I've been given the task to rebuild the motor in my sisters 95 Z28. She ran it out of coolant on a recent road trip and it has definite issues like burning coolant and oil. I'm trying to keep this under 1k. Machine shop qouted me about $700 if all the hard parts are good. I'll be doing all the assembly work with a friend of mine to help save cash.

I'm going to spring for a new cam, perhaps a CC305. Car already has headers.

I'll need a master gasket set, oil pump and prolly some other misc. things I haven't thought of. This isnt' my fist motor, but it is my first LT1. Anyone have a good source for these parts? I read that the gaskets are uber expensive.

Any tips, tricks, etc will be greatly appreciated!

 

heres a good source:

You could try some of the supporting vendors as well. They sell gasket sets, oil pumps, ect.

 

why are you going to put a cc305 in your sisters car?

 

Why not? LOL

you wanna stay under 1k, but you wanna do a cam swap. that means new spring, rockers, timing chain, pushrods etc...thats over $500 just in parts right there.
