haha yeah i knew that. someone can correct me if i'm wrong, but only the camaros, birds, and vettes came with aluminum heads. did you know there was a baby lt1 as well?

 

Do I get a prize if I answer right?! I'll go with,uh, Impala right? Only had 260hp not 275hp that the camaro had. That's my final answer!

 

no...caprices i know for sure had the baby lt1...it was a 4.3 litre...smaller crank i believe but slvr could probably do better than that. i know there's a guy who is planning to take a regular lt1 block and using a smaller crank and making it a 302 CI...rev it to the moon! lol

 

i hope your friend knows that he's not going to be able to make that without a large journal 283 crank (which btw, were only installed in the DZ302 from the '69 Z28). and those cranks USED are pulling $1000-$1600

the 302 is a 327/350 block with a 283 crank. that gives you a 4" bore and 3" stroke. pre 69 the 283 was a small journal crank, but so were the small blocks back then. 68 was the last year of the small journal cranks in any sbc.

 

the guy owns a machine shop and says he knows how he's going to make it work. i'm skeptical as well but its different and i like the idea

 

Damn! I was so close!! I knew it was the caprice! I knew it! Stupid! Stupid!!

 

anything is possible, especially with a machine shop on your hands

 

Alih! Where the hell have you been?!

 

so wait, he's going to ADD material to either the block or the crank??? the 283 small journal is only a 2.35" journal. the LT1 journals are 2.5". something tells me this guy has his numbers backwards, or he's smoking some really good sh*t

 

hell man i don't know..i told you i was skeptical as well...but he's insistent that he's going to make it work. when it gets done(if ever) i will get the info for ya
