You need a 400 main block with a 396 or something like that, some AFR heads, and a powerglide....
this is my dream to have a prostreet supercharged vehicle, for $6,000 plus i could have gotten a super charger for the mustang, for $8500 i got truck , engine, trans & trailer, all i need now to put it on the street is a driveshaft & street tires, maybe a few little things, if the rain would go away maybe i could get this put together.

we thought about going through memphis, on the way back instead of 65, i would have like to seen your car, it was a last minute deal, i did not think i would buy it, but could not pass it up.

Nothing wrong with chasing your dream man. I deal with Chevy motors on a daily basis, I'm a Ford guy but the Chevy push rods are superior IMO when it comes to price, parts, and availability. Many will argue with me on the reasons that is but that's just how the cookie crumbles. I wish you luck with your endeavor looks to be quite fun! Any time you think you'll be around shoot me a PM and I'll give you my number, if it's a week day you can come and tour the shop

Naa stick with the 355 unless you want something to just go down the track with. A blown 400 would have massive heating issues on even short stints.

Nice Sdime, congrats on joining their cult with a grand entrance. Those guys are fanatical.

If ya need tech on SBC stuff, shoot me a PM, what I don't know I can find real easily. SBC's are relatively easy to do though I built my first one from Super Chevy magazine lol.
