Get the Samberg front Kmember swap kit. All others are junk. LS1/2/3/7/9 all use the same mounting style and dimensionally are the same for the most part.

A stock LS3 shortblock with a turbo cam, stock heads, stock intake, bigger injectors (and a turbo) can make 900hp without breaking a sweat. If you need a T56 Magnum, clutch, even LS3 block/heads etc email me.

My username at hotmail dot com

I'm making around 1400hp on a stock T56 Magnum. I even did that on a stock $100 cast crankshaft inside an LS9 block, $700 Compstar rods, $800 pistons, stock LS3 intake, and very nice MAST LS3 heads. Treadstone $400 intercooler is all I run. Car runs low 9's launching with zero boost and not powershifting. Lots left in it. 8's this summer and 20mpg+ highway. Drive it anywhere.
