Default 408 which block for FI
I was looking at a Lunati 408 LS1 Stroker Kit and putting it in a New GM 6.0L Cast-Iron Block. What do u think for this set up on a FI. I wanted the sound of the deep rumble along with the sound of forced induction.

Thanks

Ray

I'm building my lunati 408 right now. I've been running the crank/rods in a 383 for the last 5yrs and had a T76GTS before and am switching to twins now. Its definitely a stout and fun setup.

We do a lot of builds using these parts, check out this Corvette with a 346 making 740 rwhp. It is used for practice on a road course twice a week that is 2.5 miles in length, meaning this engine sees more wide open throttle time in one two hour session than most engines do in a year.

I build mine with a LQ4 block: stock bore, line honed, deburred, and blueprinted.
