Simple Easy LS1 Question
I was turning right today, and behind me came a Red LS1 Trans Am with the nasty looking hood.
He was beside me before I got the arrow and I asked him if it was stock *i konw, generic conversation starter* and he kind of laughed and said no,,, "its a 383 stroker"
1. Do LS1's stroke to 383's normally?
and
2. If it WAS a stroker, wouldnt it have been making SOME kind of noise? It was quiet, and I didnt notice ANY distortion at idle that would have led me to believe cams had been swapped...
I just asked if he'd been to the track yet and he said nah, I just said,
"yea, I just went 13.8 last month" and we basically said nice car and later with a wave...
I wanted to say,, too bad you'd lay waste to me by a half second if you were still stock [&:]

RE: Simple Easy LS1 Question
The LT1 350 would stroke to 383. The LS1 I assume would as well being it was on the same block design as I understand it. Good running little motors though I hate to admit it. But nothing in my opinion when compared to a good old 351 Cleveland worked over. My friend has one in a 66 Ford F-100 show truck he runs once every blue moon for fun. Saw him run run it at the track once on street tires. Has ladder bar suspension, lowered down, 373 rear end, C6 tranny with about 4000 invested. Ran 12.79. I kid you not, saw the numbers post after his run and couldn't believe it. Truck weighs 4978 onthe scale at the track. WhatI wouldn't give to drop that engine in my little yellow buggy with a good suspension.

Yes, the LS1 would stroke out to a 383. That's the smallest stroker they make for them I've heard. I agree with you tho, It wouldnt make a whole lot of sense to stroke it, and not do a badass H/C/I setup

the LS1 is 346 ci.
the LS1 is 346 ci.
1. 383ci is the most common stroker kit for LT1s and LS1s.
2. Pushrod engines have only one cam..
3. With a 13.8 he's either full of $hitor can't drive. 383LS1s areeasy mid to low 12 second cars.
