and here is your 396 [http://www.golenengineservice.com/html/lt1\_lt4.html#LTlong](http://www.golenengineservice.com/html/lt1_lt4.html#LTlong) with that motor and a 6 speed with your stock 10 bolt i would assume a very modest 10 percent drivetrain loss which comes out to 468rwhp. Thats if you havent gone to a 12 bolt or a 9inch by that point, and if your 6 speed is still holding up and you havent converted to a turbo350/400 yet. but like i said goodluck ---

I dont see any 550rwhp N/A LT1 under a 408 C.I. Motor possible. Just drop a LS3 in it…or sell it and get a F-body that already has a LS2/LS6 or LS3 in them…their everywhere on ls1tech for cheap… ---

Im not going with the golen long block… im doing the 396 short block with afr heads bc ive heard that they are the best flowing heads out there, and a much more agressive cam than what comes in in the 396 long block bc that motor only put down 520bhp. SO i guess I should say that it wouldnt be a problem hitting 550whp but i deff think with: Golen 396 short block AFR Heads very agressive came …that i should be able to come close to the low 500whp range ---
