Cyeah even if you don't gap your own rings, never hurts to have some extra knowledge.

Good luck! I think you will be fine with the 355, just means you gotta rev it more which is fun anyway

I cant wait to talk to the machinist!! Its like waiting for a trip to Disney as a kid!! And Joel i still haven't made up my mind big things on my mind are forged or cast crank, 383 or 355, 4 bolt or studded 2 bolt. But the big thing is not spending to much money as to not loose valuable garage fund money.
well there is 80k on the car but there are signs that this motor has been out before i bought the carOriginally posted by nascarnate326 View Post1999 z28 Bright Blue Metallic 1 of 10

If you don't go forged keep the stock crank. Its stronger than aftermarket cast cranks.Originally posted by Yoshi94sigpicOriginally posted by ryanwarby01Comment

Now see that's the thing i cant find any comparisons online. Cast vs stock. But the thing is my crank may need more work than its worth. What are everyone's thoughts on the strength of the stock crank?Originally posted by Fox Slaughter View Post1999 z28 Bright Blue Metallic 1 of 10

Then buy a OEM crank.
Do a search on like Eagle cast cranks and stuff for LT1s.Originally posted by Yoshi94sigpicOriginally posted by ryanwarby01Comment
