I realize this is a budget build, but you are talking about performance heads and a cam, but are going to cheap out on $30 worth of bearings? Not a good idea IMHO.


We took some pictures over to the engine builder today who agreed that they would definitely hold up, however the shininess you are seeing on the main caps signify wear. Chances are they will hold up long term, however we could experience low oil pressure issues. Its safe to say the life of the bearings is diminished. My father can't afford a Stroker rebuild at this time, but has opted to have the entire engine rebuilt with all new bearings. Everything else will get polished up and reinstalled. They are going to swap out the cam and port the stock heads as from what I am told they have worked with these particular heads before and have a formula to get them to make power. Install roller rockers, performance valve job... I told them the goal is 400hp and supposedly this shouldn't be a problem.

We are going to couple that to an LT1 intake manifold, a set of hooker headers and a 2.5in exhaust with magnaflow mufflers and cats. MDS 6AL w/6200 rev limit.
