Stock bottom end build

**Z28_Jay** · 01-29-2017, 03:23 PM

Well as fate had it I cracked the block when my cam broke so now I'm considering dropping in a stock block. It has 42k original miles on it out of a Vette so already a 4 bolt main. I guess I'm just more concerned about it living with a little over 400rwhp and about a 150 shot. Should I go ARP rod bolts or just leave everything as is?

If it looks good inside let it eat. I'm all about budget. Just rebuilt mine for less than 200 bux.

I'll definitely inspect everything before I drop it in I have to swap the pan anyway just a little piece of mind before I go beating on it.

Not a bad deal, I'll give it some time I might just go forged rods and pistons before I put it all together just for security if I want to up the shot a bit. Not sure if I want to use this cc306 I have or switch to the Lunati 231/239 grind I've had my eye on.

I'd be more concerned about the pistons than the rod bolts.

If it gets you up and going and your fine with the chance that it might not live to long let it eat.
