buy a rotating assembly to make a 298stroker or just buy a livernois 298 stroker?

SUHLeen · October 23rd, 2008, 10:16 AM

I would get the short block. The rotating assembly would be cheaper yes, but did you forget you can sell your old one + it will take a lot less time and work?

I don't have an option now since I blew my block but before I did I contemplated both options and decided when I would be ready to build it to just buy a shortblock

tribaltek · October 23rd, 2008, 10:30 AM

That has been my idea, SUHLeen. I'd be able to sell the old motor (mainly) complete for a good price, so it'll be worth it to me.

SUHLeen · October 23rd, 2008, 10:36 AM

You don't know how hard it is going without my car. Especially knowing what is doing into it lol

usafimj · October 23rd, 2008, 11:32 AM

How much do stock shortblocks sell for if there is nothing wrong with them

tribaltek · October 23rd, 2008, 11:34 AM

No clue, really. I'd be selling mine as a longblock as I'd be moving to livernois (or similar) heads as well.

usafimj · October 23rd, 2008, 11:38 AM

ahh gotcha

SUHLeen · October 23rd, 2008, 01:16 PM

You should be able to get $1-$2k for the long block depending on condition and if anything else is included or not...

tribaltek · October 23rd, 2008, 01:42 PM

I figured about $1800 for the long block, so that sounds about right. It'll almost cover the cost of the new heads, lol.

usafimj · October 23rd, 2008, 01:47 PM

You gonna get new cams or stick the hot rod cams you got now

tribaltek · October 23rd, 2008, 02:53 PM

All depends on if I stay N/A or not. If I can get near 425 RWHP N/A with the stroker, heads and Hot Rod Cams, I'd be satisfied with staying N/A (and it'd be a hell of a lot cheaper).

Then again, I could get closer to 500 RWHP on the stock block with a blower.

PLENTY of time to think it over as I won't have the money for some time now...

usafimj · October 23rd, 2008, 03:00 PM

I say 298 stroker, stage II heads, hot rod cams. Collect additional funds then get a twinscrew. Collect additional fund then 6spd tranny....

Gotta take baby steps all the up

tribaltek · October 23rd, 2008, 03:08 PM

Well, yeah, that could work, but everyone complains about the LSA on these cams and says they are terrible for a supercharger. If I'm going all out and getting a blower, I'm getting the biggest blower cam on the market. I'm sure someone will take the Hot Rods off my hands

usafimj · October 23rd, 2008, 03:13 PM

There have been a handful of people who have succedded with having a blower and hot rod cams. Be different...lol

tribaltek · October 23rd, 2008, 03:51 PM

I am different

Seriously though. I love my cams. I love the chop... the lope... the sound... the high end power gain. But if I'm going to "do it right", I want the absolute best cams I can get for my setup. If I have to lose a little bit of sound to have the right cam, so be it.

Until then, I'm going to enjoy what I have, cause it sounds fucking wonderful

I guess you weren't talking to me SUHLeen.... about waiting... I wrote the book on the longest build
