I mean at what point does it matter what's powering it?
As long as it goes and it goes good...

Or 1200 on e85 through 241 heads and a btr 2 shit... On 26lbs of china airLmao right.
Truck 5.3 with those budget ported 243s and a btr3 cam would net 425ish hp
OP did you ever consider a 351W? An SN95 408+ stroker with a 6 speed was one of my teenage dream cars.
Anyhow can’t go wrong with the LS. Look forward to the build

Oh wtf!! LolComing from someone who just built a 351w based engine, I would say stick with the LS. A stock block 351w is a little bit stronger than a 302 block, but it still has 2 bolt mains. Cap walk and harmonics are still a problem at higher RPM. The LS will be able to reliably handle a bit more power. Parts availability will be better for the LS and a lot of parts will be cheaper.

Is it possible to have the block machined to accept 4 bolt mains? IIRC a 2 bolt main SBC block that’s been machined for splayed bolts is a better solution than a factory 4 bolt main.
shit i think i remember seeing this car for sale back in like 2010. had racing seats in it if its the same one im thinking of
I dunno that you're going to get a ton of money for a turbo 3800 car, a lot of them don't really go for much unless there's really been a lot done to it. Sure more than a wrecked car, but are you going to get enough to justify selling it after the time/money you've put into it?I've been kickin around tryin to sell my turbo 3800 car since it's all but finished and isn't gonna grenade if i send it down the road. And puttin the ls out of a truck I've got for the firebird I blew up. Thing is I can't decide what the better move is. Do I even dare take a 3800 to play with real race cars? Probably not. And say a guy gets to a place where the da isn't so hot and the cars strugglin to make power it might hurt ets pretty bad? But I'm not real sure what the thing would be worth. It'd be nice to free up a lil fundamental for the future tho and surely I'd get more for it than I would a torn apart firebird and a wrecked truck tho...
