For what its worth you can't quite go that far with a stock 350 block.

Adam:
Really? I've heard of SB 427's...

If you cant use the 350 block, what do you have to do?

I see a mighty mouse in my future...;28

Vette Obsessed:
I hear you Adam. ;-)

From what I understand 420ci is about as far as you can take a regular 350 block.  Cost is more than most strokers (like 383's) due to the machining needed to clearance the rotating assembly in the block (and the rotating assembly needed to make this combo possible).

If you use a regular GM 400 block (still a small block) you can go to 427ci.

If you use an aftermarket block, depending on what type of block you can go as high as 472ci from what I understand.

(I have been told that the C5R blocks can be taken out as far as 491ci!).

As usual, it all comes down to how much you want to spend.

Sorry Ray45 - didn't mean to hijack your thread.

Adam:
Damn,:b4

And it sounds like these 400 blocks are gonna be rarer than big blocks.

I originally wanted to just get a used SB for cheap- and work on it and eventually put it in.
