Re: I Sliped a rod and need advise Whats your long term goals for the car. If it were me, Id say forge it out bring the compression up to 11:1 LS6 heads and something like a TR230 or a 230/230. 450RWHP easily

Re: I Sliped a rod and need advise If your block is still good, do a forged 347ci and do some good S2 heads, big cam. If you want to spend the money you can do a 383ci with your existing block and heads/cam. Or you can build up a cast iron block into a 408ci engine with S3 heads and a really big camshaft!
