Thoughts on a future project?
Im looking to build a streetable Lt1 monster and was wondering if anyone had thoughts on this setup (if its a good combo or what not)
Eagle 383 stroker, forged
Loyd Elliott LE2 heads with 230/234 .592/.592 111lsa cam
-patriot springs 155lbs seated 400lbs open
1.5/1.6 rr's (PTV clearance issue i believe)
Tpis "mini ram" intake with 58mm tb, tpis 100mm maf
other supporting fuel and ignition mods
moser 12bolt with 3.73's
supporting suspension mods
I have been looking around at parts and other setups and trying to get a game plan before i drop loads of money, was hoping anyone could help guide me in the right direction or agree with what i posted above.

Dont know how much of a "monster" that would be.
The 383 could run more cam (I'd probly do solid roller) and I'd lose the eagle junk. Even though it is forged it would be hard for me to trust them.
I also wouldnt bother w the intake. The bone stock LT1 intake does the job up to around 400-450 or so IMO and even then, guys dont see huge gains porting them, proving they werent that much of a restriction

Looks like a pretty good combo. I will say the valve to piston clearance is not going to be affected much with that small of a change in ratio of the rockers. In other words if you have clearance issues with a 1.6 you are still close with a 1.5. Remember the ratio change is only really going to affect the higher lift values, seat to seat timing is still the same.

Im having a hard time finding the rotating assembly, that eagle one said up to 500hp... I was looking at scat assembly's but they didnt have allot of info on their site, any ideas where to look for stroker assembly's, a 396 would also be nice...
