'96 Lt-1 Planned Rebuild
'96 Lt-1 Planned Rebuild
My engine is getting close to a desperate needed rebuild. With the Engine hitting almost 190,000 miles soon, im planning on this rebuild.
I intend on getting a majority of parts from lingenfelter and a few of the good vendors from here.
The planned rebuild is:
-Machined 350, basically just smooth out the grooves from piston wear. Want to keep it as a 350.
-MSD Pro-Distributor
-MSD 8.5mm Spark Plug Wires
-GM Performance LT4 Hot Cam Kit
-Edelbrock Performer RPM LT4 Air-Gap Intake Manifold
-Edelbrock 58mm Throttle Body
-Edelbrock LT1 Cylinder Heads For Use With LT4 Edelbrock Intake Manifold
-8 Manley Chevrolet LT1, LT4 Beam Forged Steel Connecting Rods -5.700"
-Racetronix - LT1 Camaro Firebird Fuel pump system
I cant seem to find a good set of pistons to replace the stock ones, any thoughts/ additions/ comments/ tips yall could give to me? Much appreciated.

not sure about those heads, havent really heard anything about them so i cant help ya with that.
the edelbrock intake mani is said to be a "waste of money". i have one on my car but i bought it with it on already, so i cant say whether it is worth the cash or not. Ive done alot of searching and i still havent found a before/after dynochart.
you might want to possibly check into a lloyd elliot setup. ive seen many many setups done by him and they all made great power, hell his LE1 package usually puts down around 380 to the tire, with the LE2 pkg in the 415-420 region...and then theres the LE2.2, the LE3, etc etc. eportworks.com is his website, and if you do a search there is PLENT of info on his work. I dont even have a LE setup, but ive wanted one for about 3 yrs now, and will be getting it this winter finally. Hope this helps ya some
