Ok, before i beat my topic to death, i got one post i really need everyones help on. While trying to plan out my engine build, i realized, i need a list of every part i need. so my questions is, for you guys to send me a list of parts needed to make a bare block Lt1, into a 400+ hp 383.
i really appreciate everyones help with this. thanks alot. specific parts will be helpful too. sites to get the stuff for cheap, and any other things that will help me in this build.

You are going to get so many different opinions on what to use, you may be more confused than when you started. Not everyone builds them the same way.

 

well, all i need is the basic parts, and any opinions from there on are just for me to review when going to purchase those parts. i kno everyone builds em different. but theres gotta be some kind of schematic for this.

 

I just bought one done ....400RWHP dynoed....hope this helps
