hey guys i was just wondering what are my options or if some one can go into detail on a 355 or 357 build up would be what parts and were would i shop. i want all forged internals. i want it done right the first time so i want the best stuff inside.

thanks for the help in advanced

 

You planning to build a normally aspirated engine or is it going to see nitrous?

I just put one together with relatively inexpensive parts. Makes close to 500 at the rear wheels and nothing's broken yet.

i do not want to run nitrous i want to be all motor i want a nice heads and cam package and intake and all the bolt ons to really bring the motor alive what should i be pushin for ill have 12 bolt out back and ill have hooker LTs into custom off road Y-pipe into a corsa cat back exhaust i want to have more then 500 rear wheel and i want to atleast run mid to high 10s.

in other words i want to pull up to a viper and give him the finger and tell him to catch me if you can

sorry about double post damn computer....

 

More then 500 at the wheels? Your looking at a power adder to do that man. Either that or a serious stroker. You would probably need a nice lightweight rotating assembly, stroked 383 or 396. Some AFR heads fully worked by AI and a big nasty solid roller cam. Even with that you still might come up short, especially through a 12 bolt. What you could do is a solid 355 shortblock, have lloyd port your factory LT1 castings, and a 100 shot of juice. That would be more likely to get you 500 at the wheels then an all motor setup.

500 at the wheels sounds VERY generous...i just built a 357 with all forged internals and a cam a slight bit larger than an 847 with le2 heads, and i think mine will put out around 400-420 at the wheels.

 

The question is very vague. Are you looking for a turn key solution, a crate engine, or is this something you are going to do yourself? What is your budget? How do you plan to use the car? Sounds like you want a fast street car. And so on.

everyday driver and when ever some punk *** wants to race and for me to blow him away, and some times at the track i got a 13,000 dollar loan for this swap of an lt1 and for the build up but i dont know what to buy instead of juice what about all motor plus the right supercharger setup any one now right know i have the car setup all tubular (EVERYTHING) Bmr suspension and i got the handleing and now i want the power perferably all motor. like i said i got the money and i want to do it right the first time and just be done with it and have a nice clean fast car to enjoy and drive.

also with a nice size stall and 3:73s what do i really need to have with out Juice to run mid to high 10s.

 

if you want all motor, defenatly stroke it, but if you are looking for 10 sec timeslips, you are going to need some juice. a well built fully forged motor can take 200-300 easy if it is done right

 

10s on motor is not easy. If your wanting to keep it 100 percent street car better go power adder.

 

Just watch out so that the "punk asses" don't think YOU'RE the "punk ***".

All kidding aside, 'bird is right.... it aint easy and Mystic is right too... a GM 847 won't get you there. It is possible NA... you just need the right top end and then you need the real hard part of the equation... the right suspension/car setup.

With your budget, it won't work..... not the way I'd want to build it anyways. That said, I'd shoot for a 400-425 rwhp build and put the juice to it in vast quantities.

I was thinking the same thing


yea sooo back to the topic...

 

are you saying that 13,000 wont get him 500 rwhp on motor? or are you talking 18º stuff?
