I am looking at doing something with my engine since it is over 194,000 miles now... and got to thinking: it would be quite unique to have an original SBC(like... carbuerated or at least throttle body injected) in a newer Camaro... I was looking at RPM and the entire longblocks are dirt cheap for 383 strokers... I was thinking about the $2499 Street/strip stoker:

Street/Strip Stroker SBC 383 4 bolt main block, Eagle cast steel 3.75" crank, Eagle SIR 5.7" rods, KB Performance or Sealed Power hypereutectic 9.6:1 pistons, Sealed Power rings, solid or hydraulic flat tappet cam, double roller timing set, new balancer and flywheel, pushrods, new OEM rockers, OEM heads with Manley 2.02/1.60 stainless valves, HP springs, locks, and seals

Here is the site: www.revolutionaryperformance.com

I was thinking it would be cool to see if I could get that but with a bit more bore/stroke to get it to 396... Then rebadge my car as an SS... sort of as a tribute to the 69 SS. It probably wouldn't be the fastest thing still, but would be very simple, clean up the engine bay, and by far the most unique thing I'll have ever seen...

I'm not exactly sure how you would overcome all the computer sensors and obstacles like where to place the accessories and whatnot, but that's what you guys could possibly help with What would all need to be addressed for this to become feasible?

edit: crap, I think this belongs more in Advanced Tech... I'm gonna post it there too, so mods, if you like delete this one.
