Help me blow my budget on my C4!

[diablizzard]

I emailed them a few days ago because I lost my cam card and I had a response with the card in a few hours.

I do believe it will take awhile for the work to be completed, though.

Thanks for all the info guys, I am going to do a general rebuild + LE package, and the other supporting goodies. Might hold off on the gears.

Just a quick clarification question, when searching for the main, rod bearings, rod bolts etc are they all the same for any gen II sbc? Or is there a reliable kit that contains it all? Summit has something but I don't know if thats recommended.

I already have head gaskets but researching last night the 9966PT I bought from fel pro, are apparently wrong? Their site listed those for a 94 C4 but just googling around, their compressed thickness is wrong and compression will be off.

I used these https://m.summitracing.com/parts/mrg-5716g

along with these parts , the flywheel dowel you shouldn't need, but everything is here, even the gm white spring and 1 piece steel oil pump drive shaft

you MAY need different sized bearings, as you need to measure your rod and main journals with a good micrometer and dial bore gauge. with these parts I set everything to .0022-.0025 clearance.

Awesome I appreciate it thank you. Did you reuse your main cap bolts(if they're included in the above, apologies)? I already have my ARP head bolts, and I need to grab some new intake manifold bolts. Previous owner neglected this poor girl.

I reused stock main cap and rod cap bolts since I have self aligning rockers and didn't want to get rods resized and don't plan on spinning beyond 6300rpm

alrighty, since I am on stock LT1 rockers, not sure if they're self aligning, safe to reuse?

yea, but buy 1.6 roller rockers to gain more of dem horsepowers. I wouldn't cam a car and use stock 1.5 rockers, especially if you're doing ported heads

Definitely 1.6 rockers. Most of the cam cards I've seen, the lift numbers are factored based on 1.6 ratio.
