Bare Bones Budget 400 Build

That thought has actually crossed my mind for the 361. Did you know Oldsmobile 455 pistons would give 0 deck in that combo?
Following along on RRR's post 361's are actually 4.125 bore.

Yeah and then there's this post. Small cube or not, they're still a big block. I'd even do a 350 just to piss the Chevy guys off.

PHR 361 "Forgotten Motor" Build - 618HP, 520 Torque - Good Read!
