Default building stroker few??s

OOOOOOOOOK Here is the deal..... I have a 96 LT1 WS6 trans am.. I am REALLY wanting to build a stroker esther a 377 or 383. With the 377 I would have to use a 400 block Will that work with all my LT1 stuff?? If not what is different?? And if I were to buy a rotating ***. for the stroker would I have to buy it just for an LT1 or can I buy it for ANY GM 5.7? I have a block out of a 95 Chevy truck I wanted to use If I were to build the 383.. Thanks for ALL your help...

NO... an LT1 block is specific and cannot be replaced by anything else but another LT1 block... well there are some slight exceptions people have done... but way to much money... just buy a stroker kit and have your existing motor rebuilt with a good custom cam and a set of heads...

you can do a 377 with an lt1, you use the stock bore, with the "400" crank(3.75). but yes, that 95 truck block is a GEN I, where as an lt1 is a GEN II.
