hmm another option, but i dont have those magazine, got a link?

 

For what ever reason, they aren't on their web page. Maybe try sending them a PM?

 

hmm ok

 

i think im just gonna start weighin my options, best bang for the buck, but so far without lookin too much at it, it looks like for a rotating assembly that 427 is gonna be it, then some l92 heads.

 

I am planning something similar, and really wanted to do the 454 for the same reason. But I think bang for the buck is in an iron 408 with L92 heads, but my goals may be different. Daily driven truck for a long time so I am going for reliable torque for fun driving not max HP. But if you are interested I have a very detailed parts list I am putting together if anyone would be interested. Might be hard to post its in excel.
Bottom line I have priced it to longblock $6800, Fuel system L76 conversion $1700, and 4L80E with driveshaft swap $4600. If you do the 454 you WILL need lvl 5 80E and 14 bolt rear if you don't already. IMHO

 

yea meatwad, send me the file shifcustoms@yahoo.com
thanks man

mine is going to be dd for any day its not wet out basically, so the 408 might be better but Im gonna weigh out all my options first.

 

I would consider a longer stroke and smaller bore. Isnt the 4.250 the max bore for the LSX block? I'd say go smaller bore for safer lifespan.

-Lurius

 

Yea someone mentioned that, so I figured if i do do the 454 ill do a 4.125" bore 4.25" stroke

 

email sent....

Why wouldn't you want to drive a 600hp truck when its wet?

 

lol not so much that, but the paint and frame work that will be done. id rather keep it mint looking.

email without a file ??
