how much would one cost for just a standard rebuild with like a .4 or .6 bore and also how much would 383 stroker kit run me, and where can i find them?

 

what? why? what happened to the ls1 idea? look at www.advancedinduction.com at their 383 rotating assemblies. otherwise look at some popular vendors for stock rebuild kits

 

thats been a while, i never bought it, cuz some **** came up. but i did buy a 6-71 blower, lol which i really dont know why... but i talked to my dad today and he wants me to keep my car, so when taxes come back im wantin to rebuild the motor, id like to do a 383 if possible, or either just a standard rebuild with some longtubes and a cam

 

now you're speaking my language! one person you can talk to is larry at speedinc...i've been talking to him a lot about my future engine build and he's really helpful...but i'll try to help you as best i can but i got some questions first

what are your goals for the car? HP? times?

nitrous or turbo power adder?

 

well im just lookin for faster than stock, im tired of racing modded mustangs and winning or loosing by a fender..i want to cream them haha. but im lookin into a 383 build or hell even a standard bore with some bolt ons, all in all id like to see close to 400 hp in the end but im in no hurry and possibly s/c her when i when the lottery lol

 

you don't need to go stroker for 400 HP...a good heads and cam package will get you there. www.elliottsportworks.com or www.advancedinduction.com. didn't you say your lt1 had a lot of miles?

 

170k thats why im looking for a rebuild

 

i figured...what i'd do is talk to a machine shop...get a quote to just do a 355 build which uses your stock crank...if it were me i'd use the stock rods as well and have them use a strong rod bolt such as ARP. then chat with them about what your goals are and plans and they can pick a piston for you. you're going to want to know what cam and heads you will be running as well. do yourself a favor and visit www.elliottsportworks.com and email lloyd and tell him your goals and everything. tell him your car engine has a lot of miles and plan a rebuild and let him run with it

 

youre learning well whammer

 

haha thanks ali! i've been reading up on it a lot. it seems to me that a lot of people overbuild their bottom ends and don't realize that the real power is made on the top half of the motor
