First LS build
I have a 2011 Camaro 2SS with a TR6060 manual that I am swapping the cracked LS3 for a ATK 408ci Stroker LS (gen 4 6.0 originally) and I will be using the LS3 heads, oil pan & Intake manifold. i’m not sure what adjustments i’ll need to make for fitment of the alternator or if i need brackets so if anyone has done this swap before and knows that would be greatly appreciated.
these are the specs and parts I’ve picked so far, let me know if there’s any recommended changes I can make.
Short block : ATK 408ci Stroker LS -4cc flat top pistons
Cam: GPI custom grind
Heads: Stock LS3 heads with .040 head gasket
Rockers: BTR with BTR v2 Trunnions
Lifters: Chevrolet performance
pushrods: waiting on cam & engine to arrive to measure

Tune: GPI remote tune with HP tuner

According to what i’ve seen, it should be around 11.5:1 compression. the goal is around 550whp NA on 93 and 580ish on E85. Is there anything else I might need to consider?
