Default Junkyard newbie

Hey everyone,

Just signed up for the site. I've been trolling around here for a few months looking for ideas on what I need to do. I figured it would be easier just to sign up and ask. I am currently building a budget LQ4 street/strip car. I found the motor in the junkyard a week or two ago and have been taking it apart and seeing what i've been needing. I know some of the basics like getting the L92 heads and upgrading the cam, but this will be my first GM motor project so I'm really kinda lost after a certain point. I've built a few ford mod motors but thats really it.

Ultimately I'd like to get the motor on a 300-400 shot so I know i'll have to upgrade the connecting rods and pistons but I really dont know the hp limit for any of the other rotating parts or the th400 im planning on putting in it.

Any and all help would be much appreciated thank you!!
