What all needs to be done to a stock lt1 engine that has 113,000 miles on it? Anybody know of a package or nething? I live in Kansas by the way near wichita.

 

more performance in Charlotte,NC offers a good 396 package.

Do yourself a favorite don't take your car there. been there, done it and got the bill for it; It not wort it. Above all do not trust them.

 

Price aside...what happed? Faulty work? Bad Customer service?

 

Both, trust them as far as you can see them. All that about how they stand behind and warranty their work is BS. If you talk to them or go by the shop it all looks impressive but you can get much better for less. Bring a lawyer
DON'T DO IT RAMBO

 

Build it your self it will be alot cheaper... also to answer your ?'s you will need to bore your stock block over .030 and then clearance it for a 3.875 stroke and 6.0 rods thats about it for block work, now all you will need is head work and good internals for it... im hoping to put down 450hp to the wheels with my 396 packed with the goodies...

 

Again, good to here feedback...but can you give specifics? From your comment, it seems like they messed something up and wouldn't fix it, I'm just looking for facts.

I'm not saying your wrong...I have no idea. It's just that unless you state some real reasons it kinda turns into a McDonalds vs Burger King kind of argument; they both are good, but some people like one over the other.

I'm just looking for legitimate reasons because I've considered using them for an engine build and am trying to justify why not to use them if they are truly that bad.

So...what happened to ya?

Again, thanks.

 

Let me put it like this the engine that was in my car was the original. But when I got a call saying it spun a bearing it did not match my engine numbers. its your money

 

That's all I was looking for; just what happened.


thanks.

Are you looking for a shop to do the work or a source for parts?

try www.ksfba.org/forums thats the local Ks fbody club. There is a guy named slammedLT4 i think and he has a 396. He's local maybe he can suggest a good machine shop to do the work.

 

As before mentioned, go to the KSFBA board and ask for 2000RATA, he is the engine God here in Wichita. Give him a call, he can at least give you advice and steer you in the right direction. He is a really good person to work with.
