New build..i guess
New build..i guess Picked up a 50k mile LT4 this weekend for 800 bucks. Put all new gaskets in it last night and cleaned it up.Motor looks to be in really good shape.
My H/C/I Motor is coming out for some work that will take a couple years. The stock motor is going in and i will be daily driving the car for now.
Plans for the other motor include callies crank and rods...and a few other things
1 of them which looks like a snail.

Happy Veterans Day!

The 4-bolt mains are not worth paying extra for because by the time you need 4-bolts you should be looking at aftermarket caps and the machining that goes with them. I am NOT even commenting on the straight vs. splayed argument, just saying 4-bolt aren't a big help with stock caps.
That said I would buy an LT4 longblock for $800 flip the stuff and make a profit.

If you believe splayed caps are necessary then that is a strike against the straight 4-bolt of the LT4 block.
Maybe I should sell one or two of the 2 bolt blocks I have laying around. I wouldn't charge near that! But then again two are empty blocks and one is a blown up short block.
Quit trashin up the mans build thread!!!! Thats why Im not doin one till my cars done!!! I was pointing out Splayed caps would cost the same or more as what I payed for the stock 4 bolt block with std bore!! My lil Dart headed 396 will be just fine! Sorry for the clutter Draggin 
LOL have you ******* priced a LT4/LT1 4 bolt I wasnt bitchin about 400 since the man threw in a complete intake for my stock LT1 build LoL SO many know it alls on tech
LOL have you ******* priced a LT4/LT1 4 bolt I wasnt bitchin about 400 since the man threw in a complete intake for my stock LT1 build LoL SO many know it alls on tech I wasn't knocking anything. I think the guy got a decent deal and the stock 4 bolt should be plenty for most builds. I personally thing splayed should be left to a factory 2 bolt block, but that's me. G/L OP!
Thanks guys...The LT4 i picked up is just a stock motor so i can dd it while i'm building the other stock 4 bolt motor i have. I miss driving it all the time and this will be a good way to do it. It will take sometime to put the long block together since i will be sinking some pretty good money into this turbo build. Saturday will be when the motor swap party will be going on I'll have pics.
I'll have pics.
