Ok here is wha i want to do, i have a good LT-1 long block that i would like to build into a 355. Does anybody know a good machine shop in the New Jersey area?
I would like the block cleaned, checked for cracks, crank, and rods checked, splayed 4 bolt main caps installed, bored 30 over, deck checked, align bore for cam and crank, motor internaly balanced, cam bearings, and freeze plugs installed. I was looking at the lt-1 engine rebuild kit in Summit for the gaskets, bearings, pitons, etc. Than i was going to go LE2 with the heads. Does anybody know of a reliable shop in Jersey that i can count on to do it right the first time, for a fair price?

 

Wrong forum.... this if for computer diagnostics and programming. I'll move the post for you.

If you are in west NJ, check out Second Street Speed in Perkasie, PA.

 

Sorry i am a jackass, thanks

 

If all you're doing is a LE2 package, I doubt you'll need 4 bolt splayed caps. That's a lot of extra money for something you don't need. I'd only do that for a LOT of spray or FI. Just my .02.

 

You think the bolt mains will hold up? I was figuring on about 425 rwhp, but if i got my *** whipped by a supercharged mustang, or ls-7 vette, than i might have to spray a 100hp shot.
