I've been debating it I've already bought rods and pistons so **** it!!!!

 

yea I would just rebuild with gen4 piston and rods. hone the cylinders and run it. ive seen some pretty bad cylinders on some ls motors with thrown together parts that ran like hell.

 

If you have the parts go with a forged lower

 

its beyond just honing it the wrist pin did a number on the cylinder 8
i bought H-beams and forged pistons planned on running the stock crank any reason i shouldn't

 

how much power are you planning to make?

 

well i plan on doing a F1 sometime down the road

 

Stock crank 370" for the win!!

 

been searching around on ls1tech seems with a turbo setup your good to about 1,000 with a stock crank

with a blower its a different story guy was running a F1 setup with a stock crank making about 900 rwhp and bent it

you've gotta figure with all the force on the snout of the crank from the blower even more so with a dedicated drive since it pushes the pulley out even further then a regular 8 rib setup

i plan on pushing this 370 pretty hard with a F1 i don't like doing **** twice


if you can see otherwise please enlighten me
