Small Block Sophmore
Hello everyone. Nice site you have here. Im in my late twenties and I come off an Iraq combat deployment. I just built my first Small Block chevy from scratch (its 86 and earlier model GM block, got the block from GM new) I have yet to fire it but it is in the car and im just reconnecting the top side and plumbing everything with push lock hoses (oil/trany coolers, tranny filter, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator) so its alot of plmbing.
At any rate I may be coming into an LS1. A friend bought a replacment motor for his 99 STS (the LS1). And he may ask me to refresh it for him, or maybe i will just make him an offer.
So my question is there a manual thats got every schematic, diagram, torque setting, clearance etc. guess I could just order any 98-02 Firebird/Camaro GM service book (the telephone size book)
Also, Im not seeing an LS1 overhaul gasket kit anywhere. I see an LT1 gasket overhaul set for $160 from Jegs. Fel pro part number HS9966PT. but not an LS1 overhaul kit. I called too and tech said no.
Those are the two primary items ill need if i get into my first LS1 project, which seems like a very good possibility. A good service manual straight from the manufacturer, and a gasket over haul kit.
getting ahead of myself but what are some time tested, dyno proven recipes in the $500-$1000 range? cam - exuast. Money is an object. I spent alot on this first small block and am not able to repeat. but could re-fresh an LS1, and maybe throw a cam in there.
The goal would be reliable street driver with alot of balls.
Links within this site you think helpful would be good too. you know this site better than me.
Thanks in advance.
Jay
