383 package with MTI S2 LS1 Heads/X1 Cam? There a local guy around here that wants to sell me an LS6 Block with JE pistons, rings, Head Gaskets, wirings, and other goodies. Hes asking $4000 for everything. Is this a fair deal?
He says my MTI S2 Heads and X1 Cam will do just fine for the 383 package.
Im wondering if thats too pricey or not. A local shop did all the machining.
What do you think? Is it a good price and will my heads/cam do the job??

Re: 383 package with MTI S2 LS1 Heads/X1 Cam? If its a stroker motor, which it should be if its a 383, then GO FOR IT! Did you see it running in the car though? is everything ok with it as far as you know?

Re: 383 package with MTI S2 LS1 Heads/X1 Cam? my bad its a 382. Theres many people that say he does awesome work but he needs money quick. Comes with many goodies including ARP Head Studs etc. Hes emailing me what exactly it has as we speak.
It is a Stroker.
Yay or Nay?

If it's actually a 383, it's more than likely a stroker motor. What kind of crank and rods are in it?
) comes with Oil Pan and Many goodies

Re: 383 package with MTI S2 LS1 Heads/X1 Cam? It is priced right. I paid $3350 for my Lunati Kit. The setup he is showing is cheaper by a few hundred. I paid $100 to have the cylinder walls cross hatched. Add the price of the block and the ARP head studs and you are around $4000. Let's put it this way, he isn't losing any money. Does it have a timing chain or oil pump?

Re: 383 package with MTI S2 LS1 Heads/X1 Cam? if the pistons are not dished with a 383 stroker you will be running very high compression which may not be pump gas friendly....check this before you plunge in...

Re: 383 package with MTI S2 LS1 Heads/X1 Cam? I just completed my Lunati 382 Stroker. And i have Stage 2 heads with simular flow numbers to MTI's stg 2's but mine have 2.02 1.57 Valves vs. 2.055 1.60 that MTI's come with. I also have a LS6 intake and a MTI X1 on a 112 LSA. Ive only put about 125 miles on it last night and im amazed!
I will have dyno number soon!
GO FOR IT!

Re: 383 package with MTI S2 LS1 Heads/X1 Cam? The X1 is gonna be too small for that motor...it's going to idle like a stock car. Heck the G5x2 is a bigger cam that is making a tad more hp on stock CID motors...I could only imagine an R1/G5x3 or so type cam would better suite the 382 motor. I know if I upped my displacement I'd be in the 236/244 type cam range for a 382 motor. My 346 idles like its got a 220/220 cam in there even though its got the X1...
The X1 is a GREAT cam, but for a bigger displacement motor I would opt for more cam...I know I'm REALLY thinking of swapping my X1 for the R1 cause the G5x2 is a similar cam and is making great numbers on stock cid motors.
