383 Ls1
Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a camaro with a 383 LS1 in it. Its really set up for the street, so I was wondering how many miles you think that the motor could take before it needs a rebuild- just strictly street driving with only a couple passes and not a lot of abuse at all. The motor was completely gone through and built. Also, how much hotter do you think that it will run as compared to stock (with stock water pump)???

USUALLY LS1 strokers are like 382's.

Wait wait so you can make an ls1 a 382 without boring it over just by poping the oilpan out and swaping crankshafts? Im kind of a newb but if thats all it takes im game for that.
