Ups & AES sent me some gifts today!
 

Well today has been such a boring day until ....ring ring? I open the door and the ups man says I have presents for you Mr. Riceburner! So I kicked him in the balls, shoved him out my doorway & said have a nice day! :D anyway he left a few items so I thought I would share it with my PC family. O I almost forgot I picked up my engine today woopee! its a 355 lt1 with forged rods & cc306 cam.. arp everything! theres a pic that shows a bad rod bearing that is what caused 3yrs of pain!

Sweet, hopefully it gets all back together and you dont have any problems with it

Very nice! I wish I had the money for a build like that right now...oh hum. I hope everything goes together well for you. Looks like it is going to be a beast!

I'm wondering how much hp can this motor take? The crank is rated up to 500 horses and the rods can handle up to 750. Now its still a 2 bolt main but I did use arp studs! 2nd question is what kind of heads do u guys recommend? My engine builder suggested Afr's but I was looking in the summit catalog and the trick flows seem to be decent.. I dunno..... any ideas?

If I remember right, the Trick Flows are mainly built for forced induction. AFR's seem to be really popular but then again there are quite a few people putting down really good numbers with LE heads. If you have the money, buy some AFR's. If your budget is starting to look a little low, buy the LE's.

I wouldn't push the motor past the recommended ratings. You could have gone with a forged crank and H beam rods for a little more strength, but with just a cam and heads you will be more than covered.

I was thinkin about those le2 heads but i have to send them my heads if so I had my stock heads taken apart and they told me its wasn't worth rebuilding them! Yea I could have did all forged parts but thats gonna be for next motor

looking good julian!!! 306 FTW. it will be my next

tats awesome bro

I moved the thread as you asked aswell

i read an artical in gm high performance and they had an Lt1 355 with dart heads comp cam and an edelbrock intake and it hit 450 hp. you should be ok unless you have anymore power adders then idk

up dates ?

Porno!
