I was looking at this. What is everyones input on it. Thanks

if i were you, and i was going rebuild it, i would poke it out a little and put some parts in it. not a ton of parts but just a little something extra you know, since its gnna be wide open anyway.
what do you mean? Could you please elaborate? I like this rebuild kit because im going to be putting a CC502/306 cam in there and I thought it would be better to have all these new parts in there.
what r ur plans for the car? i think you should do the cam, but save up for a streetable 383 or 396. you also have to figure out what the compression ratio of those pistons are. summit has a kit like that for a few hundred cheaper, but the pistons are only 9.9:1. you will lose hp as the stock compression is 10.5:1. you will most likely have to have machine work done to the block also.
I like the kit that im looking at. the pistons are bored 60 over the guy at summit said. he said I wouldnt have to do any head work with that kit.
-I was looking for a 383 kit. Where would I look for those?
Where would I find a stroker kit? Also what are "slugs"?

look in summit again. sealed power(another part of fel-pro) has a forged kit for an lt1 that runs $549.99 but with out connecting rods and crank but it runs 10.40:1 compression ratio. its just another option but do what you want. if it were me i would save the money, get a forged 383 kit, a set of heads like some lloyd 2's or 3's, and a good cam.
i was also looking at summits 383 kits for a little under a grand

Yeah, it won't fit your engine.

I can tell you a little information about the product you were looking for, because I am a Sales Representative at Super Auto Depot Inc.
Pistons are 10.5:1 stock compression using a stock head.
There is not a camshaft available for this kit, at least we do not sell one. Elgin Cams, Competition Cams, and a few others make the camshaft that will work great for the application.
Keep in mind, the engine rebuild kit at Super Auto Depot Inc. is only a stock engine replacement rebuild kit, and unless upgrading pistons sizes, etc., you will have the same amount of horsepower using our kit, as a stock LT1 would have, only fresh, clean, and brand new parts. Good Luck with your project.
If I could make a recommendation, even if you don't go through Super Auto Depot Inc. it would be worth your while to invest in a set of forged pistons, instead of cast or hypereutectics. Thanks.
