383 ls1 or 6.0 iron block I'm in the process of building my 01 transam and i cant decide between strokin my ls1 or replacing it with 6 liter iron block any suggestions on which would be a better idea? FYI i plan on making it all forged internals and porting the stock ls1 heads and putting a healthy cam. I'm going for a quick N/A car with the option to put nitrous if i decide to.

If the 6.0 is going to stay the same except for a cam and heads then the 383 will be better but a stroked out 6.0 is better yet. More cubes what can I say you know the deal.

I'm trying to figure this one out too...so many choices, which is the right one? lol. I think I'm just going to contact a few of the sponsors and ask them about it and see how much to get it built. Good luck!

it really comes down to what u can afford. i got a 408ci iron block because it was in my budget. i looked at 427-440-454 those short blocks i could have affordad, just all the little stuff u gotta run with those motors add up. that would have but me way out budget. you cant really go wrong with any strocker u get your gonna make power

I'll give you track times. I think 10's no problem that kinda the norm, thats given a proper set up.
so I think in the 600 range at the engine 550 range at the wheels thats just a guess I like the sound of a 10 secound car better than dyno queen #'s.
