Default Just bought a Corvette block!
So i just bought a corvette block, thinking about making it 355 any suggestions on internals..I've already decide on the top end being a LE2 Heads with the 1.5 cam. Just looking too make a decent amout of power with still passing emissons. Like i said any suggestions would help.

I just really wanna stick with the 355 too expensive of a route too go 383 any suggestions on the prep of the block, Im willing too spend the money there and on the internals. Im thinking of either scat or eagle what do you guys think?

Yeah and a good 383 kit usually doesn't cost much over a 355 rotating assembly.

the difference in price for a 355 vs 383 is in the machine work to clearance the block for the longer stroke.

Yeah but most of it is on the oil pan rail and any idiot should be able to do that. ****The use of the word idiot is in no way saying that anyone in this post is an idiot**** Gotta be PC!
