Does Motor 1 come with a cam, etc? (it doesn't appear to from what you're saying). You mention motor 2 just needs intake/heads/oil pan.

Definitely sounds so far like the 383 is the way to go.

Its not really a mystery shop. I looked them up on Tech and they have done some good work on LSX motors. I personally never heard of them or know anything about them. I do know the other shop and know 1st hand they do quality work.

The 347 comes with no cam

I could but he lives in Rochester NY. Its a good drive from the Philly area..

I am talking about 2 shortblocks, 1 built for all motor or N20 and the other built for Boost. They both come with everything but the Heads, Intake, and oil pans. The Boost motor does not come with a cam but the 383 comes with a cam.. I would love to do a turbo motor but the more I think about it I really dont want to spend more money on parts then my car is worth. I did that once already with my 98 V6..

I said I have a set of 243 heads that the machine shop will do some work on. The 383 had some patriot performance 5.3 heads. His compression ratio is at 11.5:1. With my 243 it should be a little lower then that.. The cam that comes with the motor is a 238/248 duration comp cam. Its a good size cam. Like I said in his Vette the car made 480rwhp. I am shooting for 440rwhp all motor. If I want I can thow a 100 shot on it or more and make who knows how much power.
