Lt1 NA 383 build. Opinions welcome
If the car makes 380 rwhp or it makes 410rwhp I'm not gonna care I'm going to be happy either way. If no one ever told me I probably would never know the diffrence.
Beware....you often get what you pay for.....
I'd go with Ellwein or Golen.
EDIT.....I see you went with Golen.

Why? Because this plate (TCI-399173) for an externally balanced engine.
Call Golen to verify, but I'd bet a dollar that they are (internally) balancing your rotating assembly.
.
That being the case, you need the TCI-399174 plate....for internally balanced engines.

AND I JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE ONE SITTING ON MY LAP....BRAND NEW IN THE BOX!
$80 shipped to your door.
Again....call Golen and verify your needs, and then if you're interested in my offer, drop me a PM with your email and I'll send your pictures.

I have called chad several times now probably asked him 100 questions. Honestly the reason I chose Chad over anyone else is that he has been fantastic on the communication and he has no problems answering questions.
I really appreciate ****** pushing me to call him.

Golen short block & LE H/C package is one solid motor. With the LE 2 set up you should be around 400 RWHP +/-
The Best V8 Stories One Small Block at Time
In that case, the plate you listed will work just fine!!

-As stated Golen is building a 383 it's going to be 11.5 to 1 compression. Doing a 4 bolt main with fully forged internals. Golen is also doing the complete assembly from intake to oil pan.
- lloyd is doing a le2 heads and porting the intake. He Is also doing a custom ground cam. I am not sure of the etiquette on posting cam specs so I am not going to at this time.
-i ordered 36lbs bosch injectors that are being flow matched.
-also ordered a full 24xkit with stock hub
-i bought a new 58mm tpis throttle body from a member.
Things I'm buying in the next two weeks
Sfi flex plate, kooks headers and catted y pipe, sending pcm to moe for tuning,
Hopefully we will being installed the motor back in the car the second week of october.
Either way I'm probably going to gut them I honestly just didn't want to admit that online.
Also, unless you have a hookup on emissions, you will need to make sure the sensors tested are in a “ready” state. If you have too many “not ready” sensors you can be failed. Google something like “OBDII emission testing” and there’s a page that goes into specifics. You can get them tuned out if you haven’t already.
Also, i’d try to get the engine completely internally balanced. That way if you have to change out flexplate and torque converter you can have them neutral balanced and not run into any issues. JMHO.
On my 95 I don't know what they do I'm pretty sure they don't hook it up or anything. Since I'm not in a country the required a sniffer test that makes it easy.
I thought about getting an ory as well and just throwing it on the lift and just swapping them after the inspection.
It was so easy to get passed the inspection in NY.
