Hey guys just wanted to post some pictures of the 385 stroker I built. This was my first LT1 I have built actually it's the first fuel injected engine I have built. I purchased all the parts to build this engine from members on this forum with the exception of the rusted block and the forged rotating assembly. Special thanks firebird_1995 who was basically a one stop shop used parts store. The tips and tricks throughout this form made this an easy build. Engine is complete and once I find torque converter and get the tune done by moe the engine will be put back in the z28 and we will se what she can do.

Man I could have sold you a rotating assembly also! It's still sitting around. Build looks great. Should be a beast!

You did a neat and clean job putting the engine together. Looks like you painted a lot of parts. What type of paint did you use?

Just high temp shaker can. It always held up for me as long as metal was properly prepped and cleaned.
