Hey guys, I am fairly new and i have couple questions. I have a 70 Camaro RS and i was gunna get a RamJet 350 for it but i have been lookin into the 396 and thinkin of putting the RamJet 502 fuel injection system on it.

First Question, if i did get the 396 and put the fuel injection system on it where could i find the right Electronic Control Modual for it?

And, out of the two engines which would be a better choice to put in my car?

 

a lot of it depends on what you are going to do with the car really. i mean either way both choices are what you like more. with the big block, most likely your gas mileage will be hurt significantly, although a big block is more badass. a 350 is a cheap way to make a nice street rod, parts are easier to find and cheaper, a more friendly project car engine. all around the big block will cost more. the differences is stock, the big block will make much more torque and horsepower, and have a higher potential also. if your willing to spend more and sacrafice gas mileage, go with the big block. if your jsut making an easy on the wallet machine that gets decent mileage and offers good performance, and spend less on parts, go with the small block. its really an opinion type of question. do what you would rather do really.

 

a 396 is a big block, I think the 502 intake would bolt on, a bored and stroked 350 is a 383...

 

actually a 383 is a 350 bored .060 over and has a SB 400 Crank in it

 

a 383 is a 350 with a 400 crank, bored .030 over. a 396 is the smallest big block, but is a big block.

 

if ur gunna go with a big block get a 454

 

especially if you want to spend almost twice as much. unless you plan on highly tinkering with this motor, i would stick with a simple 350, especially if you stroke it.

 

You guys are correct about the 396, just kinda forgot about them.

 

As for the smallest big block, I believe there was a 366 cu. in. big block used mostly in trucks.

 

BACK IN THE DAY THERE WAS A 348 C.I.D BIG BLOCK CHEVY.NOT EXACTLY SURE ABOUT THE YEAR.
