Be fun to find a set of clear valve covers. Those shaft rockers must look like a work of art by themselves.
Rather certain the engine will scare more than women and kids. Might encourage the "other brands" to find a place at the curb...

Killer, nice to see a big block radiator upper mount and shroud,
not many cars built correctly like this, really nice.

Some pretty nice results. IF you wanted a "standard" trans the LSC5100 is easily up to the task of handling the power this engine make.

WE have wondered about that intake for "the-next-step" up on our dual-plane intake engines. Not sure it would be worth much on my 800+Hp ZL1, but on a big engine it could be worth some.

You need to bring that to SCR in July!

Thanks for the compliment! There are many cool things hidden inside...Aside from the Jesel rocker system (steel rockers too), it has custom Trend double taper pushrods (3/8-7/16-3/8-inch), PAC valve springs, 10-degree titanium retainers, Jesel .904 (Hemi size) roller lifters, all ARP fasteners and so on. Actually, the toughest part of the entire process was trying to keep it looking closer to stock...

Here's a pic of the engine while I was working on it:

Working on video thing...L-O-L.
I don't how much fun it is yet...it was -28 yesterday and the wind was howling! I recently moved back to the Canadian prairies from the west coast, so there won't be any road tests for a bit ...

So cool! I think I’m in love!

That will be an insane bucket of fun, can't wait to hear it as well.

Any dyno time on it? Or is that "top secret"?

Thank you. Using small block frame & motor mounts + 6 cylinder or small block rad supports are some of my pet peeves…

The rad is a Dewitt’s aluminum job. Looks stock at first glance. Fabulous quality.

Thank you for the compliment. No dyno time because life got in the way…we moved half way across the country, so that was part of it. I suspect it will peel out pretty good though..😅
