Thanks!

It would most likely have gone quicker revving it higher, but we were always concerned about the valvetrain in that engine. It was a comp cams 306 hydraulic roller, with stock lifters, stock pushrods, and even stock stamped steel rocker arms on stock 3/8" studs. We chassis dyno'd it once, and there was an 80 hp loss from 6300 to 6700 RPM. I think the port in the head was at its limit with the cid and RPM. The car probably would've been quicker with a 355 in it VS the 383, keeping all of the induction parts the same.

@@hotrods1083 Damn... very clear and legitimate response 👌🏼. Nice ride, either way man

9.6X @ 140 or so

In a station wagon

@@Hateline It's a drag car with wagon shell

Thanks, I dyno’d it on a stingy dyno with the slicks on. It would probably show considerably more on radial tires and with a more mellow rear gear in it. It was a 100% stock LT1 style T56 in this video (just an aftermarket clutch). As far as tuning goes, I wouldn’t even consider not doing a 24X conversion or an aftermarket EFI system. Finding a decent tuner that has equipment for an LT1 this day in age is tough for sure

@@hotrods1083 I'd def have to guess it would make more than that on most dyno's. Stock heads? There are stroker LT's running 9's n/a, but I'm sure they're approaching 480w, or even more, on an avg dyno jet.

@@mavsformulaful I'd guess it would've shown 380-400rwhp on regular tires with, with less rear gear, and on a happier dyno. Dyno numbers are not really comparable from car to car, or dyno to dyno. ET/MPH at a given weight is what really tells the story. I think my car would've needed another 125-150hp, another 5-600 usable rpm, and possibly more rear gear to run 9s N/A at 3150lbs.

Sorry for the delayed response, it was a comp cams 306, stock stamped steel rockers

@@hotrods1083 it's ok and thank you

mine would do about 124-125mph at 6,900- 7,000 rpm in 4th, 28" slick. cruises at 2,200 rpm @75, really a cool combo.

9.6X, around 140mph. Big block nomad, def a cool car

Thanks, sounds like there is more in your car for sure! tough to find someone whos willing to tune them, if I were gonna keep this dinosaur id def do a 24X LS1 conversion just to alleviate that issue.

3025 in this video, 2950 now and falling

hotrods1083 awesome, I have a 94 z28. Rebuilt 350 ci. Stock pistons and crank, but aftermarket rods with arp 2000 bolts. Saving up for afr heads. My short block has a comp xfi 280 cam. 230/236 .570/.576 lift. I don't use opti anymore. I have hei dizzy with converted single plane and a mean street 800 Fitech for fuel. Hoping to run around 11.0 with tci 3500 stall.

Nice, should run good! whats it weigh? 11.0 would need a really good working car with that kind of power. I actually just pulled the LT1 out of this car this weekend. Going to put it in my 1986 K30 pickup with a 4bbl intake and hei distributor.

hotrods1083 about 3500 with me

I think you will find 11.0 tough to come by @ 3500lbs, but best of luck!

I hear ya, it gets outta control real fast. If you're willing to cut a little and give up the creature comforts, you can get light enough to run your number with 350-375rwhp, mine made 330rwhp (dyno'd on slicks). Not hard at all to get these things to hook hard. If you need any help or tips with chassis set up lemme know, id be glad to share info.

Honestly for what you'd have into a built LT1, you could do a budget 6.0 swap with a cam and make as much if not more power. Mine had a 383 in it from a while ago, I did the heads, cam was in it already etc... Lloyd elliot is tough to beat for the money as far as top end parts go, I would think with one of his packages you can get 10 second power in a well sorted out car and still be pretty drivable. In the same respect, a cam swapped 6.0 with stock unported 799 pickup truck heads will easily run as fast (or faster) than a built LT1 stroker. Tuning the LT1 is another big drawback, only a couple of people doing mailorder tunes, other options are 24X conversion with an LS1 computer or carb/distributor.

If you are on a budget there is nothing wrong with an LT1. I ported my own heads and put a small cam in it with valve springs that i got off a guy on kijiji cheap, deleted emissions and A/C gutted interrior, ebay headers and jones 3"exh off ebay which i welded up myself and the car already had 3.73's and a posi/k&n intake. We have a terrible altitude here and the big shot racers say we lose a second from sea level i ran a 12.811@106.50mph with out a tune. Cam is a crane 227 and im pretty sure first gear is going in the 4l60e oh i had a Yank ss2800 converter

mann.. i would just go carborated with the lt1 because then you can tune it youself.. or if you dont know how. there is for sure more people out there that know how to tune a carborator and hei distributer, than an obd1 computer for the lt1. my 385 lt1 is caborated. has a vic jr single plane intake and 850 carb. makes 570hp 490tq at the motor

@Jonathan & Ashley Vasquez some peoples definition of "so much work" is different than others i guess lol don't be mad cuz you lazy and it was very easy to do.. if you know how

What 2as in other lane that ran away looked like foreign car

no spray. Its a mild, 10.5:1 383 LT1, stock home ported heads, stock intake and throttle body, 1 3/4" long tube headers with a comp cams 306 cam. has bullet mufflers right off the collectors, T56 trans (stock) with ram powergrip hd clutch. rear is a 12 bolt with spool and 4.56 gears on 28x10.5 stiff sideall hoosier slicks with tubes. weighs 3130 lbs

@@hotrods1083 Cool vid man and looks really fun. Also very cool for you to reply to everyone in an honest and sincere manner!

Thanks, hoping to get it out one more time before the season is over. An 11.2x would be awesome
