Re: 383 Stroker Vs. 454 Big Block

Forget SBC or BBC, go with a LS based motor and call it good. Thee isn't very many if any sbc or bbc parts that can stand up to the power a LS motor can handle. I am starting to build a 6.0l based turbo motor for my truck using a stock block and stock heads. The only reason I am not using the stock crank and rods is bc I am getting a stroker kit for it. The stock 6.0l crank can handle upwards of 1000hp. If I can stay out of the throttle when I get my truck done I should be able to squeeze 15-20 MPG out of it easily and be close to running 10s in the 1/4. I just have to get the power to the ground, and it is possible it just takes the right combination of parts.
