You need to supply a good short block/crank.

Compression is your choice 9.5-1 thru 13.0-1

The way this is done the sleeves are thicker and stronger then open deck 4" sleeves.
One of these already have 10-15k miles on them with alot of drag time
alot of Chicago traffic and has run 10.40's @ 133 this car runs just fine.

So if you won't drive it as hard as the above car then i would not worry about reliability.

This is EXACTLY what's on my wish list. 575+ hp at the crank. 500+ hp at the wheels.

Hib, I don't drag race either. I just like the added "punch" and being different than a stock LT5.

The CNC part you mean? Absolutely! There are 3 10-sec big inch LT5s and one 11.0x 350 stock block 350 using "the pattern". And, Marc too has developed a new pattern as well.

Gotta run.

You've done dyno testing?
Awesome.
Please, post the data in the comparison test you did. I could learn a lot by reading it.

I second that request. Is there before/after data on a stock engine with just the Chicago CNC work? ($2500)
You have my interest. That'd be worth the gas $ money for the trip especially if it could be timed right for the next gathering.

Clarification: I did say $2500 is for the heads (only) - the really tricky part. (Price is for engine out of the car, heads removed, ported, reinstalled/reassembled, you put top-end on and reinstall the engine.)


Sorry for the confusion.

I'm lovin these 391-401 combo's Make's for a nice comfortable rod ratio.
This just show's that the LT5 is still evolving....

Amen brotha.
I wish i had the extra coin i would do a closed deck 396 with 6" rods then watch out and get out of the way.lol

Kevin (Polo1) 3.75" stroke does sound good if i ever decide (get the extra cash) to do this it was something i was gonna decide on at that time.
I like the sound of a 396 with 3.75" stroke and 4.100 bore.
