Just curious. I'm probably gonna do it close to 200K. Hahaha.

 

a stock rebuild?
are you doing any of the labor yourself
(pulling the motor, assembly, etc)
if you take it to a shop and let them do all the labor, probably 2-3 grand....

might as well stroke it

Wow, you're gonna spend 200k on an engine rebuild?

Just kidding. It all depends on how crazy you wanna get with the engine. A stock rebuild can probably be done for less than $1500. If you decide to get crazy like the rest of us, then the sky's the limit. For instance, my car has 77k miles and I'm already building a killer stroker motor with a big nasty turbo to feed it cause the supercharger isn't cutting it anymore.

 

What kind of father would teach this to his child!!

Shame on your Jesse



Anyways I would like to stroke mine (engine that is ) . I will defenetely ask for a 383 if I can find one mech warrior who will do it for 2 grand (I am a cheap monk).

Which cheap monk are you? Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Chip or Dale?

 

i didnt mean it like that

i can see it know a quote of me saying "might as well stroke" in somebody's sig



lol

If you are pulling and replacing the motor yourself, it shouldn't be bad at all. Should be less than $1500 assembled, maybe $750 if you do the assembly yourself. All you really need to do is get new rings and bearings. No need to replace pistons, rods, crank, etc. No need to rebalance if you keep your parts straight. A friend of mine and I did this in my garage. Well under $1000 and the motor has been working great for a couple years and is pulling 11s at the strip.

 

Sweet. Thanks for the info. I'm probably just gonna do stock rebuild.

 

Anyone know where they sell a full rbuild kit for LT1s? All I can find is kits for older small blocks.
