Forged or Bare LT1 block
Ok guys, i was wondering where i might be able to buy a forged or bare LT1 block. I am going to Ranken Tech so i talked to my teacher and he said he would help me build a block. I would like it to be forged but a bare one is fine. Thanks for the help and how much do they normally run in price.

Well there is no such thing as a forged LT1 Block, but there is forged internals. You can pick up a block bore it .30 over line hone it and get a forged rotating assembly. I just picked one up for $100 bucks full of stock internals

When your teacher said "a forged block", he was probably just saying a forged rotating assembly (a.k.a. bottom-end, internals... crank and rods). In case you're new to the more techical side of the car scene, we're really bad with the slang terms... don't hesitate to inquire. Where in St. Peters are you?

I knew what i was talking about and if you dont think Ranken tech is a good school then something is wrong with you guys. And i said i would like it to be forged meaning a block with forged interals already in it. God this site sucks no one wants to help anyone.
