I'll try and fill in the blanks for those that aren't familiar with my "project."
I own basically all the parts to build a 396 [4.030 X 3.875] LT1, including a block that has been reworked to within an inch of it's life. I'm just looking for the "ultimate" set up to put under those 32V heads. There is no substitute for cubic inches, and my LT1 block is at the end of it's C I limits now. A bigger engine not only has more power potential for me, but won't have to work as hard to make that power. Plus there are the advantages of what an aftermarket block can bring to the table as far as strength, lighter weight, improved cooling/oiling systems, etc. I am building this car to be a high end, no frills Trans Am type car that will be streetable. I want it to run on pump gas, but want to shoot for 200+ MPH at Maxton.
