The Ricer twins live next door and the build Nissan 240's. Lots of drift cars, turbos,hauler trucks,trailers, 16 motorcycles,Pit Bulls and fire pits going on daily..
The Big Sikh just picked up a Gen III LS 4.8 out of a 1999 pick up truck for 150.00 with 60k on the block and a 4 angle valve job on the heads. The heads are "862" and he wants me to port them for him. I find out these heads are considered just OK to work on and have "small" chamber CC's and 200CC "cathedral" intake runners with 1.9" valves stock.:shocked:
I look online and porting is easy because the ports are HUGE and only need work from the bend to the bowl and even the big CNC boys barely touch the runner walls unless going BIG on one of the other 9 types of LS heads.
At what point is your braking point? This little junk 4.8 GEN III for 150.00 all day long across the USA just needs 1 cheap cam to make Ford Coyote power. Holley now has all the swap parts including headers,PCM,harness and cable type conversions for the throttle. This type of swap has been going on for years but it is getting really cheap, easy, and fast to go to the dark side...
