So do I. I am seriously thinking about picking up a LT1 block and starting a 383 build. My plan is to build a nice stout bottom end throughout the next year, and then when next years tax season comes around I will throw a LE2 package on it. Sounds like a plan to me.

Remember the other Z I had a while back- plastic, carpet and fiberglass may burn, but engine blocks sure don't!!!

What do you think I have been doin for the past year??

Looks really good, have any idea what you're going to put it in yet?

ok...i have a question...do you have to bore the cylinder out to fit the .03 over..

FORCE_FED_Z

Well, you can either bore the block, or shave the 4.030 pistons back down to 4.000..

or sleeve it and bore that. which is dumb.

but i bored my engine tonight in class. old, old boring bar, but it did a great job. took about 3 hours. next week i'll hone it clean it and start building it.

You're getting close- tell ya what, I have drill this weekend, someone find out what the difference is and post it for me by sunday afternoon- consider it a little homework assignment.

To make it clear- I see two things that are different and that was just looking quick, so there might be something else I am overlooking..
