building a 383 stroker I need some help building my 383, here is some of the stuff that I am going to have in it, I want to build a bottom end that will last, so I was going to get 6" rods, I was thinking of going with a scat crank part #9-350-3750-6000L (found that on another thread), and some good pistons that I can spray about a 150 shot to. for the top end I am going with lloyd elliots LE2 package. I am just very unsure of what to get because of it being a lt1 i'm not sure if i can just buy regular 350ci stuff. all of the help is greatly appreciated.
there are several sponsors on the right hand of this page that will sell you a complete LT1 rotating assembly. Combination Motorsports sells nice packages. Just make sure you have all the right calculations done when you go to do it. Talk to lloyd first, then make purchases. An LE2 383 will prefer a pretty high compression ratio. I've seen Bret (SStrokerAce on these boards, the man who design's the camshafts) recommend ~11.8:1. It really depends on the camshaft. Of course since you plan to run nitrous this MAY need a different application. Good luck with the build!
