    LT1 Crank Journals

    Is it worth Polishing/ Reworking my LT1 crank Journals by hand or should I just get it machined?

    Reason why is that one of my rod bearings has the Hour glass affect and grooved pretty good and the other bearings are pretty grooved too...

    I know everyone is gonna say "well get a new crank". Well I wish I could. Trust me if I could, I'd be going with a stroker kit.

    Josh, word on the street is an LS1 is a good way to fix a dead LT1. Dunno just what I heard.
    All posts from the above author are expected to be 100% BS. Thank you and have a nice day.

    Yup that is true

    Unless you go bigger than 383 its not worth the stupid amount of cash to go stroker. Snatch up that lt4 crank and call it a day. Use that ridiculous amount of cash for the stroker kit and put it towards a rear end and trans.
