Stay away from the SLP shortblocks.

Heard more bad than good.

the old adage is "there's no substitute for cubic inches", so 408.

**Quik** · 03-14-2009, 04:59 AM

depends on what your wallet has and what you want. you can have 500 rwhp with a 346 all motor

you can have 425rwhp with a 408. it all depends on your budget. alot of ppl spend money on strokers and dont have the rest of money for supporting mods.

402 and 408 same motor with same performance. .030 isnt going to net much if any difference in performance. 383is a decent build and depending if you use your 5.7 block its still aluminum or if you chose to use a 4.8/5.3 block then youl have a iron block 383

Not street friendly ones.

500RWHP with an N/A 346 will be high strung.
Can it be done? Of course, but I would prefer 500RWHP from the stroker.
Again, back to available funds....

I am a fan of the 383.
you can make high 400s no problem.
But are you looking for a dyno queen or is there a certain 1/4 mile time your looking for?
What is ur budget?

LT1....yes.
LSx....not so much. Wrist pin clearance issues have been had in the past.

**JwMonE99** · 03-14-2009, 07:39 PM

Oh yea very true.
lt1>ls1 ; )

good set of heads, ported fast 90 with a good cam, 1 7/8 headers, true duals dialed tune, compression. its nothing new to do. the TQ is what lacks some but its been done.

here is a link to a 502rwhp build on a 346
