I am even more in love with Clunker with those numbers. I have the LQ4 in my Sierra 1500. I put a LQ4 with a 78MM On3 turbo in a neighbors 1996 Impala SS a few years back but he changed his lifestyle and sold the car before we finished it, the engine setup is now in a '71 Chevelle up North somewhere. .

1200 HP for 1 pass maybe. =)

And thanks to everyone for their input, All the parts that are listed on the OP are now on their way to the house and I can't wait to post up some final numbers in a couple weeks. All my buddies boats are now coming out of hibernation, I hope to be completed before April 15th.

That's pretty much in the range of 950 at the crank! Nice! Care to share the set-up?

And yes, I generally take what Hot Rod mag says with a grain of salt... those west coast dynos sure put out some numbers! With that said, I've seen some guys make ridiculous power on the stock components. For what I want to do it won't take much. The biggest challenge will be with the suspension. It's marginal now... works... but can be stupid scary!

You're fine brother, although your dyno numbers may shadow my numbers when the engine is complete. LOL no worries. The rest of my parts are scheduled to arrive today. I hope to be on the dyno in 3 weeks. If anyone has any tips or tricks that I need to definitely pay attention to during reassembly, it would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to miss any boating time due to negligence during reassembly.

Make sure you post some dyno vids! I'm in big block withdrawal.

Will do, I am hoping I don't misplace anything during our move next week that is going to set me back. We close on our first home on Monday. Fun stuff.

Block, Crank, and Heads will be done at the end of this week. Then time for reassembly. We were supposed to close on the new house today but that got moved until tomorrow. That being said, I am headed out of the house as I type this to go to Delaware to pick up a 1988 Stingray Maxim 222SS for my cousin. Hopefully it is as clean as the guy says. I will post pictures of the machine work when I get the parts.

Well, everything is back from the machine shop but the Diamond Pistons turned out to be slightly damaged once we got them cleaned up, I am going with SRP-212135 Pistons for the build now..

Just to provide an update, behind schedule due to the rainy weather we've been seeing here in Maryland but I made some progress on the build nonetheless. The plan now is to rig it back into the engine bay on Tuesday Evening, mount/service the outdrive on Wednesday and water test on Thursday. The boat races in Cambridge, MD are this weekend so I am cutting it a bit close. I was able to clean up the engine bay wiring and routing over the weekend to eliminate a lot of subpar work that previous owners did. Here is a couple pictures of the new engine before the accessories and everything were mounted. I have a couple bolts to pick up this evening and then mount a few more things and she will be ready for Tuesday. I am anxious to say the least as everything is coming together. I am hoping for a successful commissioning and years of reliable fun with this setup. I will post some results and more pictures this weekend. If anyone happens to know belt P/N's off the cuff, let me know. I left the old belts at home this morning and was planning on picking them up today. I am running a crossover so its not the standard P/N.

Mr Maine, what is the reasoning of advancing it 2 more degrees? I do have the adjustable timing set for this build and already installed it at 0 on the gear. Should I take it back apart and move it up to 2* Advanced?
