[Weight comparison]

i never weighted my t56 but i could pick it up with out to much trouble and im 170lbs. Is your weight figure with the fly wheel, clutch, fluids, and bell housing?

good deal

 

FYI when you are bolting down the rockers. The 15-18lbs that is says you need to tighten the rockers is wrong. You need do it buy feel. Tighten the rockers tell you feel them stop. NOT untell you cant turn the bolt more but untell you feel the rocker seat in the rocker tray. This is the proper way to do it so you dont have to open up them damn valve covers and do it all over again.

 

P.S. if any one needs some help in the dfw area with there ls1 let me know or pm me.

Scott i am no L motor guy but I have been spinning wrenches on the ls1's and LSX based motors for 6 years. I can for see 1 problem have and can fix easy.

 

Those Z06 springs are junk and are at max lift at .565-.575 depending on what year spring you have. The comp cam xr275hr is a 222/224 .566/.568 112lsa and i know they recommend 918 springs witch have a max lift of .600. I know form my ls1 that the 918's can take a beating. I had a 228/228 .588/.588 114lsa cam in my car and the 918's on the cam had 40k on them and still i did not see any valve float.
