need some serious help, im going to be building one of the two motors, here is the background info, Vehicle: 2001 Chevy S-10, plans: curiser and racer Hopes: 11.6*. Ok you know what I want to do, here is my whole ordeal, my dad thinks that ill get in too deep if i build the 400 from a bare block with all the bits and pieces and thinks I should buy an all together LT1, and rebuild that, however I do not see any difference, as with the lt1 ill be building it from crank up anyways, my question is, what do I have a better chance to get into the 11's with? what way is cheaper? (btw the 400 would also be bored and or stroked with big cam) and what would be the difference as to parts between the both? wouldnt it be cheaper to buy the 400 block, the rotating assembly, and the heads as opposed to the complete LT1, but the rotating assembley, port and polish heads, new cam over old cam ect? is it really that much of a difference?
