Which engine would you use to start a engine rebuild from a core long block.
I plan on spraying it hard and iron block sounds fine but which block is best LQ9? or does it not matter. Or would it be best to buy one from a spondsor on here? Thanks

makes lot more sense to get engine that comes alredy with stout parts, if u plan on hitting it with a large dose of n20 or turn som rpm. alot of sponsors here carry some capable engines

u might as well get away with as many ci as possible, a 427 is better than a 408. click link in my sig,
engines built with callies crank and rods. callies quality is top of the line

well what are you looking to get outa it? and whats your budget? if u already have an ls1 then you can a 408 and reuse some parts. we need to know a lot more info

I have 02 ls1 from my trans am ws6, full boltons, buget is limited, but I think about 6,000.00 maybe more. I can rework the heads I have but they are 241's. I need it to be very streetable. The car is a A4,3600 stall,3.73's. TA,LCA,SB,sub frame connectors. I sell n20 so getting nitrous is easy for me and I love it. does this help?

Just do a forged bottom end. It can handle plenty of n2o. then you can probably squeeze in some good heads and a nice custom cam, maybe maybe even get away with a direct port system.
