Ralph Torres Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 I built the rear of the block . I also added the exhaust ports to the heads..
Ralph Torres Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 Finally was able to put the new motor in Resin.. pretty pleased with it.. i started playing with a Jessel belt drive.. not done yet though..
SWAGON Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Outstanding work!!! As a huge LS fan, I am very impressed with the twin turbo Camaro. I have an LSx 427 powered 99 BMW E39 5 series station wagon Edited February 7, 2016 by SWAGON
Ralph Torres Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 Wow that looks like it came from the factory.. nice job..
Ralph Torres Posted December 21, 2017 Author Posted December 21, 2017 Now no one think ive stopped on these builds. Things have gotten better with 3D printed parts and with help from friends i have updated my RS grill...car is painted now and almost done. Sneak peak.. updating the LS and other parts.

Ralph Torres Posted December 25, 2017 Author Posted December 25, 2017 This is the new powerplant for the touring car. Its a very accurate printed LS motor from Model Behavior.. its a little farther along now but i thought id share. My scratch built LS is being moved to another project. I felt this suited the car better...
