416 Build (Questions)
After learning that my car spun a main bearing the choice was take it to a machine shop to get cleaned up and rebuilt or buy a new short block. I went ahead and bought a new 416 stroked short block and will be dropping it in late next week pending on arrival.
I will also be installing a cam once it is speced out with shop. What else should I be thinking about since I am this far?
What is trully the most cost effective way besides cam/meth (which I will have) in gaining fuel at this point? Already have lt4 injectors and hpfp.
Never thought it would come to this when I rolled it off the lot. 😂

What do you want to know about the LT5? I can tell you the DI injectors and HPFP are the same exact ones used in the LT4. I don’t have aby info on the part numbers for the PFI setup. I do have the part number for the ZR1 low side fuel pump which IS slightly higher flowing than the Z06 if you need it. Currently unknown if it is plug and play though.
