LT1 Rebuild kit

I don't know of anyone that offers a rebuild "kit" like what you can buy for a regular small block. Summit might have something, but I'm not certain.

Some of our sponsors like VRE and RPM could probably put something together for you.

Summit does offer a rebuild kit for the LT1. Forged pistons, rings, bearings, gaskets, etc. No cam, no rods, no crank though, unless you go with their 383 rebuild kit.

Nice

I used these kits several times. I always upgrade to coated forged pistons, cromoly rings and clevlite bearings. It's a good kit for the money. Everything else is all on personal preference.

hey, thanks for the info I don't think I will do a 383 I just want to rebuild the engine.

summit is the cheapest I found $540 part # is FEM-CSMHP766-300 If u find cheaper let me know. forged pistons, high vol. oil pump etc.
