Any sponsors that do machine work!!!
Any sponsors that do machine work!!! My local shop is asking alot to do the work and I want to know what a going rate for machine work on a LM7 iron block would cost with assembly to a 383!!
Let me know too... I have a block that needs honed for some forged pistons and I dont know where to take it! I live in Reston, VA so I'm not too far off.
I also have a stock crank that need balanced...

I just talked to a guy in Houston Texas named Bryan. He's from LME, now check this out...I went to CNC here in manassas, they quoted me $3,000 bucks to machine and assemble, outa there F*&#@ng mind. So bryan said they will do the machining and assembly for $850.00 
Talk about a deal!! When he calls me back I can talk to him for you and get you his info if you'd like!?

Sure, post it up... but seeing that you're from VA, I would think you might want something a little closer? Not sure how dead-on you are about using a sponsor, but a friend of mine races circle track cars and he uses a place in West Virginia for all his engine work... might be a little closer.

plus I dont know how good the other guy is but a sponser from LS1tech, I'd trust will do it correctly since they have a repitation to keep!! Just my .02 cents though

If your doing a iron block and 383 cubic inches tell me about your built?
You using a offset stock crank?
A 4" crank get you 402 cubic inches and with some machine work 408/410/414 cube's.
I am sure you know this so what setup are you doing?

And it will be at 8.3:1 it comes stock a little over 9 now

So your gunna use a 225 DP and a Turbo? Not a very good idea. If it's strictly turbo, then it should work great!

I didn't say it wouldn't work, but, dual power adders always tend to have more problems. Once your motor is tuned for the turbo, then you have the No2, which isn't on all the time, that will effect the tune as well. Hopefully you've researched and found a good tuner and all will be ok.
