Did you ever price the crate motors???  They are ready to run and are reasonable.  

Check www.gmpartsdir ect.com

[Be4u]

Yeah but we want to build it ourselves...sa ves a little money unless we mess up lol :bigeyes;

What do y'all think about this? Would we want the dish pistons to drop the compression?

Only if you are going to turbo it or supercharge it.

No more than 9:1 compression on iron heads and 10-10:5 on aluminum heads. This is depends on your combustion chamber volume. What heads are you going to use? There's way to many small block variations out there. Usually it's 58, 64 and 72 cc's.

I say go for it man.  Building a 350 is way easier then building a turbo 6.  With the right combo of heads and cam you should be fine.  your clearances are a little looser also so you have some room for error.....kind a.

The 305 HO in the Nonte SS and Camaros were factory 9.5:1 with iron heads.

Dont know what kind of heads yet....any suggestions? Any questions I should send the guy about this setup?

Oh, and DAMNIT! I forgot to add a link.

It would be nice to get an Eagle stroked Buick V6 shortblock for $1700!

[87natty]

Are you going to juice the motor with nitrous? If so, those hyper pistons won't last. Seems like way too much $ though. I wouldn't pay $1,700 for a small block short block.

Try www.enginekits .com for deals on their balanced kits. Use all the money you save on a badass set of heads.

[TSM Girl]

That is a decent price. Check with them to find out how much for a complete short block. A road trip to TN may be fun too.

Too bad they are not close to us, I can have Bryan check on it for ya.

[Be4u]

Nah, I dont think nitrous would be involved.

I thought that short block was kinda high.

[Be4u]

I'm kinda confused on exactly what to buy.

He wants a 383 stroker and we want to build it ourselves. Street/Strip. We want to start with the short block and get that completed.

You should be able to get one with forged pistons for that price.

[Top Speed]

Yeah, assembled.  I think you guys would be happier with the longevity of a professionally assembled short block vs. one you did yourself. Unless you just feel like doing it yourself.  You can bolt the heads on for sure!

We got a video and book to look at. Were going to actually decide if were going to build it or not after we watch the vid.
