2007 Yukon Denali Build (This got outta hand really quick...)

[Tonyrodz]

Your absolutely right on the longevity part, that's why I went iron. I don't want to be rebuilding this again because the bore distortion and oil consumption.

I picked Gen III because I had a friend with one sitting around and it doesn't have any of the DOD/AFM provisions that I don't want anyway. Everything is backwards compatible and I even deleted the rear cam sensor and used a Gen IV front cover. Only difference is the knock sensor locations which isn't a big deal. I deleted the valley knock sensors and will be using Gen IV ones in the side of the block. No wiring has to change at all...

This will certainly get ran down the track this summer but it's a street truck 100%. I plan to tune on a dyno this time so I'll have some numbers from that as well... Expect a mid to high 11 qtr or so? My brother just bought a new Audi RS5 so my goal is to beat his $85k car to 60 (3.7sec) and 12sec qtr. Shouldn't be a problem lol

I'd love to see the dyno vid. Man, I wish you were my neighbor!, Pure awesomeness.

Laid down some paint today and installed the ATI 5% overdrive damper... Coming along, I would have had it all together today but the oil pan still needed to be jet washed. New motor mounts will be in tonight and motor will be back in the truck tomorrow.

For my truck, whose racing weight is 6,300 pounds, in order to run 112 mph through the traps, the motor would have to produce 684 rear wheel horsepower. That would be around 12.0s with a good launch. You should have no problem taking down that Audi! What's its racing weight?

Engine, Transmission and Transfer case already back in the truck... Headers installed, just need to finish porting the blower, fuel system upgrade (walbro 450), front accessory drive and tuning.

I'm not sure what I'm more jealous of, the truck or the shop.

Your right about that. I have two cars in that garage, it belongs to my friend Tim. He built the whole thing, including his house. The two boats in the background and the Blue Chevelle are his as well. As big as it is, it's not enough space. We are thinking about building another shop on his property and I'll buy a 5 axis CNC and get back into porting heads and billet blocks. Possibilities are endless...

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted an update... A lot has happened the last 2 months on this truck. Domino affect as many of you know lol. It all started with a simple front differential rebuild and a short block swap but I took things a little further than I originally planned because of a few issues along the way.

Heres a few pics, some might be out of order but I'll try to caption along the way.

Blower porting:

Snout - It's amazing how much material can be removed from these things. Easily took a few pounds of aluminum out of this thing. Opened it up for my 102mm NW TB and welded on an O Ring flange...
