chances are this will never happen, im just entertaining ideas for my car when i get around to being able to play with it a bit. With any luck, this time next year depending on what happens with school. Ive enrolled at an automotive class at the firist or second ranked school in Missouri, i think its in the top 5 nationwide. so not bad.

Ultimately ( or dream plan) would be at least a 383. Maybe a small shot of NOS, turbo or s/c ( still decideing which) tko-600 transmission, with a 12 bolt 3.42 rear end. Like i said, its just the ultimate plan, more like a dream of mine. By looking around at MOST people with cars like mine and dreams like mine. Ill end up leaving it alone till im 25 and selling it because i have a child or two and a wife, housepayments, and working all the time. i hope it wont come to that, but well see.

 

to the guy who said a 396 is a 402, not until 1969 actually

 

you could make a 454 SB. it's like a $25,000 kit. i've only seen one, but damn it was bad!!!

 

396 would be the ****!

 

a 454 small block?? how?! i would never dream of it, espically if its 25k.

I agree though, a 396 would be sweet. At least i think it would be.

 

i don't know how it's made, but i know they usually make around 900hp all motor

 

thats sick

 

actually the 454 is a little diff block, cast slightly bigger, World Products makes it, and it costs 11 grand oil pan to carb, builds around 650 hp in the trim they send to you, has like 10:1 compression, forged internals, nice motor

 

Actualy if its a bigger casting its a big block. The production big blocks are wider that the small blocks. Its nothing special from WP.
World products small blocks biggest bore is 4.185". If you use a 3.875" stroke it will make 426.4ci

 

nah,its a small block, has a slightly taller deck height than standard, and is around a quarter inch longer to provide a little rigidity with the large bore, it is not a big block though, its def a small block, uses sbc heads, headers, etc. the bore is 4.250"x4.000" here is a link

btw, compression is 10.5:, not 11:1, my bad and as for the other bore you speak of, thats for the aluminum blocks, not the cast blocks
