Yes I agree completely on the alpha’s. I was going to go that direction with about 400hp but a bravo is near me and I just need to get it.
Hardin makes aluminum elbows and risers with dry joints.

Of course I’ll be doing the closed system. VVt is already gone but I need to tap and die and install set screws.
I agree on a big truck cam. Need torque down low, decent mid range, and high end power for when all out. So many options on cams is frustrating. Didn’t have this when I was a kid. If you can recommend one that’d be awesome.

Looking at compcams and Texas speed too.
I agree a ly6 would have been great but Trust me on island prices and availability. I was originally told it was a 6.0 but no such luck. I looked into boring it out to 6.0 but can’t be done. You could overbore it but not sure it’s worth the hassle given what a Ls cam, heads and tune will do. I’d have built a .383 stroker but this fell in my lap. I figure it will make 500+, should be plenty.
