I have a ls3 block std bore i was told by a machinist here i needed the following for my build. Eagle 4.10 crank, 6.125 eagle rods, and 4.070 forged pistons. Is this correct and a good combo??? Im looking at prc stg 2.5 6.0L heads milled to 69cc trying to get 600hp is this possible with this combo? Thanks

Don't waste money on eagle!! I would stay at a 4.000 crankshaft in the block. Better overall reliability. That'll put you at a 416 ci.......

Again the 4.10 crank starts to really pull the piston out the bottom of the bore.....

As far as your goal as 600 horses.....
I would read this article.....

What brand would you use? Scat or something else... I see that they made great numbers i was thinking of getting the prc stg 2.5 ls3 heads

Tuskyz28

scat over eagle. K1 over scat. Callies over all of them with wiseco pistons...

Might have to shoot me a PM about the other part....

IMHO if you are going with a 4.100" crankshaft I would look hard at the JE pistons. They have a good design for the slightly longer stroke.

Sell the block and buy one already made. I think there's one for sale 419 ci for 5500. You will ended up spending more on parts and machine work

I wouldn't do 4.1, as others have said, it pulls the pistons too far out of the bore.
I'd also look into a pre-built bottom end.
600 rwhp or fw?

low_bowtie83

Fwhp ive read the articles on ls3 sroker builds that make that thanks to help on here so im certain that its possible. Im certain i can build the bottom end for around 4500 or so

Also I've looked at prebuilt bottom ends but after research i dont car for aome of the parts used in them. I would rather spend the extra 500-1000 Bucks and know its solid i think

Just wanted to share this build here with you also.... it's a old thread but it still gets attention due to it being a absolute beast.

Wow thanks again bud i actually found a set of these heads for under 1900 bucks great value for the power capabilities. Ive put my parts list for my 416 stroker im naming "Beast Mode" ...lol now i can start buying piece by piece

That's correct! I've noticed most of them advertise 4-5k for a forged short block but with not the best components but at an additional cost offer the upgrades.

Tuskyz28

what heads did you find ?

low_bowtie83

The AFR V2 230s

Exactly by the time you get quality parts you're in it way over what its worth.....

Tuskyz28

Just awesome!! Those are going to killer. Now get the man that designed that cylinder head to spec you a specific cam to match~Tony Mamo.

There's a 429 ci block being sell at the forum for 4500.

Been there, done that, don't do the 4.1+ stroke. Stick to a 416/4" stroke.

What about on a sleeved block? Is a sleeved block worth the extra money? NA build street/TRACK 550-600 RWHP.

BOLO

I was initially going to build it with a 4.100" stroke, but decided to with a 4.000". In fact DietCoke's suggestion made a big factor.
