My plans were to next build a high compression 408 engine but funds are a little low so I’m jumping on a project I bought back in 2016 that was to good to pass up. Located about 80-100 miles from home I looked at and bought a set of .040 over Wiseco Pistons, Crower billet rods, roller cam and lifters, ATI damper, modified oil pan and pick up, stock 360 crank cut down to Chevy size and all internally balanced, and a few other goodies. When I went to check things out we BS’d for a couple of hours like racers do and he ended up offering me a 1972 360 block that this assembly was out of. He did some beautiful oiling mods and bronze bushed the lifter bores. I have about 1100.00 in everything as it sits. I will be micing the crank and having it magnafluxed while I clean up the parts and hone the block. I will get new rings and bearings and probably have around 1500.00 in the short block. I will top it off with a set of Edelbrock heads I ported and installed 2.05 intake valves in and a ported Victor340. Should run 9.80-9.90’s in the quarter and 6.30 in the 1/8.
Subscribed. Need pics showing where all those lines are going. We could some of these mods to the guitar Jones oiling mods. Love that dual pickup.
