'93 5.7L L05 worth stroking?


Recommended Posts

Id wanted to stick a V8 in one of my 240s... Ive got a 93 Buick Roadmaster with a 5.7 that needs a valee guide redo, and Im probably gonna get rid of it before long. Im considering pulling the motor and rebuilding it for future use in the Zed. Only thing really holding me back is the fact that its a 93 L05 and not the LT1 that they used in the 94-96 roadmasters. Is it worth stroking out to 383 or should I just scrap it and go find an LT1?

change the heads first.

 

power is in the heads.

 

much better to have a 350 with a good set of heads than a 383 with a stock set.

 

what heads are on your engine? most likely swirl ports which are terrible for making HP.

 

I would start with for a roller block with vortec heads (96 to 98 truck 5.7 engine).
