Chrysler LA / NASCAR 355 cu. in. crank shaft
Possibly. A race block from is not within my wallet. Sleeving a worn out 340 is also out of the wallets reach. Not as expensive as a race block, but not cheap ether. A lot depends on a few factors and what your willing to do or give up in the case of destroking a 360 with bearing spacers. A 360 @ .030 = 365 cubic inches. This kit delivers 352 @ 3.45 X 4.03.
365 - 352 = 13 cubic inches. OK, not a huge thing.
But less is less.
I thought about using the 352 pistons on a 360 crank. The math works like:
3.58 - 3.45 = .130. Divide this by 2 which is .065 higher (and lower) the piston is traveling.
The question now becomes, what is my blocks deck height, where will the pistons sit in the block and the pistons pin to crown distance. Having not measured anything or made any moves to do anything, yet….
It does leave a few good questions on the table.
