i know its kind of a lot to ask of you guys but i have and 85 iroc with what supposed to be a 355 with a mild cam the car moves pretty good but everytime something breaks i have to search and do research to figure out what the hell i need to buy to fix it im not trying to deal with this anymore so i want to take on my first engine build i plan on buying 100% new parts including the block so what i need is proven combos that are streetable but make good power im not looking for a 1000hp twin turbo 383 but something that can get me where i need to go reliably and FAST so please list your combo with part numbers and prices if you can and maybe a list of tools ill need to take this project on as ive never built and engine before ive torn a few down and helped build but this is going to be my first engine build by myself and i need the best bang for the buck i would say i dont wanna spend anymore than 4 grand all together.. maybe 5 though

I wasn't aware that we were supposed to use proper grammar.

 

Atila thanks for the link im still reading it but it looks like you have some pretty interesting stuff there. ill let ya know how it goes and if i run into any problems

 

ok im looking into the second motor build the carbed 383 can u send me a more specific list of parts and where i can buy them? it would be greatly appreciated as my license is revoked for about 26 more days id like to have the swap completed by then... also any recomendations on what i can do to get my stock t5 ready to handle that motor? or would i be better off swapping in a t56 or something along those lines?

 

487 lb-ft from a TPI 5.8L? That's crap ton of torque. It doesn't even look like that wild of a combo. Why did that engine perform so well? Was it the headers?

Following the rules of a written language generally helps other people understand what you're trying to communicate.

 

got ya buddy

 

The excessive static compression was probably about 25 ft-lbs, but the rest is just a properly-matched combination. It wasn't my build, but I duplicated it and my dyno results were within 2%.

 

Everything here can be had from www.summitracing.com, and like I noted in the first post of that thread, the parts that aren't specified won't have much effect on the end results.
You'll have to really baby the T5, you should do the T56 or a TKO. If you must keep the T5, definitely use an aluminum flywheel to help the T5 survive.

 

i dont do a lot of racing just the ocasional burnout and haul *** down an on ramp once in a while so i think ill just keep the t5 and baby it like u said until i have enough for the t56
