    Help with engine build

    Dang it now, I just bought an engine with SC ported heads last week.... :rofl: I didn't port them on the marine 900's upon advice from those who have ran ported at high power. Bone stock ports, just better springs, keepers, and rail bolts. Porting is 30% skill and 70% luck that casting your...

    LML oil pump conversion info....

    No, block side remains stock to keep gear tooth alignment. GM pushed everthing else out to fit the pump. Pick up tube is now round and much larger on lml than older models. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Help with engine build

    Callies makes a stock spec replacement crank, using better aloys for under 2k now. Probably be good ods for the $. But rest is mostly required hardware to have any piece of mind. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    I haven't fired them up yet. Picked up the second engine tonight and grabbed you a few more pictures. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    LML oil pump conversion info....

    Located these of finished product. Dustin said we cut about 0.190" in the area you can see under reluctor ring. That is on suction side of pump, so shouldn't be an issues with pressure related failure. We used LB7 cam gears with LBZ/LMM reluctor rings. Cam reluctor needed a slight mod on...

    LML Marine swap

    You've really been practicing :) I'll text ya when I'm rolling that way. Just waiting on mounting plates from my laser guy. I'm on hold till I know where I'm gonna mount the main heat exchangers. May have to go where you put your charge cooler..

    Digital MAF Scaling

    That's certainly a good option to consider, just set a 9khz max output to the ECU. Easiest I've came up with so far would be just run one MAF on a single turbo, recalibrate scale to double that value and would likely be dang close most of the time. Plan was to do a nice nice unit with a 15khz...

    LML Marine swap

    Planning on being in town middle of next week for a full engine fitting in the Baja bilge. Are you close to firing your puppies up? If so, I'll bring the techie tools.

    Digital MAF Scaling

    Working on a way to run dual digital MAF units on a E35B. Basically taking two MAF sensor signals and combine those values into a single output with a total fed to ECM. To do this, I plan to use the new style [and cheaper] GM 15865791 MAF. Some guys over on a Corvette Forum thread mapped out...

    LML oil pump conversion info....

    Found a couple pics of the keyed gear mod with shortened shaft we did first. But if I recall correctly, we had to shorten it further to clear the cover. I'll have to hit Dustin up for photos of the shaved pump case. I just pushed until it fit. He actually did all the grunt work on this one.. :D

    Think I know where to find ya a few, by Sunday. The machine shop cost was under a hundo, even cutting the shaft twice.. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    LML oil pump conversion info....

    Nice work. So basically Melling does the same mod with these pumps that they've done to make HV SBC pumps for past 30yrs. Change the relief spring. Putting a shim in a stock pump should yield similar results. Now what thickness shim has everyone used to achieve a safe bypass pressure? We...

    -6AN Turbo Supply Mod

    45deg hose end fits my setup perfectly. But will probably not play well with the stock L adapter used on PPE oil cooler bypass hose. For that setup it will likely require a 90 on thw 6AN. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    LML oil pump conversion info....

    Here is a couple pics I found of an LML pump apart. On left LML gear, notice the longer shaft. Also the pump clearance to front cover wasn't main reason we machined housing. Could have just notched the cover. After thinking we had it whipped, the LB7 cam gear we used hit pump on final...

    LML oil pump conversion info....

    We stiffened the internal spring on a stock LLY pump that I drilled squirters on some years ago. It always read 60-70 on the Autometer and ECM pressure gauge above idle. Then I saw an LML pump, there is no comparison. We decided to use LML pumps with LBZ med duty pans and front covers on the...

    -6AN Turbo Supply Mod

    Thanks Bac. They say necessity is the mother of invention. And this build has definitely been a motha... After a bunch of reading, I found no real consensus on which port or ports in the block are best. One thing is certain, I wasn't using the factory LML port... We had to build a special...

    Paint dried. A 45deg hose fitting should point it in the right direction. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Pipes are good, so I started plumbing on oiling related. These new swivel fittings are the bomb, if they don't leak. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Some more pics to enjoy. Had unfunny time with these headers. Finding studs to work took a while.. Went with a 50mm long stress relieved 10mm I found at MSC for $3.75 ea.... The holes are 26mm deep, so leaves 2-3mm off bottom. Then still had to grind down couple nuts to fit. Someone didn't...
