BKC2006

I just purchased a 2000 Camaro SS. It has stock LS1 motor with T-56. Im familiar with these cars I have owned 3 LS1 Cars and 2 LT1 Cars. The motor in the car I just bought is Knocking in the bottom end and has no oil pressure. This car is gonna be my daily driver. Should I rebuild it and stroke it or should I buy a used engine and slap a small cam in it. I just want to be able to drive it anywhere with a little more Horse Power then stock. I talked to a local shop and they told me to buy the used engine and put a small cam in it and have the stock heads ported and polished. I need some other opions please help!! thanks

Your budget will decide this. How much coin you wanna drop?????

well if you know anything about skateboards...your question is the equivelant to asking whats better? a zero or a birdhouse?.....get what i mean?...both great options, i dont think ones better than the other, just depends what you want to do. thats just my opinion.

I wanna spend about 4000 but keep it a daily driver. I was quoted 2 grand for a motor with 70k and 2300 to have stock heads ported and a trick flow cam 222-224 lift new oil pump,timing chain,gaskets,pushrods..is that a fair price?

2300 for just those parts and the head porting? if thts so y dont u check texas-speed.

For a true DD I'd slap in a used motor and save a build for a toy. But it sounds like this DD is gonna be both... therefore i'd rebuild and stroke it with a new rotating assembly. the top end could be enhanced later.

Jesus man, do you work for Trick Flow's advertising department or what? I think 95% of your posts are about Twisted Wedge heads.
