Second off, the engine is built to handle 450hp with the use of forced induction, I have a M62 and most related parts sitting in my shed wasting away, I also have a CT26 off a MKIII Supra with less than 1k miles since it's rebuild. I had a spun bearing and a broken camgear keyway along with 2 bad lifters so I took it to Moffit's, they quoted me $2k on a stock rebuild, we got talking about upgrades and I told them of my future plans and we decided a build was the best way to go. I had to borrow the $3k and am still paying it off hence why no f.i. yet. I have also been putting my money towards my 88 RX7 and my 91 D21 since parts are cheaper and more available.
Also lsj and l61 blocks are quite similar, as long as you do all LSJ bottom end, you can throw it right in an L61 block, same goes for headwork, exhaust valves and springs are different, cams are same measurements except LSJ has a keyway on one for external dizzy's. Any more ignorance?

If you read the GM build book the hex way in the LSJ cam was for the option of an external distributor(on a built engine). I am quite aware of how the LSJ and L61 are similar and different, furthermore I am auto and have a rebuilt tq converter(28xx stall instead of stock 22xx) designed(redrilled) to bolt to the LSJ crank. You know a good bit, I will give you that, but you should drop the elitist attitude. No wonder most people who were here when I signed up left because of know it alls like you.

Lol maybe you should clarify more when you first posted so "no it alls like me" know your build is legit and not some random bullshit some ricer boy blurted out to sound cool.

So I supercharged my car. Here are the pictures. There aren't as many as I would have liked to have, but its kind of hard to drop what you're doing to take pictures...especially when you're trying to meet a deadline with a tuner haha (which I was 3 hours late for...which wasn't too bad considering the amount of work this entailed)
My coworker who was helping me made these sick option b tank brackets (bought the tank for $3 at a local pick n pull haha)
**It looks close to the motor but we adjusted it later on so its ok**
It has a face again!
Summers back on. After tuning and a wash too. Can't believe I thought about getting rid of this car haha
Such a difference in power. First WOT pull for tuning I had a huge smile glued to my face hahaha

It's pretty much done.I don't care to do any more to it. I have useable power letting me pull on 12 second cars and it looks decent.now I'm Just gonna drive it until I get a new platform.
