I would at least do rods and pistons, the crank will hold a lot

thanks for the tip! i will def get one

I wouldn't worry too much about rods and pistons if you're staying mostly stock. LT1 rods are decent. Its the rod studs you should worry about. The pistons are good also for a stock rebuild as long as they measure out ok. If I had stuck with a stock bore I would have used the stock pistons also. Definitly a new set of rings though.

Very nice! I picked my block up a couple weeks ago but it will be sitting on the stand for a little bit until the funds allow me to move forward the way I want. Mine won't be a stock rebuild though :devil:

stock rod bolts would need to be pressed out if you didn't know already

yepp i know but thanks for the heads up

I don't like to talk much about it until all the parts are here. I'm not fond of the guys who say they are going to this and that....which sometimes never happens.

The basics will be a forged 383 + boost :)
