LT1 Rebuild/Cam Question(s)
Eventually the snow will stop and it'll be warm enough to pull things apart ... I hope! In the mean time, I'm trying to make a list of parts to order for my upcoming rebuild. Primary goals are to 1) get the car running again (blown HG), so no long drawn out builds 2) make some good power, somewhere between 350 - 400rwhp N/A (if possible, no nitrous).. Car will mainly be a weekend fun car for cruises and occasional Friday night T&T, so it should be reliable. Although tempting, not looking to sink my life savings so sticking with the stockish cubes
So far I've been thinking the following:
Pull motor, send block for hot tank/inspection to clean HG crap out and verify no cracks or other issues. While there, new main/rod/cam bearings, polish crank, re-ring pistons.
