Either way, looks like there is still alot of room to open up those ports. You are buying AFR heads to go on the 402 short block though right?

Mr. Luos · #25 07-26-2005, 12:50 AM

Yeah. Not 100% on the heads again.

The order is the same though. 1-3-5-7 is the drivers side, 2-4-6-8 is the passenger side.

That was from experience. They made Changing spark plug wires a task that takes about 2 hours..on a v6.

I wouldn't mind getting a 402 for the firechicken (or an LS1 for that matter). Where are you getting it from and about how much power are you looking at from it?

GM engines get shitty when they start messing with cylinder bank numbering for some reason. It's like a curse for GM to change that. Look at some of their V6's they tried 123L 456R on... Someday though, they'll change it on their V8's and i'll get to prove my theory to the world...i hope not though...

LOL. Well I'm a little disappointed in the LS1's head design myself, lol. That's nothing like an SBC head of old. Looks a lot like that off brand of engines (I consider Ford an off brand for high performance engines, lol).

Oh well, lol. So Mr. Lous, what type of heads are you considering now? I dont know if they make them for LS1s or not, but if they do, I'd reccomend Dart Pro 1s.

-The Stig- · #29 07-26-2005, 06:24 PM

AFR's!!!11!!!

Mr. Luos · #30 07-26-2005, 10:13 PM

I am still looking at AFR 225's. But the fucking price....

TSP has some good flowing heads, as well as TEA.
I am thinking anything that flows over 310cfm at .600+ lift will be just fine.
TSP = Texas Speed. They are Precision Race Component cnc'd.
TEA = Total Engine Airflow. One of the top GM head porters right now. They take GM stock heads, and make them flow 320cfm.

Hell....I got plugs down under an hour on my LS1.
And I am looking for about 480-510 RWHP with the LS6 intake on top, not the FAST 90mm stuff yet.
