Took about 12 hours of wrench time, not hard, but pretty time consuming. I went with a set of Livernois stage 3 243's milled to 11.2:1, 2.02/1.6 manley SS valves, Manley Nextek spring and Ti retainers, the whole deal. A custom grind EPS/LXL lobe 230/230 .598 .605 111+2 cam and a set of TFS 7.350 pushrods. I'm expecting 470rw with minimal low end tq loss while being a mid range screamer and pulling solid to 6,800 rpm! All in a 3,060lb car [Smile] . Ford only but riders, let's hear it....


Replacing valve seals and cleaning the heads
 -

Intake port

Getting it apart

Sounds good. Car looks clean!!

What did all the parts cost if you don't mind me asking. I am always curious with the corvette tax.

The C5Z is the best bang for your buck performance car on the planet. If I could afford to crash a corvette race car I would definitely be racing one instead of a fox. That thing will haul the mail and the motors are pretty much bullet proof.

Only thing I bought used were the heads. $1100, brand new from livernois they're $1800. I think I'm into it all about $2200 with gaskets, hardware, injectors (Bosch 36's (42's)). Just to be clear these are the OEM casting head that came on the car but livernoise has CNC'd them and did the valves ect, they flow over 300cfm on the intake @ .600", with excellent low/mid lift flow. I kept the intake exhaust split on the cam to a minimum to increase velocity and keep it peppy for the street.
