Default LS3 416 CID Build

I'm thinking about starting a 416 build on my car. I'd like to do a 416 because in the future when NA isn't enough power, I can bolt on some nitrous and go faster.

Any recommendations for companies that are selling short blocks with core exchange?

Thanks in advance!

Give AES Racing in Elk Grove Village, IL a call. You will be hard pressed to find better customer support or a faster turn around.

I am a difficult person to impress and they do it time and time again.

ERL is the way to go in my opion. Complete built short block with all the best parts and a warranty. I believe the core charge is $1300.00. You can get the stock cylinder sleeve short block for $3800 but I would not do it. I have done the 416 with a factory sleev block and your piston does to get enough support at BTC!

This is what you want.
