The plan is to build a new block because i recently cracked a piston on my
02 Z28. I want to buy an already assembled 347 short block that is setup for my STS Turbo kit. Im new to this so im not sure what I exactly need. Im thinking lq9 heads and a Z06 cam. What else will I need to build a strong motor, I want to do this just once so I could use advice on what I need and a shop I can get a good price for a Block thats assembled. Also what commpression should I have it set for. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

well if youre already getting the shortblock assembled and you have a choice of heads and cam,besides valvetrain theres not much else.If you wanted to know what specifically in a shortblock to get id do a stock crank,Callies rods and eithe Diamond or Weiseco dished pistons

I only ran 5 1/2 lbs of boost. My buddy tuned it for me without a wideband and he thought he riched it out plentty, but obviously didn't, cracked cyliner 7

The Z06 cam is fine. I wouldn't limit yourself by going with a large CC head.

I'm also in the market too...I'm going with a 6.0 block though...I'm shooting for 850rwhp and want to drive it often...

How much money are you trying to spend, and what are your performance goals? Are you looking for forged rods and pistons, or are you trying to use a stock internal shortblock and get the compression down the a set of heads?

I second the Z06 but if you want the most out of your setup look into the MTI Stealth II cam or the Lingenfelther GT7 both will give you a little more than the Z06. I actually bought both cams and I like the GT7 the best. I also went with LQ9 heads, my compression is around 8.7, let me know if I can answer any questions for you I just rebuilt mine about a month ago and did more research then I really wanted to.
