Getting a 04 CTS-V with a bad motor... how about a 6.2 stroked? I am getting a 2004 ctsv that has a bad motor in it next week. The car comes with a 6.2 LS3 out of a denali that had about 15k miles and I am also getting this scat rotating assay with it.

Needless to say I will not be using the pistons from the kit due to the fact they are 4.125 dia. That being said should I go with stock pistons or aftermarket? I will also be picking up a cam for it; any suggestions? The car has 1 7/8 kooks headers cats and corsa exhaust so I am set from that aspect. I have read numerous older forums about the kaytech harness's that will need to be used etc. but is there any other issues that have risen in the past year or so? When I have the engine out I will be replacing the clutch; it comes with another stock clutch, will that be fine? How many rwhp can I expect to get out of a stroked 427? I want to break 500hp is that doable with the stock heads and the mentioned parts? Oh and did I mention i have a 100 shot on the car also? This is gonna be fun.

500 WHP is possible with an LS6 or LS2 depending on what you do with it and what drivability you are looking for. You're all over teh place here...the L92 with a cam will get you what you're looking for and then some. Whatever you do, make sure your crank reluctor is compatible or you'll be up a creek.

I understand, theres alot of questions asked in a single breath I guess. The rotating assy has the 24T reluctor installed so I will not have any issues there. I was looking at the L92 earlier this morning and it seems most people are happy with that setup. Thanks for the input and sorry for the long winded post but I had alot of questions and a limited time to do it.

I don't know what's up with that!!!!! Here are the specs.....
Scat Manufacturing 1-41921BI SBC 24 Tooth LS Series 4340 Forged Street-Strip Rotating Assembly with I-Beam Rods, 4.125" Bore x 4.125" Stroke x 6.125" Rod
The block is still good but I am going to build it for a truck later down the road.
