New project
Im looking to get a 383 ls engine and didnt know what would I be looking at price wise? I called a very reputable performance shop and they quoted me $3,499 for a short block and I could choose my choice of high or low compression and some other things. Any help would be welcome cuz I'm gonna use this to further my automotive knowledge and build a beast engine in the process.
|
thats about right if they supply the block and the parts are high quality.
|
Ok thank you. Also if I decided to get a 350 ls would you think it would cost more to machine it and sell the short block parts that won't fit and replace them with correct parts. Like pistons ect.
|
the ls is a completely different motor. im not sure any parts would be interchangeable.
|
But isnt the 383 just a milled 350? Someone was selling an ls6 383 ci. block. I was guessing ls6's were either that way or it was milled
|
yes it is stroked in the same manor as a 350 or lt1. thing is almost all the bolt patterns are different, head shape and design are different and cid is different than the 350 or lt1.
|
so basicaly what i see is that it would be easier to get an ls 383 and get parts for that than buy a 350 part it out and mill it and buy new parts for it.
just fyi this is not all happening all right now im gettin my list together on what i will be needing and getting into before i just go and buy an engine and tranny. |
if you are planning on replacing the lt1 in your 95 you will need more than a motor and trany. as i said the ls is a completely different motor. you will need a donor car.
|
My car is a 3.4. I understand that more than a complete engine and tranny will be needed. Like a new comp, k-member, fuel pump, most likely interior gauges and even possibly custom wiring but I understand what will need to be done cuz a few other people i met have done the swap.
But mainly I'm trying to stick with ls not lt engine for this |
ahhh ok now i understand. yah if your gona change all the stuff anyways its a good idea to go with the more advanced motor and systems. so what you need to find is a wrecked ls car with a 383 motor. dk had a great setup that he sold not to long ago, that would have been a good one.
