Greetings My GT40 Friends,
My name is Perry
I am new to the GT40 community and have been just following threads for a while. There are a lot of great personalities on this forum from reading posts and am happy to join and contribute in any way I can.
I will be going to Fran's shop at RCR very soon to have a chat about his 962.
Here are the goodies for my 962 project "DPE 962X" and I've decided to share this builds detailed assembly with hi res pics for all to see and enjoy. It's not often you see a $80K LS7 Twin Turbo motor in parts alone being built.
It will be a while before I get the 962 kit so I will start the engine machining and assembly process to pass the time.
Can't reveal all my little secrets on this build but I will share a lot.
I hope you all enjoy this adventure !!!
The premium components used on this build will be the strongest lightest available and will make this motor RELIABLY spin to 8500rpm's while able to hold in excess of 30psi of boost without lifting the heads. Life expectancy of the motor at 1000rwhp + with the proper tune will be 100k+ miles before needing to be re-built.
Although Pricey, The Billet blocks are the strongest 6 bolt head LS platform available for extreme HP while retaining the weight benefits of aluminum. I will show you why when as I assemble the motor.
You need the right chassis to harness it's power potential of 2500HP+ .
I will not go near that HP level for a street car .
There will be extensive drive trane mods harness the 1500HP it will have .
A racing Traction control system will be in place to keep it in check. It will give the driver some added protection with the power to smoke the tires past 140mph.
I am starting out with pics of the heads and valves chosen for this build as they were the first to arrive. I will add to this post as I have time. It will be slow..
Explanations and comments will be posted above the pics
Enjoy
Perry

ALL PRO LSW 6 bolt LS7 heads
Titanium Intake valves with SS exhaust
Intake port
Intake port
The Diamond coating on the Intake valves is key to longevity and street abuse. I'ts a must for any Titanium valve used for FI use if you want your 8 Intake valves at $1000.00 to last
Combustion Chambers
