You should get a kong/harrop 2650 lsa base then use stock zl1 lid. Put the lsa cover in it and it looks stock if you don’t know what to look for.

I tried to get discount tire to use the stupid colored dots on the side of the tires to properly balance my tires on the vette.
Went to them since they have the hunter roadforce units.
thin spoke wheels with gigantic brakes, I didn't want a stack of weights.
I even gave them instructions on what the dots mean, and how to use em.
Did the follow the instructions?
Nope!
Tried a dealership before that set of tires, and the counter guy talked to me like I was a pos.
I told his boss to get him some coffee on my way to the service bay.
Later I received the Most reluctant apology ever from the guy.
gritting teeth and all.
I will note that the GM tech did a pretty good job, except for the last tire.
But i think he got some help.

If you want to go for it. I’m definitely saying you don’t have to spin the balls out of the 2650 put the largest pulley on and turn it less for less heat. I’ve already seen how hot the lsa can get last night in 60 degree weather.

LSA engine
The 6.2-liter V8 Supercharged LSA is an engine that was produced by General Motors for use in high-performance vehicles. The LSA is part of GM's fourth-generation V8 Small Block engine family, though unlike its LS9 counterpart, it is not assembled by hand, and was instead made at GM's Silao facilities in Mexico.

My block from summit still shows a shipping status of "Ready to go"
Pending pickup from the carrier.
Estimated delivery date of today.
gg summit.
Edit, nm figured out how to track it on the carriers site.
Shows it arrived in town on the 24th, but not scheduled for delivery until next week.
Lame!!
And it's listed @ 311 lbs if anyone was wondering the weight of a bare block Iron LS engine

Painted my GN block red--just cuz.
I vote silver. It would help brighten things up in there for future engine bay work and maintenance. My last Suburban I had I painted the entire undercarriage silver. Made a huge difference. Actually made it more pleasant to climb under there to fix shit. Looked good too.
Paint it. That’s all.

And i tossed my rockers into the sonic cleaner loaded with mineral spirts and a magnet at the bottom.
So yeah, i got some metal in those rockers...
doing my best to flush the bearings out.
I really don't want to spend another $150 doing it all over again.
I got my brand new cloydes timing chain in there now...

I was hoping to see my new block today, it's going to be a nice weekend in the 60's apparently.
Perfect to degrease the new block and apply some new paint.
But now it looks like if I'm lucky, next weekend will be nice.
Oh well, i can't order pistons and stuff till next month/weekend anyways.
Then I need to verify where the top of the piston sits at tdc, then off to the machine shop for a balance and crap.
