Nice!!

Are you going to have any port work done to the L92s?

So...the L92s were backordered, and he ended up ordering the LS3 heads, which apparently have superior sodium filled valves? Somebody needs to clear this up for me :lol: They were only $50 more, but they were available. Fuel system parts for the different return system finally showed up.

I need to roll down to the shop and get pictures. He has it on jack stands, and has blasted, painted, and cleared all 4 calipers in Chevy Orange :lol:

We are doing the engine in Chevy Orange, too :D2

Says he remembers my Chevelle engine being that color, and always loved it. Made me smile, the kid was 7 when I sold it, right before we moved to AK. Race him, Daddy, race him! He used to say, when we rumbled down the street in that thing. :lol:

Awesome!

The LS3/L92s are the same castings just different valves and springs.

That's a deal for jus $50 more.

I know, right?

Well, he burned up the trans. Curse of the Blackbear tune, and his father's bad examples, I suppose.

He picked up a trans, used, with 80K on it, and is having a local shop go through it. I tried to convince him to go through it himself, but he needs to get it back on the road. He will have it upgraded to handle the new engine.

:sigh:

That's a bummer. But, in some ways it kind of a right of passage to becoming a true hot rodder. His first smoked transmission:thumbs: you are teaching him well.
