Well, I have just about given up on my internally stock LT1. I have tried almost everything imagineable to get rid of the knock @ 4000 rpms. It ran 13.466 pulling 6* of timing due to the knock. I noticed everytime it knocks 6* or more, the check gauges light comes on bright, and goes away. Everything appers fine; oil pressure, voltage, etc...
So, I think it is time for a rebuild, or new engine. My goals are pro turbo kit 8-~16psi. Not sure if I want a 355 or 383.
Should I work this block, and get the proper internals.... or just buy an engine already setup for this? It is going to be a few months, but I am weighing my options right now. Any thoughts?
