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!!!

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

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..
