FI stock motor build ??? i recently blew a whole in one of my pistons so im almost done pulling the motor. Coming out of my c5 vette. i know i want to build a bottom end that will be great for a centi supercharger, (not sure which one yet tho) i think i wanna stay around 550-600hp.
I plan on getting a stock rebuild. may need to be bored but most likely just honed. i want to go with all new bearings, oil pump, and lifters. I also want to through in some forged pistons and rods. from what im hearing from you guys, the stock crank should work within that power range. I am also considering using stock timing chain since my motor only has 54k miles. not sure if thats a good idea or not. i will be reusing my TEA ported 243s and maybe a whiplash cam from englandgreen. ((undecided yet on cam))
what you guys think. anything i need to change or plan for????

Change the following because it's cheap insurance-
Pushrods= I run Manton .091 wall, Love them.
Timing Chain= Katech in my opinion makes the best single chain LSx TC and has the LeMans wins to prove it.
Either do a trunion upgrade to your stock rockers or get new roller rockers. Lots of choices out there, I went with Scorpions easy to install and NO ISSUES!
Get an SFI cert FlexPlate/Flywheel and Harmonic balancer.
Get full Dyno tune, mailorder WILL NOT DO!
See you at the track!
