Dang...

Yeah like; My 360 was 4.040 bore so that makes it a 367, and I used to leave it at that. But at carshows, I got so much flak for not building a 340 that eventually, I just started calling it a stroked 340; which ended all that.
Early on, I had trouble with the engine locking up after shut down, so I tore the engine down and increased the ring gaps, and honed her out to 4.044, so then it became a 367.9. I never bothered to upgrade my sig. So I confess to that. lol.
No big deal cuz the side of my block still says 360 on it.

But I also confess that people who come to FABO with their problems and fail to mention that their engine is a stroker, that bothers me. Cuz in some situations this becomes real important.
I got caught a couple of times, so now I just ask.

While I'm confessing,
I may as well say that a 230* cammed 11/1, 368(lol) is more engine than any Street A-body needs. I mean it goes 93mph in the Eighth for crying out loud!, and it shakes the neighborhood at 6AM, sucks gas at a pretty high rate, even with a clutch and 3.55s, and it easily lays rubber until it gets to any speed-limit in Manitoba.
Do you need that?
No, I suppose not ........ but it sure is fun.

If there is a next engine for me, it will be a lil smaller, Ima thinking 345, or maybe a 3.58 stroked 318=349, or maybe I'll just install a smaller cam in the 367 er 368 .......
What has this got to do with this thread?
Well, I'm still gonna rev mine to 7000, same as I always have ...... since 1999. and
I have this 1968/69 318 in my stockpile, of which it has been said, can safely be taken to 4.00, equals 333 cubes ............. sounds about right, don't you think? What do you think I should call it? Well Ima thinking that will depend on if I lose or if I win ....... kidding; I don't streetrace.
I think I'll call it a 5.4 liter .........
