New LT1 Long Block I am ordering a level 2 trans & converter combo from Performabuilt, and waiting to get some pricing on a Fab 9 3.73.
I was going to get my motor rebuilt (I'm in the UK), but searching thru LS1tech I came across Golen Engines.

It looks like a lot of motor for the money. I'm thinking of going this route.
have any of you guys got one of these ? Its rated at 520hp would this be flywheel or rear wheel? Do you think a stock intake with some porting would work, I dont fancy paying for an Edelbrock. Would a 2300-2500 stall work here? Its my DD with racing mainly on the street, with occassional 2-3 strip visits a year.
As I've already got a NOS (dry)system installed do you think this would still work?
Suppose I want you guys to chime in with your experience and suggestions before I part with the cash...
Thanks in advance

That would be flywheel. Always assume the numbers you see are flywheel unless otherwise specified. 520hp? I think it's a bunch of bullshit especially since it's nothing more than a GM847 cam, but whatever.
Yes you would benefit w/ a port matched intake.
My advice to you is to find a good machine shop locally and have the build done by someone you can personally deal with instead of a telephone.

So you live in the UK and want a gas guzzler, eh? Wow.. more power to you! How the hell do you get away with speeding over there? I've been told there are speed cameras everywhere around there and that Corvettes along w/ f-bods are massive cars and sometimes difficult to navigate through some of your streets.

Hard to say. If I were to guess I'd say it'd be more in the 450 to 470hp range. Maybe 400 to 410rwhp through a manual. Unknown through an auto.

I'll give them a call and get more info from them.
I've had American muscle since I left school, and thats quite some moons ago. Right now I have two Z28's a '79 & '96. Lots of American cars over here, plenty of clubs as well - American Muscle Alive And Well in the UK-. You are right plenty of cameras, but still plenty of places without. Plenty of Jap cars here as well, they breed like roaches and group together thinking they invented the muscle car, that pisses me off.
Gas guzzler ? yep, I wouldn't have it any other way around $12 a gallon here...
I'm doing a rebuild -Motor,trans & rear because I was spanked by a Jap car
.I've got to put the record straight. Anyway thanks for your input.
