Motor Time, opinions and help appreciated
So I'm going to be slowly putting my motor together in the next few months for the project truck.
My ultimate goal for this truck is definitely a street truck, not looking to run this thing down the 1/4 every week, maybe here and there. Plus it's backed with a t56 6speed. I'm looking for about 700rwhp with plenty of room to expand.
I've thought about the s85 and a 402ci motor, I don't really want to bore the block (lq4)
But here is a response I got about that setup
So I started thinking about doing twins instead of the big single, because I want the instant boost at the low rpms but still have the top end power. I understand $$ is greatly effect on this but lets put that aside for now. So I decided to get a hold of Forced Inductions and see what they had to say
So I'm kind of at a loss for which way to go and how to build the motor accordingly. I'm pretty set on turbo so lets keep that in mind.
As for fuel system, I'm not looking for anything INSANE like usabodygaurds, but I figured I could maintain a reasonable system to support my 700hp goal, again with room to improve.
Let me hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance!

I would stick with the stock stroke alot of builders have been stuffing 4 inch arms in the ls's on the iron blocks but the sleeve length is just to short for good reliability ,I can build you a nice long block for around 8000.00 that will take some serious abuse or if you have questions on your build feel free to ask.Have a good one Tom

Hmm... interesting. So you're saying stick with a 364? and run the s85? Or should I bore it to a 370. Seems like a lot of guys are going 408.
For 8000.00 what does that include?

Iron block,Callies crank,Oliver billet rods,forged 2618 pistons with rings to work with boosted app,l92 heads with inconel valves block oringed and heads receiver grooved,Hydrualic roller with dual springs titanium retainers.The combo is very stout and streetable .The bore is 4.005 stroke 3.625
I would suggest that if you want twin turbos then go with the TC series line of turbos. A pair of their new TC6265's would be the ticket for sure. If you want a single then the S85 is hard to beat.....the price now on those units is less then before as well.
