The Original Plan. Build the stock Lq4 I have and sell it. Buy 370 block and heads already bored and build it for boost but run 150-200 shot until I can get money for the boost.

Now i'm tossing ideas around. Build 408 instead of 370 OR sell the 370 block and everything and build a 427 from the Lq4 that I was going to put together this weekend.


Help me out. I need to DD and my goal is to just have a low 12- high 11 second Daily Driver. I already have and LS3 intake and plan on getting L92 heads and will run a 244/248 112 cam for the time being.
I don't really want something that over heats on me and heat seems to be a factor with a stroker motor.

 

well iam not expert but ill give you my 2cents ,
ive learnd from this forum that you always want more power and better times, so if your going to spend the money and go through all the head aches you should go as big and fast as you can! and as for dd , a cuzn of mine built a 415cid on afr's edelbrock ls1 intake manifold and a strocker cam and ! he hasent hade any problems with overheating or any problems period ! hes perty dam happy ! hope it helps!

 

Yea. You always want more. That's why i'm trying to make sure I get as much as I can. Forgot that the 427 is a 4.125 bore so I can scratch that since I really don't wana bore more. Unless it's in the budget. TSP has a 427 kit for 1850+ shipipng if it's still available.

 

HKE has their 408 shortblock for 3850. good price

 

Shortblock means I won't have heads. Going to be best if I build it myself.

 

Well after digging I realized u can't go 4.125 so consdering that I'm just gonna build a good 370. Gotta get a list of all the small things I need tho. Fuel pump, tb, arp bolts, etc

 

If you need motivation, remember that Jarrett has an 1100hp 370...I believe he daily drives it too.

 

Boosted 370 imo

 

Why the hell would he use an LS1 intake manifold...

 

I would just do a forged 370 and keep it simple...
