im wodering what camaros came with. a long block or short, maybe dum question but i need to know, my car is a 98 z28

 

I'm pretty sure all '98's came with long blocks, but I could be wrong
Not sure if anyone here will be able to answer that question for you, but I bet if you go to www.ls1.com someone there "may" know

Let us know when you find out as I'm sure there are some folks here who'd also like to know

 

if theres any one that know let me know thnx, im planning on gettin a 427 based on the gm 6.0 block but its a short block would it make a difference if i get it and i currently have a long block?

 

Only if you were'nt gonna run it with heads. If it were me, I'd go w/the shortblock. Less weight you know

 

You should search for the difference between a long block and a short block first

 

Im not laughing at the question, everyone someday asks questions we dont know answers to...

But the answers in here.... (SLowETz)

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !


But Id run the long block, I hear girls are into them more...

 

What?

 

lmao u guys are just wrong

 

as we speak im lookin for the answer still no look!

 

Oh Lord.








*subscribing*

 

i'll put my money on a long block...

and your talking about a 427.......my advice is GO CRAZY with the search button, and hope to hear from you in a few weeks...

you have a lot to learn.....as we all once did ( i still do)

 

this **** is funny as hell.....

 

im buying the 427 block and having my shop install if for me.

 

Excellent choice!

 

well, i never intended for myself to do the job, but i did intend on buyin all the parts, and thats why im asking if a short block 427 will fit in place

 

Man, I'm laughing my *** off right now. You guys are just mean as hell!

 

dont go with long blocks .. definitely you will have clearance issues .. stock blocks are LONGBLOCKS from factory and they are 346 not 427 .. u can imagine a long block plus extra cubes it will definitely hit every street hump .. short block all the way
P.S u cant lower ur car with the nasty longs

 

We're still not on the right page

Yeah.... I was hoping you weren't going to say you were doing the work

Listen.... before you do this, it would GREATLY benifit you to take some time and do some real research. Hate to see your shop do you wrong thinking you won't know better.

Shortblock = block, pistons, rods, wrist pins, crank/reluctor, main caps/studs, bearings, oil pump, cam, timing chain/gears, and in some cases, the oilpan, front/rear covers all of which are assembled by(usually)a competent engine builder.

Longblock = all of the above PLUS heads w/valves, retainers, springs, guides, push rods, rocker arms.

Please do some research before venturing any further.

This endever WILL be expensive.

Good luck!

*EDIT* Sorry guys.... just couldn't keep it up and sleep tonight.

 

i know factory blocks are 346, but im buyin a bored out short block, will my current pcm control the short 427?

 

Things that make you go Hhhmmmmmm..........

Dude..... your not ready to even think about the pcm. Short answer: YES & NO

Search "LONGBLOCK" pleeeaze
