Thinking of a new build I just finished my build not long ago, and already itching to start wrenching again.
What I have in mind is a full forged rotating assembly 383ci, with AI ported 215cc TFS heads along with a custom cam to work with them, everything else I can transfer from my current engine.
I was thinking forged SRP pistons, but what rods and crank are best to go with?
What kind of hp figures am I looking at making?

I would do a callies/compstar rotating assy.
RWHP is highly dependant on the transmission but that should be solid 10's N/A combo with all the other requisite parts and tuning.

I doubt a 4L60E (even rebuilt) would keep up with the way I drive my Z28.
I would love to carb the motor and get a TH350 or TH400 too.
I checked out SCAT kits on Summit at 1900 and include the flywheel and ARP rod bolts.
Any of the guys have experience with SCAT?

+1 on the Callies/Compstar AI will get you squared away on the complete set up.

Callies/compstar is good ****...... Lunati makes a great crank.... hell you can do an eagle forged crank and eagle h-beam rods and it'd hold up forever.....
depending on cam selection i'd say you'd be looking at 425-430 RWHP easy with a T56 and probably 400-410 thru an auto.... if you go TH400 you'd lose more RWHP but the car would be a monster at the track and on the street....

I was also considering going solid roller with AFR 227s and Jesel shaft rockers. More costly, but hell what a set up it would be!
Is SCAT not reliable enough?
