Guest Mpower280 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 My name is Terry and I am a new member here. I need some help locating a well built V8 mount kit. I have a 1978 280z that will hopfully soon have a 393 Stroker pushing about 550hp when it complete. Do any of you guys have a new or used kit for sale that can compete with that much power? Any help will not go overlooked. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5foot2 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Any help will not go overlooked. Thank you. I find this, interesting.... Are you a King of some small land in old Europe? Will I gain the title of Duke or Earl if I assist you in your quest to stuff 550 hp of raw "393" power into your Z? By the way, did you mean 383? If not what's the 393 based in, it's bore and stroke, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageskaterkid Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 thanks, i thought i was stupid or sumthing, i wasn't aware of a 393, i was possibly thinking it was a 383 bored out even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mpower280 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 No, its a 383 bored out even larger. It came out of a Corvette. I'll have all the specs when MPG is finished assembling it. So I got JTR so far, it seems like a good set up, but does anyone know how close to the firewall it mounts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pparaska Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 From the original 265 to the 283, then 327, then 350, then 400 Gen I SBC and then to the LT1 Gen II, the blocks all have the same basic outer dimensions and mountings. How far back to mount would be the same for all of these, (all things kept the same) except the LT1 makes it easier to go farther back since there's no distributor. There's a common Furd 393 stroker from the 351, not heard of a 393 SBC setup. I guess if you take a 350 block .060" over, and a 3.800" stroke crank (like GM uses in it's 383 crate engines), you'd get 393.56 cubic inches.

Mikelly Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Once you slot the Xmember holes, you can slide the motor all the way back to within 1/4inch of the firewall... This thread is being locked... SEARCH. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
