pontiacfreak142 Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 thanks man. its gonna be auto still. the plan for now is, im just gonna have my 4L60 rebuilt with 4L65 parts and possibly a full manual valve body, but not sure on that yet lol. i cant wait either, i weighed my car at trails and with a basically full interior, it came in at 3055 pounds. So 3055 pound car 450 hp should = fun lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 What heads and cam are you going to run? 450hp out of a medium compression 383 isn't all that easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacfreak142 Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 What heads and cam are you going to run? 450hp out of a medium compression 383 isn't all that easy. not quite sure yet. a couple guys i know have built some pretty nasty ones. im going to get ahold of them once i get the bottom end together.

Mattsv8 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 get afrs. prety much all sbc cyl heads cost the same maybe 100 dif in price. unless you plan on never spraying then the patriot heads at jegs are a good deal 800 pr complete. should get your goals with them.

2pointslow Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Like matt said... your going to need a bit more compression! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacfreak142 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 i know i prolly should, but i want this to be something that will be quick at the track, but also easily street driveable on 93 octane, so im kind of weary on going to high with the compression.

Richard Cranium Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 450 at the wheels or crank? 450 crank should not be difficult, wheels will be. If you would rather stick with fuel injection I have an LT1 block that has already been to the machine shop and is ready to go. It would need clearanced for the 383 crank and bored .030 over though. I was going to build a replacement motor for my Camaro and ended up getting a Golen 383 street strip short block instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be tempting, but im just goin carbed cause im tired of messing with computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 id say go for more. get eagle h beams with arps. good forged pistons, 11.5 at least and run on e85. that pump cheap and will be way more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Should have found a 400. Would be easier to achieve those numbers. Those two blocks look (for lack of a better word) scary. 4 bolts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 On a related note, this is my new project, hoping for 700 crank on pump: http://bigrab.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/pile-of-shit-on-the-road.jpg You're entirely mean spirited. Why would you even take the time to post something like that in this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cranium Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Check with your machine shop then on line honing. The block may need it anyhow, but I think you'll want to go 4 bolt, may as well go with splayed. But, it'll require line honing which may blow your machine shop budget. Speaking of which, just out of curiosity, what is your budget for this project? I found I could buy a short block already set up for about the same cost as doing it all myself with good parts, but that way I have no surprises and a warranty.

Cordell Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 This project thread is lame. Gary, stop talking and start doing. To the rest of you thread shitters, :gtfo: nobody does this crap in your project threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 This project thread is lame. Gary, stop talking and start doing. To the rest of you thread shitters, :gtfo: nobody does this crap in your project threads. TRUTH! That is what I LOVE about CR everybody is either Austin Coil or Michael Schumacher on the internet. My dad is going forward with his SBC swap into the old 1994 car. He will be making a bit more power but it will be more of a track car. If you need any info let me know and I can see what he has dowloaded and researched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 why dont you pay me to build you a real motor that will stay together make great power and last a while. oh splayed caps are 550 bucks on a already junk 2 bolt block. a dart shp block is 1200. you will spend more than that for the deck, alignhone, bore to .030 or .040 if need be, tq plate hone, and 550 for the splayed caps. yes 2 bolt caps will hold to 500 with arps. but why build it twice? i have the dart shp block here for my 357 in the s10. it already has 4 bolt splayed caps, safely bore to 4.185" so way thicker bores, blind head bolts, no water issues arround head gaskets, u can get pistons for a std deck height. most are made for 9.000 dh wich would require a deck on the block. u need to keep the piston .035-.040 quench to get your power number if you put a piston made for a 9.000 dh in your stock dh block then you are. .063-.067 depending on your deck. and some pistons are made 9.000 but sit .010 in the bore thats .070-.075 and very shitty power will be the result.
