That is the price w/installation. It's a 355 lt1 longblock. I'm not sure about all of the internal numbers yet, but everything is forged. It's ready for NOS. As a matter of fact, it has been used w/NOS on it. The guy had it in his z28. It has less than 1k since the rebuild. He ran a 10.5 w/150 shot of NOS. It is advertised to have 400rwhp w/out the NOS. That 10.5 was run with non-stock suspension and rear end gears.

I have to find my own headers and clutch (Maybe you guys can help me with that)

The
Anyway, is it a good deal?

 

If it is everything he says it is, It's a very good deal. A set of ported heads and a cam to make 400whp will cost around 2k alone. Having someone install it at a shop would probably cost close to 1k. So if it indeed makes that kind of power grab it.

go to the site....

www.wideawakeracing.com

Scroll down a lil bit and you see a video with a black z28. Download it and tell me what you think.

 

I would be a bit skepticle of that deal. It seems a bit too good to be true. The long block it's self is worth more that $2150. I would never sell and install it for that price. If it is what he says it is with 1k on it. A better price installed would be something north of 3k.

Just be carefull

P.S. I couldn't find the video.

 

Nitrous.

 

I'm sorry, once you get to the site, you have to click on VIDEOS first. Then you scroll down.

As for the deal. I'm not sure if I said, but its a friend of a friend. That would explain why its such a deal.

 

yea, that motor would probably cost close to 5k with the heads, something smells fishy

 

I did some negotiating, and he's going to throw in some Jet-Hot Hooker LT's, electric water pump, fuel system, and all gaskets and fluids needed for $2650 installed.

I found a y-pipe for $100 shipped

Found a Moroso CAI $115 shipped (with filter)

Got a Flowmast catback $90 shipped

I still need:
HO fuel pump,
clutch,
3.73's or 4.10's for stock 10-bolt

 

wow dude, you are geting a killer deal, just KEEP in mind that if things look too good to be true the prolly are, i would at least have a engine shop look it over first.

 

I now come to find out that the heads are not ported. They're just port-matched to the gaskets or whatever.

So how much rwhp do you guys think I'm making with a port-matched intake, port-matched heads, Hooker longtubes, and a 355 forged and balanced rotating assembly with cc305 cam and 1.6rr's and Moroso CAI out of a T56?

The compression ratio is 11:1

I'm so pist off right now. I thought I was going to have to just get a GM847 cam and I'd be set at 500rwhp.

 

500 RWHP? With nitrous, yes, but with stock heads, you'd be lucky to hit 355-360 RWHP with what you have right now. GM847 + ported heads (depending on the port job) may hit 400 RWHP, but with stock heads, 360 RWHP tops.

 

also scrap that stock 10bolt
w/ 350 or so rwhp (mods in sig) i snapped the stock posi in half, all the gears destroyed. I wouldn't suggest it with 350 rwhp, much less 400+ (or nitrous)

 

I need to scrap the 10 bolt even if I'm not using drag tires?

 

Just a port match and a 305? Maybe 330rwhp, 335 tops.

 

Ditto, you got screwed. Port matched heads = stock heads. I would say 330rwhp is probably about right. No way you can get 500rwhp on ported GM LT1 castings if you are NA. I would say 400rwhp is about the most you can really get with just ported heads and a big cam.
