engine block

i am just curious to know that before i buy engine block to build 500 horse power. what size i should buy is 305 or 350 or 383 CID small block? my friend build 430 horse power out of 350 cid engine block.

383 stroker baby, thats what im building

definatly the 383 stroker

yeah the general concensus seems to be a 383. i aslo agree you should build a 383.

572 :iceslolan

supercharged 572.. :evillol:

didnt they make a 602 ?

you kno what... i think so...

602? well i know the 572 is the biggest production engine ever made. i dont know if production engine is the word i mean but the bigest produced by chevy or ford or anyone.

602 baby blown with nos....ha ha

now i think of it that might be a dielsel

im pretty sure ive heard of a 602..... hmmmm

i think i have too.

im going to add turbo boost to my
camaro, that way i can jump
stuff like knight rider.......

haha, that would be tight

ive tried to get my brother to get a
knight rider conversion kit for his
86 trans am, but his motor locked up.

350 is very doable, and need i mention, the 383 started as a 350, so youre still using a 350 as the base block.

yeap

smartass....lol

oh and the caddy sixteen engine is an orgazm forged in metal and plastic, oh man if i had one i would FIND a way to shoehorn it into my thirdgen :)

theres a 768 in production but its not by gm

Wasnt there a 608 by dodge in the 70's Winston cup? I think the road runners or the chargers.

why not a 400ci small block? If you want to go in that direction go for those huge 415, 427, 434, 454, or even the 472 small block. I myself am rockin a 350 till I get some more bucks to make a stout 383.

or of you have some real money go and buy yourself a motown smallblock, bore that bitch out to about a 454

I seen on the cover of a chevy magazine they make small blocks with 650 horse! Thats enough power to get your chassis up in a bunch now isn't it!

the absolute best small block u can get right now i would have to say is the 427 ls6. i couldn't believe it at first but they did manage to bore and stroke a sb to 427cu!!

yeah the C5-R block for that 7.0L LS6 is bad ass. lingenfelter put a twin turbo version in a C5 vette, 0-60 in 1.9 seconds, quarter mile in 9.4 seconds. sigh... what i wouldnt do for one of those fuckers.

the c5-r complete engine w/ installation is like 28k, and the 427 twin turbo (700hp) is 50k... thats way too much... u can build an ls1 w/ a lot more power a lot cheaper, and they do have 427 stroker kits for ls1s.

You can get a Bill Mitchel 454 Small Block that makes 600HP for around $10K.

Hardcore 454 (http://www.theengineshop.com/feature0307.shtml)

My personal preference is the 502 BBC (got one in my '69).

to make a 427 sb u have to do more than just stroke it, it needs to be overbored a certain amount too. don't know how much tho...

i knew that... to stroke an ls1 to 427 u need a 4.125 stroke and 4.060 bore, u'll need to have it resleeved, its possible to get as much as 454 ci w/ 4.250/4.125. its definetely cheaper to resleeve an ls1 than buy a c5r block... u can make 3 ls1 427s for the price of one c5r. um and yes there is a replacement for displacement... technology... there is a replacement for carbs... efi... there is a replacement for hp... curb weight... i can keep going. theres a lot more to making a car fast than just power.

lol, yeah but cubes are just so damn SEXY!!! and the C5-R is cubes WITH high tech EFI and performance. throw it in a low curb weight car, and go have some fun :)

why don't you just mount a rocket to your car??

p.s. nice car RallySport. I appreciate people with style, and not flashy bullshit.

anyone give a fuck what he appreciates?
