Hmmm.... you mean one of those 3.8 blocks which have recieved a 4.2L truck crank, 6.125 Scat H-beam rods and custom forged pistons.
I think I have seen one somewhere.
Sounds a lot like what I've got under the hood of my 91

I don't think those cranks can hold 600HP.

There seems to be one under the hood of my 95 as well, .040 over also.
Is there no forged option? And what kind of compression is it making? How bout some other info. How much hp gain? Any problems?
great info! i am just kickin some stuff around. i am not gonna be the guy that rips a motor apart weekly. i really only wanna do it once. or once in awhile. i love to drive my car. i rarely hit WOT. if i do though, i don't wanna worry about breakin stuff. i want it to be smooth and powerfull. reliable. i really wanna be able to whoop just about any car that pulls up beside me too. within reason so, would this be a total package option? or just not worth it for my situation? and any other advice is greatly appreciated!
must be nice to have money
What does money have to do with it? I completedly trashed my entire bottom end on the last failure on the my 3.8 and was going to have to get new rods and pistons anyway, so why not get the 4.2 kit.
Not really much more money since I was going to get all new forged items for the 3.8 anyway
Machine work, heads, larger valves, MPIII, 25% OD, Snow injection kit, Long tube headers, etc; are already done, so this was the next step for me.
Have a great day!
