I live in La
I'm gona need a new motor soon.
Any shops on the west coast that sell crate motors or build lt1's that you guys can suggest or have had experience with.
Lookin to go with a real nice 383.

Thanks Mike

 

I can't think of any. I looked a while back, you might want to get an OEM Lt1 block and just build it up yourself.

EDIT: I just remembered that Jegs sells a 383 LT1 crate engine, I see if I can find it for you.

 

Yep I seen it in there last week, about $5800 if I remember correctly.

 

Just went onto the jegs website and couldn't find it.

Thanks Mike

 

How much power do they claim with that motor?

 

Get ahold of Combination Motorsports. They specialize in LT1 and LS1 engines. I only hear good things about them, very helpful. They are located near or in Las Vegas. Combination Motorsports

 

I saw it in their catolog about a month ago, I'm trying to dig it up.

 

Summitt shows a 383 LT1, 2 bolt for $5999. See page 104 of the November-December catalog.

 

Is that Summit price with heads?

That is VERY high depending on what they are selling with it

Scroggins dickey sells forged 383 4 bolts for $3400 for the short block
Combination motorsports was around the same price.

When I called scroggins they told me they use new blocks and there is not a core charge like a lot of other builders
