LT1 Twin Turbo Options?
New line of thought here: As it looks like my '78 won't bring the money I am looking for, I might just redirect and finish it instead of moving onto another project. If I do that, I want to build on what I already have, an LT1. What do you guys think of a LT1 350 with 6" rods? This would yield around a 1.73 rod/stroke ratio. Drop the compression to a decent level for two hairdryers (what would that be, by the way) and intercool. What heads would I want to get to hit that same 600 hp number with the TT? Could I get by with stock heads fully ported, or should I spend the money on aftermarket heads?

you can get 600 hp with the ported forth gen LT1 heads and turbocharging, no problem at all.
If 600 hp is your power goal then it is definetly attainable with turbocharging, porting & polishing the LT1 heads and of course a new cam, tuning n such to compliment the rest.
