Considering a 368 build, where do I buy the components?

I posted this in the for sale/wanted but some might not see it there so I am going to somewhat repeat it here.

Okay, after going through this build last night I had a dream about going to a 368 already. I will double check Lee's post for the same information, but I believe no response.

Besides Lingenfelter does anyone know sources to get everything to build the 368?

If not, what are the exact items needed for the build. Con Rod SBC 5.850, LA sleeves 4.00" bore and pistons don't know the specs?

Another thing I will need is to rent a torque/deck plate for the LT5 if anyone knows who has one that is willing to do this. It is an astronomical cost to ship my block to the upper 48 just to get the liners bored/honed and I think more feasible to rent the plate for a local machine shop to do.

I am going to contact some of the builders to see what they can do. I tried to search for information on this Registry but the search does not work well for "368". The other forum has some information, but old.

I guess I will try Jeff who mentioned something about having them and SGC, Corey Henderson, Mike Ebert, not sure who else. I think Marc H has them but only for the motors he builds, but I asked anyway. I was quoted by one builder for $3500 that includes 8 custom ductile iron liners, J & E forged pistons with 4 valve reliefs, pins and file fit rings and Eagle "H" beam connecting rods.

Thanks!!!

I would offset grind the crank to 3.75" stroke,to make 377 it's not about the 9 extra ci's,it's more for the stroke in return you will gain more torque/power for the price i think it's worth it.

If your going to be buying new rods might as well do a 377.
The extra cost is just in the crank grind not sure of the price maybe flyin ryan would know better.

Just my take on it.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the recommedation and it sounds more complicated to me than it probably is. I'll look into it and think about it to make sure I understand it well. Sounds good though.

Please disregard, gave up on the thought of 368.

also when offset grinding the crank the other plus is the smaller bearings you can run .i believe 2.0
