Stroking a LSX engine

[HLN A55]

interesting readin greg and great due dilligence on your part!!! wouldn't a crate motor 427 from GM with an aftermarket cam come in around this mark? I'm not sure about comparative $$$ but Horsepower Solutions here in Edmonton did a heads/cam build on a stock bottom end 427 crate motor and came away with 660 flywheel...

For the ERL LS 427 dry sleeved block with R&R out the door you are looking at $5k US, then add your forged crank, beams and pistons
for $2.5k plus all installed for maybe another $2k, so total 10k?

I do not know what a 427 from GM cost, but maybe $12k would be a close guess?

Wow, that make the 383 stroker a cheap option.

Greg , I'm very certain that you will be very happy with a 383 . If you go to a say a 402 , you will need an LS2 block,then heads and intake and so on . You already have most eveerything you need now , so a 383 is the logical step .
I'm seeing John this week , and will discuss it with him to see what kind of a deal we can put together for you

Nice thing about motors is that they come out and you can always take them with you when you want to change/upgrade cars.

Maybe I should drop a LS7 in the vette and take the old LS1 and put it in the wifes Honda

Actually looking around and doing some data collection on the net I noticed that Lunati also has a LS1 395ci stroker option.
For the standard 3.903 piston with a 4.125" stroke at 10.4:1 over the 383-4.0" stroke to get the extra cubes.
I will have to try and find how much extra hp it will be going to a 395 instead.

If you squeak it a bit bigger, you could turn it into a 396! I would love to have a badge with that on the side of my Vette.

 

[HLN A55]

You go ahead riley... If people can call a LS1 a 350 (instead of a 346), I'll support you badging your vette as a 396 with that kit.

[not2melo]

Hey why not just round it up to 400, sounds much meaner
Either way 382 or 395 they would be low end torque monsters!
Still reading..........

 

[Riley P]

I guess I just like when engine displacements line up with the displacements of the well known engines from the 60's.

(PS, I call my engine a 346 )

 

[HLN A55]

Its definitely cooler that way
