Default Help with LS1 engine

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows a good engine builder in this area that can build an ls1 style engine that has around 400 to 500 hp for my 77 vette.

I would wager both the above shops are at or near the top of the food chain for 'in house' LS builds in the NE

IIRC the '77's had 140hp? only available in front of an automatic

although '79 production peaked at over 90,000 units, triple or x5 recent C5/6 yearly production

May be biased, but Dennis builds a great motor that lasts and will give you miles of smiles. Every motor is hand built in house with full machine shop capabilities across the street. Another plus is our years of experience on early generation Corvettes.

Give us a call and we can go through your options and design a motor per you exact specifications. We are located only 1 1/2 hrs from Rockaway NJ
