Chevy Motors???

does anyone know anything about chevy motors...i know i am outta place, but if anyone knows of a place like this one, let me know.

Only thing I know about chev's is only by something with a 350 motor car,truck or my mobile home

ya ya, we all can't two wheel it all the time, so fire away heck its only 4 twinkies conjoined, it will flaber gast some confuse others, and strain the brain of the rest.

water cooled though

alright, my buddy wants to do a low budget build up on a 1999 5.3 Chevy Silverado extended cab 2wd. He wants to buy a used block and bore it to an LS1...he thinks he can skip the cam. Bore/stroke change heads???
I think his main concern is the bore and strength of the cylinder walls afterwards...i guess he's goin for a sleeper truck, because you won't ever guess it when you see it...two tone silver, stock look...computer programmer and beefed up rearend already with rebuilt transmission

yes change the cam, I see where he is trying to avoid the lop of the engine, but to bore and stroke, with out caming and giving it air is like paying 8 bucks for a beer. nonsense

i think we got him convinced to change the cam...this damn thing might fly if he can get it to hook up...i think he's lookin for a supercharger too

most newer 350 blocks can only be bored out .030 , that makes it a 355 no power in that, if you make it a stroker motor you have to change the crank and rods and have machine work done , that will make it a 383. you want to change the heads, the cam and add a super charger not mention all the other things you will need to change to make it all work......this is not even close to a low budget build....thousands of dollars involved....your friend might want to look into a brand new turn key crate motor or find a used preformance 350....cars get wrecked but motors are still good....people upgrade to big blocks etc. I hope this helps

I never thought my first post would be about car motors...lol

problem is its a 5.3, not 5.7...says he can get the block for next to nothing

sorry the 2ND post thew me off....I still dont believe this can be called a low budget build even with a free block....good luck though

Ever been to Sturgis

it needs a cam maybe not a radical one but at lest an improvement over stock.

i have told all my buddies about this site...its nice to have a place to get project support and input...and i can't believe how much input we've got over this silly chevy project....thanks again everyone
