Project 396 complete
Finally its finished. The motor was built by Brian at LT1 Motorsports. Guys let me tell you, if you can get a 396 built for your car go a head and do it. It has tons of power. Crusing at 35-40mph if I just tap the throttle half way the tires will break loose. Boy I can't wait until it is fully broken in. Just wanted to let you guys know how it came out.

Sharky Guam. It was a lot!!!!!!!! I could have bought a brand new Kawasaki ZX-12 instead, but I would rather have something fast that has doors on each side of me.

Re: Project 396 complete (Drewdog)
:cool: :cool: 383 was good enough for me. 396 has some clearance issues I don't want to have to worry about and some other things since this is my daily driver for right now.

Re: Project 396 complete (Glock'94)
Thanks Red-y. Next fast n furious LOL. Thanks Drewdog.
Glock'94 the clearance was not a worry for me Brian at LT1 motorsports has built a few of these for camaro's and runs one personally. And he told me he has never had a problem with them and i am sure his machinest knows the block very well by now. Brian is a lil curious to see what mine will do when i get the 44w/3:73's since this is the 1st vette he has built one for.
