SPLN SUX Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 umm you can see the difference in a tall deck sbc with a raised cam.so i dont think its a 400 plus ci motor. Well you only need to go raised deck if you go abouve a 3.75 stroke, you could still make a 409 out of it assuming you had a block that could take a 4.165 bore.

SPLN SUX Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Dude, what most people call a "355" IS a 350 block. There are countless combinations of bores, strokes, machining, parts etc. to turn ANY SBC into almost ANY cubic inch. Some of my best times spent in garages have benn showing "know-it-all" ricers my stock 283 small block. Funny thing is that over the years, that 283 has been everything from a 307 to something north of 390ci. My only point was that the "big secret" engine could be anything from a 13,000 rpm destroked screamer, to a 454ci and above. However, my guess is a steel-headed, street-cammed, 10:1 355. Guess we'll find out in the spring. I sure hope youre not calling me a "know it all ricer"... because you are sorrily mistaken sir. I call a 355 a remaned 350... so MY point, was why use an all ready molested block, when a new unmoddified 350 block would be the better way to start. I guess thats the plauge of the internet... you cant read tone or context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
