the topic pretty much sums up my situation.
i need to know what heads i should get, pistons, intake, tbi and all that other good stuff. i plan on running a 125/150hp shot of nos so i want the engine to hold up. i want to go with aftermarket fuel injection as well. thanks for all your input

 

Forged pistons
Forged Crank
forged rods
AFR 195cc heads
DO LT1 swap or buy mini/super ram
Also get the whole engine balanced and blueprinted

 

Hey there you are doing the same thing as me. I hope I don't run into you. Anyways..in the new Hot Rod they have the shake down on a 350 that has about 500 horse. If you put the smae stuff in a 383..bye. The reall build up sheet is in the April 01 Hot Rod. I don't know if you have on or have access to one. Thats what I would do. I agree with NOS you need forged stuff! Hope this helps....

 

ive been reading alot in magasines. theres so much out there for a rookie. who makes the best forged crank/pistons. should i go with some nice flat top pistons. what brand of heads. i want some nice aluminum heads and the intake/efi is still under consideration. budget on this project is about 7G's when its all said and done. that includes the pulling, putting in, and tuning.

 

TRY EBAY!!!! Any forged crank pretty much will be very good quality, same with the pistons, and rods..... if i were you id get the 383 one piece INTERNALLY balanced crank.... kinda pricey but i think they are worth it!

 

what about for teh top end? what kind of good heads. well, maybe not good, hows about "best" and im still stumped for how the fuel will get burnt up. tbi, tpi, dfi, mini ram, super ram. theres just so much out there for guys who dont know a whole lot

Intake I would definately go with a Millican LT1 setup.... if you dont know what it is cruise on to the TPI message board and look for all of the "lt1" stuff it is BAD @$$

theres a really good lt1 set up

Cam- i dont really know exactly what cam to go with this depends a lot on if you decide on nitrous, supercharger, turbo, NA, fuel system, if you go 383 or 355 or 406 etc... i think TPIS and linginfelter make some dam good one......

Well thats all i can think of now did i help ya much?? matt
