Randeez 2012 Budget Yukon Denali Build (stick on hood scoops galore)

[Rocket Man]

New water pump-had mine off thought was fine but one day went to spin it for whatever reason and it would hardly spin. New starter and bolts, old one busted when it went boom. Some 6an ptfe hose and fittings- may redo trans cooler lines, heard some horror stories and may need a little for stock fuel lines (may redo also)

What brand starter did you go with? I’ve been thinking about replacing my original on my 02 because it’s been in for 165k but I see 2 AC Delco remans , one is OE but twice as expensive as the other at $200. Then there’s an AC Delco Professional brand new for $130.

Acdelco 337-1200
Is what I ended up with

I think Ill end up getting the reman OE for mine. It’s about $200 but I figure if the original lasted this long then all I need is a refreshed one to make it another 175k.

Am leaving out of town tonight so not much doing this weekend, also grabbed some crap I dropped off to get some bungholes welded in. Now sure if I can even use stock valve covers but whatever put 10an on them for pcv and opened up baffle inside...he did an alright job I guess

got it out of crate (they send on engine legs already but need on stand to rotate)
wanted to atleast close it up and bag it for the weekend.
they didnt send the windage tray so the oil pan is just on there hand tight, need to pull to it it on, the pickup tube, etc.

diamond pistons, carillo rods, callies crank, heads are frankenstein "cheaper" heads basically cast over seas- cnc'd and assembled here for LS3 intakes. cam motion cam. 427 cubes

and its a dart ls-next block, kind of important

 

[Rocket Man]

Holy shit.

 

[randeez]

Holy shit.

bro, i say the same shit...i just pretend i have amnesia when someone asks me what it cost. as we speak im honestly still on the fence about buying an actual race car (roller) and dropping this and the 4l80 into and just buying a junkyard engine for the denali

 

[Rocket Man]

I hear you. I’m not sure how long before I racked up too many tickets to stay insured if I had that motor in mine. Mines just a blown and cammed 6.0 and even though I went for 15 years without a ticket, I just got 2 speeding tickets and one was for 30 over the 60 mph limit screaming past an unmarked Tahoe. Luckily both won’t appear on my driving record due to fortunate circumstances but now I’m basically on probation in 2 states lmao.

 

[randeez]

i have resorted to hiring "ticketclinic" and challenging every ticket i receive no matter how guilty I am. Worst case has just been court cost and in person defensive driving class

 

[swathdiver]

That'll be cool in the Denali and then maybe you could put that into an old G-Body for more speed. 550-600 horses naturally aspirated?

 

[randeez]

its hard to go back to NA stuff after a boost unless it rev's to like 10k rpm

 

[randeez]

Not sure how I feel about regulator mounted here. I want to feed both rails with a wye before them ( had in one side back, crossover in front, out other back to regulator)

 

[pwtr02ss]

Damn. Thats a solid build right there
