Default Texas speed ls1 370ci

Whos running these, when they show up at your door what do you have to do to the engine? i was planning on running some ported 5.3 heads and the new tick performance polluter cam with this setup! Just throw in your opinions! How much power would this make roughly, i threw a rod in my car and spun a bearing!

If and When it gets to your door the first thing you'll prolly do is drool...lol
But seriously you'll need to install your oil pump pick up and windage tray, oil pan, cam, heads, intake....etc. Not a huge deal...just take your time and have fun with it.
Im not usually one to guess...but ill just throw out there 450/425.....who knows

You use all your old stuff on the new engine to save money. You could re-use your OP as well if you take it apart and clean it out. No need to spend money if you dont have to.
We set people up with 370's and 408's all the time. It not a big deal. If you have any questions pm me and I'll help you out.

Shoot me your email and name and I'll get you an estimate that shows everything our short-blocks come with. There are parts that you can transfer to the new motor from the old to save money.

Every engine we sell will have all coolant plugs, oil restrictor, and galley plug installed prior to shipping. The short-block will be the rotating assembly in the block only. You will need to move your oil pump over (or buy a new one) along with all bottom-end components like the windage tray, pick-up tube, ect. to install the pan. Up top, again you can move your lifters over or install new ones along with your lifter trays. Everything from there can be brought over to the new engine. All block dimensions and specs are the same so your heads and cam combo will bolt on without issues. Let me know what you are looking at going with and I will be happy to get you taken care of on this engine. Feel free to give me a call or shoot me a PM with any questions!

Thanks!
Jon
