whats up guys, i have a 93 lt1 and it currently has 127k miles on the clock. my question is would it be better to spend 1,600 on h/c on the stock bottom end or save up around 4 grand or so and just get a crate motor(383 or 396)? my car is an auto and will probably be getting rebuilt with a 2800 or so stall in it....so tell me what ya think.

 

I would be saving up for a bottom end. Just my opinon.

 

You will have to spin it to at least 6500 RPM to get the full benefits of the LE2 cam and on a stock LT1 w/ 127k miles you're on borrowed time.

 

That is true 127K is a lot of miles. Then again there is nothing wrong with a 355 and a LE2, that's a hell of a combo.

 

I'm about to put a similar heads and cam on my 81k mile stock bottom end...there isn't anything wrong with my bottom end so I just didn't see replacing it.
