    Motor rebuild questions.

    @Mike , Those are the basic prices they gave me. If it needs more, then it will cost more. I'm sure they are a good machine shop and will fix everything that needs to be fixed with the blocks. I'm here for advice and opinion. I've read everything that was posted. Everyone posts a different...

    Motor rebuild questions.

    Couple more posts there after before I posted. I'll ask the machine shop. There already told me that the rebuild kit would be more then if I get the $280 kit from summit. They said that's basically the kit they get (brands different) and mark it up. They said after they clean and check the...

    Motor rebuild questions.

    That was my last motor. I got it used in Cali. when I first built the car and used it. Nothing but issues. Then I paid a lot of money and it rebuilt by a machine shop when I moved to Nebraska and after that nothing but problem. Then all my changes to it and still nothing but problems. That...

    Motor rebuild questions.

    @Mike , If I go with .30 over and with the Promaxx 2169 heads. Cam (Still up in the air. I called comp they gave me a few that they said would work for me.) I want to run 87 gas. Should I go with dish or flat pistons? Does it matter?

    Motor rebuild questions.

    Just from what guys where saying I didn't want to do the .30 over. I could go .10 over. Sucks because it's the same price. If I didn't need new pistons. Would be saving a little there. I was going to have them check the block, cylinders and hone, decked, and new cam bearings, and freeze plugs...

    The machine shop said they'll check it all for me. That way I get it back ready to go back together. Comp has a few can choices for me. I'll start ordering parts after the machine shop.

    Motor rebuild questions.

    Going to rebuild it. Not going to bore it. I'll have the block cleaned and checked. I think I'll just keep the stock pistons. Use them aluminum heads from my first post.

    Motor rebuild questions.

    I'm not doing anything. I haven't been here in few days. Got more replies then I expected. :) Thank you for all the replies. I got a block yesterday. The couple of blocks that were in the 1992's were crap. I got one out of a 1988 suburban. It has a flat tapped cam but with provisions for a...

    Lt1 in a T?

    I'm 39 and I do it. Think it's how I was brought up. Family always getting new cars. Getting close to a 100 (oh might break at any time) time to get rid of it and get a new one. I've moved past it some what. My rav4 has a 134, on it. It runs super good. Yet in the back of my mind I keep thinking...

    Lt1 in a T?

    Screaming MetalMetal: just re-read your post. LT1 has the crappy omni spark dist on the front of the motor. It still uses spark plugs. No coil packs. Unless there was a version that used coil packs. I thought coil packs came with the ls1.

    Lt1 in a T?

    No, I was thinking of swapping the motor to an LT-1. I can pick up a used long block here for under 160. I was going to change the intake and put in a dist. But after further research I found that the water pump and balancer would stick out to far to fit in with my current setup. John: My car...

    Lt1 in a T?

    Anyone here have an LT1 in their T? Want to know if the 1.63 ports on the sprint style headers will fit the D-ports. Some pics would be nice. Thank you.
