LT1 Engine Questions I have a few questions that needs answers? any info is greatly appreciated.
1. Before I tore my motor down there was a nocking noise, but when I tore it down there was nothing broke or unusual looking inside of the motor?
2. The block looks good and measures up good I just dont know if I need to have it machined for anything?
3. What all should I replace while building it, I am going to the LT4 Hot Cam Kit for sure, so what else should I replace?
4. Where can I get a good rebuild kit for the LT1?
5. Whats a good clutch to put in it?

If you got it all apart you might as well go all out...Order the Fel-Pro gasket set,order new rings new bearings everywhere and just reseal the motor itll be a lot happier.
It would be good if you took the block to a machine shop and at least had them run a clean up bore on it.That way the rings have a nice hatch to seat with.

Lots of people tend to have problems with the Spec clutches, and the McCleod Street Twin has had a lot of good reviews holding up to 1000hp.

Why not go with something better than the hotcam? Combination Motorsports has nice affordable cam kits that have much more to offer than the hotcam.
