Re: LT5 Assembly Project
I was at Pete's garage last week, brought the IHs and confirmed that these have thinner walls than stock, part #s are different also....much lighter than even a 37MM ported IH. Finished them up some

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
Looks like it should flow some air
 Bet that was fun working the inside divider area.

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
How much is the projected cost of the rebuild.....OR...any LT5 rebuild. If you did a 415 yourself, what would it cost?

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
415 is pricey
Block Work alone is $9-10K I believe/although my guy said he could do it for far less. You can do a 368 for: $1400 liners $ 800 Pistons + Basic Rebuild Gaskets: $650-1000 Machine Work: $250-300 Rings: $300 Bearings: $450-500 Cam bolts: $80 Rod Bolts: $30 Misc: $150-200 Honestly this rebuild is funded by emblems, CDs, and porting...so I really do not feel the cost other than time and labor. So thanks to all the forum members for thier support!

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
Probably forgot a few things.....keep in mind this does not include labor to remove the motor, etc I am doing that myself
My actual cost is on the left

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
Lee,
I thought you were not doing the 368? |

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
I have a very competent engine builder and I would like to be involved, myslef. I'd like to build a 368 or 415. The 368 seems to be the biggest bang for the buck from what I can see.

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
The 368 will be the #966 block, which is the block I am keeping....possible I will sell this engine from #702, once I get 966 done...
and get my Callaway or a unique ZR-1 Getting hooked on the LT-5 build stuff, learning a lot
