Yes I have lead foot syndrome, it's a chronic disease..

 

Since it is my DD I can't afford it to be down for a week for an ls swap, so for now the 4.3 block I have is getting bored in the next week or two,and I'm going to be polishing and porting the heads on my free time at work I will keep updates on the build.

 

sounds good I`ll be watching

 

Got the block tore down and every push rod is either tweaked or very bent, both head gaskets had leaks, but no other damage that I could see.

 

Sorry for the delay in the updates, I have been working 50-60 hrs a week and haven't had the time to tinker. I almost have the intake ported and polished. The heads are getting worked over at a machine shop. I have picked the Cam I will be using it's a Lunati street strip kit that will give me around .450-.525 lift and a loppey idle. I am undecided on pistons. I will be putting a mpfi in place of the csfi.

 

Why in the world do you want a lopy idle?

 

It's not going to be a big lope, but enough to keep the curve at 900-6500rpm. I do track my blazer so I am going for around 300-400 hp on the build

 

How much of that is nitrous?

 

I'm going to get a 35hp safe shot.

 

It's been almost a year now. What happened? How does it run? I've always been a v8 guy but a built v6 intrigues me.
