Budget 355 lt1 Q's
How much did you drop on a budget 355 build? I would like to start planning for a 355 with a monster hydro. cam, and home port heads, on a motor that can handle a 150 - 200 wet shot.
Plans are: Th350 4000-4500 stall, 355 with spray,
I have a 10 bolt with 4.10's, as well as a fuel system that will handle up to 1200 hp.
any info on the motor would be greatly appriciated.

If your not planning on spinning the eng to high. I would just use the stock rods and crank with some good pistons such as Speed pro and some ARP bolts. If your looking for some thing that can handle a good amount of abuse but still cheap go with some Eagle or Scat crank and rods with some Speed pro pistons. Just remember you can only make as mutch power as your heads will let you. So put the $$$ in the heads.

Snake: I was being a little facetious, though I might decide to sell it shortly. However, I did to be what I consider a good balance between budget and strength.
Scat cast 3.75 crank
Scat 6.0 forged rods
Diamond pistons.
I bought the rods and crank off of Ebay for about ~320 bucks delivered. I bought the pistons from the builder for ~600. The rest is just finding a block and doing the machine work.

LS1 swap? Haha. Sure, stock shortblock vs stock shrotblock the LS1 is king. But a built LS1 will cost much more than a built LT1.
