Im looking at a motor from
http://www.golensengineservice.com/ its a 396ci LT4 Long Block.
The 396's specs are:
Block: Thermally cleaned and Stainless Steel Shot. Inspected by MPI process. Decked, bored, honed with torque-plates and pressure washed. Clevite cam bearings and pioneer brass freeze plugs installed.
4-bolt main caps and ARP main studs.
Crank: Eagle 4340 forged steel 3.875� internal balance
Rods: Scat 4340 forged steel, 6� length floating pin.
Pistons: SRP forged
Rings: Speed Pro Plasma-Moly
Bearings: Clevite Main and Rod Bearings
Core Plugs: Brass Pioneer core plugs
Main Studs: ARP Performance main studs
Lifters: Comp Cams Hydraulic Roller
Pushrods: Comp Cams High Energy
Valve Springs: Comp Cams
Rocker Arms: Comp Cams Aluminum Full-Roller 1.5 Ratio
Timing Set: GM LT4 roller timing set
Timing Cover: Recon Aluminum timing cover
Oil Delivery: Melling high volume pump, pickup tube and HD Drive
Oil Pan: New factory 5-quart
Gasket Set: Fel-Pro Performance
Head Bolts: ARP Performance Hex Head
Can this motor be built using my current stock block at a cheaper price then $7,899.00? Is it worth the new set up? or is it even safe on a stock 350ci LT1 block?
Also I'm just curious, how do you get a 396ci out of a 350?
