yes its expensive. couple grand for real kits. i would only have a shop do it cuz u have to machine the block for the extra length of the crankshaft and you have to bore the cylinders perfectly without screwin it up. one little slip up and you need a new block

its an expensive project, but causes massive increase of hp

someone correct me if im wrong on any of that

i have a cam already (Comp Cams XTREME XE-R XER273HR - 224/230 - .581/.588 w 1.7 rocker - 114 LSA), if i do the heads then I'm done? What size motor is it with the cam?

Would i still need a crankshaft? What about new pistons/rings? Would factory heads work if they're machined? I think i'll avoid it, it sounds like problems.

The cam doesn't change the displacement of the motor.

no sorry... cams dont increase displacement and neither to heads. only distance traveled by the piston and the diameter of the cylinder are put into factor with displacement... so u either need ur piston to travel farther (longer crankshaft) and/or bore your cylinders out (increase cylinder diameters).
altho cam and heads will increase power a good amount also

For 10K I'll sell you my 408 block with all callies billet internals and custom diamond pistons! For 5K you can get a C5R block, no internals though.

He didn't mean money.. he meant amount that would need to be bored...

arn't all ls1 blocks that came in camaro's sleeved from the factory????

**Danger731** · 10-29-2007, 04:12 PM

1998's are the blocks than have the most restrictions on boring i believe

That cam would be on the small side for a 382. To do a stroker, "yes", you need a stroker crank.
