Re: My New Time Attack Car Build Thread
I haven't got mine yet. Hopefully tonight if everything works out. I just kept checking the local classifieds and ebay. Your best bet is believe it or not craigslist. There are some good deals on there if you look deep enough.

Re: My New Time Attack Car Build Thread
My main focus right now is getting the car running with an LS1 in the car and then I have to find a jerico trans. If I can't find a jerico soon I will be using a Tremec T5 with a 9110 Mainshaft, straight cut gears and dog engagement.
The trans will be the only thing you hear when the car is coming towards you

A bone stock LS1 will make 300-310 rwhp. So w/ a 224/224 cam and some good exhaust you'll be 360-370 for cheap. I'd go w/ a LS4 or ported LS6 oil pump. For the chain you don't need the complexity etc. of a double-roller. Just get the OEM LS2 chain... it's $30ish bucks and is much beefier than the LS6 chain I took out of my car.
You can buy a "cam kit" from many places... this typically includes the cam, springs, pushrods, etc. They can also include the oil pump and timing chain etc. As for gaskets... OEM all the way. GM makes great stuff. Scoggins-Dickey sells a cam install kit which has all the gaskets etc. that you'll need and a new crank bolt.
I buy my OEM parts from them or GMpartshouse.com. I got my cam kit from LGM. FYI when working on these cars follow LS1howto.com very very closely when it comes to replacing the front main seal, installing the front cover, instalilng the pulley, and most importantly torqing it to spec. Done wrong and you'll have a leaking front main and a pulley that wants to back off.
