I don't understand the point of this thread. It says in the title how sweet would it be ..." " then you say, I don't want to do it - like someone is making you do it.. 0_o what gives?

So this is about at 434" SBC? Because nothing makes that short an LT1

Hah! But are you guys saying not possible in LT1? I was posting this because ohio crank recently released this kit, thats all.. just wondering thoughts on it, and if it cant work in an LT1 car.. why is that?

Indeed, just as long as it's built right.
Because you would need a 4.15 bore. The most a stock LT1 block should be bored is 4.06 and that's pushing it and the block should be thoroughly sonic checked before boring that much. Not to mention a 4" stroke would need block fill because the extra clearance would be going into the water jackets in the pan rail. It can be done. There have been those who've done 420+CID LT1 engines, but had to sleeve the block. Not only is that costly, but it really takes someone who knows what they're doing to make it work. The cost just does not justify the means.

Eh I'm not impressed most of the time by cubic inches anymore. This isn't the 60's you don't need a huge engine to produce huge power anymore.

What block are they using? The new Dart LT1 block that's soon to be released?

I built a 434 for a friend using a GM L98-type block; no filling needed.

I want to see the specs on that setup.. they may have a Kit, but like mentioned above, you have to be able to get that into a Block.

I see that one taking alot of $$$ to get running properly.

Oh nevermind then, thanks for the input. I was curious if it could be done, I wouldnt want to, I know it would cost triple what a 383 kit would run me when its all said and done.

And like i said, it is a new kit they released, just wondered if any one knew **** about it, but 383 for the win or a 408... right merv?

That's saying something when many many that I've read and heard as well as talking to different machine shops have all run into water at some point or another clearancing blocks for a 3.875" stroke. Perhaps the pan rails are a tad thicker on a L98 style?
Your what?

iTrader: (3)

hehe.. he was talking about his lil 408.


I just got back from the strip by my house, a Turbo 02 Trans am was running 9.3 at 151mph... i was quite impressed. LT1s r slow

I was told today not to waste my money on my LT1, just sell the car for what i can and buy an LS1 car... are LT1s really that bad? or just under estimated and people just dont know how to builkd one

Yea, there was a bunch of Camaros and Trans Ams there tonight, i didnt run my car, not yet.. waiting till last of the season so when I blow the rearend I wont care since winter will be coming.

Anyway, yea this dude was BSing me telling me how shitty LT1s are and how a Head/Cam LT1 still cant beat a stock LS1... really? i doubt that

I hope sometime over the winter to start my build thread, I already have a seperate block waiting to get bored out.
