Which crank?
Is anyone running a 374 or 377 ci engine? I was thinking about building my block with either a 327 3.25 stroke crank or a stock 350 stroke crank which is a 3.5. Bored out to 4.125.
Any input on these setups? |
Why not just do the 383 stroker kit which is basically a 400 crank in a 350 block? Very common set up that makes tons of torque.

I thought about that at first. I really don't think I need all that torque in a passenger car. A truck sure but not in a car.

True. I was thinking of going the other way. a 283 crank in my spare (early) 327 for a 302? It sure would be nice to spin up to 7500-8000 rpm from time to time.
I do like the 383 platform though. Although a 406 runs good too. So it just depends on what you're really looking for in your car. |

Torque is where it's at in a street car,there's nothing like just mashing the pedal and getting instant power.Beats the hell out of rev it up and dump the clutch. I'll take a torque motor over a high winder in a street car all day long and twice on sunday. |
