Looking great. Keep info coming and post pics and video where possible. What sort of sleeves / pistons did you use in the block?

Thanks for the comlpliments.
Pistons are J&E(I paid for wosner) ,I have no idea about the sleeves since this was done by someone else , I walked away from this guy because i was getting the feeling he was riping me off .when i inspectected the internals of the block he had build for me i found out that most of the gaskets he used were old ones
.god knows what else he did wrong and I hope the engine stays in one piece

For everyone with an 89 t or 2.7 na head always check this valve before assembly it's a smal job that can save you a lot of time and money.

I just ran a leak down test and found out that all valves are air tight and zero differnce between cylinders ,for all cylinders max 2 percent leakage on a cold engine
seems like i got a break

btw, your tub is so beautiful.... would be awesome as the ultimate street car too.
gosh, the engines are soooo f_cking exotic. don't think i'll ever have one built.
but, ohhhhhhhh, for your gorgeous tub with an LS2/LS3 and just run as a street car. blasphemy in europe, of course.

I don't think of it as blasfemy ,but my opion is that if I wanted an LS engined track car than I would just buy a corvette and start improving that for track/race use i think that would take less time and money than doing the whole conversion thing
