What's it take to build a 396? I see many threads of 383's, so how are they doing it to build 396's?? OVERBORING ??? |
You can do it both ways. But if you are going to sleeve it to for a 396, it would make more sense to build a 418 or 427. The stroker kit that I got fits the stocked (honed) bore and has a longer stroke of 4.125". The 383 strokers have a stroke of 4.00", so the only difference in stroker kits is the crank (and possibly rod length). |
I would like to know the same. So do u just use the stock LT1 and put a stroker kit on it that I guess includes a crank, rods etc.??? |
383 iand 396 have teh same bore. 30 over 383 has a 3.75 stroke 396 has a 3.875 stroke neither one require resleving. kits usually include: crank, rods, pistons, bearings and rings make sure you factor in machine work in the price brook |
I think that if you buy a rotating assembly for either 383/396 both fit each other. But im not totally sure. |
anyone knwo off hand a ball park of how much to get a block bored 30 over and also get the mains dilled and tapped to 4 bolts instead of 2? |

In the works: Lunati 396 stroker & 55009LUN cam, AFR 225, 90/90 (NW TB), Kooks 1 7/8" , H/S rocker mod, Racetronix Fuel system, BMR SFCs & upper A arms, UMI Lower A arms, Digital Suspension, 3.73 Moser 12 Bolt, Profab K-member, Home P&P oil pump, Textralia clutch & Billet F/W). Are you building an LSx or LTx....from your desription you are thinking LSx based motor |
Oops, you're right. I answered this thread from an RSS feed, not noticing it was in the LTx Forum. |

Why does it have to be sleeved?? does it need to be bored over 60. and would a 396 be worth the build for a good strong daily driver, thats not used for strip use, and whats the purpose of a 396, more torqe than the 383 right?? I thought i'de use a CC306 cam. |

I thought i'de use a CC306 cam. To get the extra stroke needed for a 396 requires a little more maching of the block for clearence issues. If the pupose of your car is to be a driver I might even suggest building a forged internal 355, and with the money you save get a good set of heads and a custom grind cam to match. |
