349 CI on the cheap
Thanks MADDART for your input but this is about doing something a little different , I don't want a 4" stroke for this block because I drive this car everywhere and the big stroke motors tend to have longevity problems due to the massive sidewall pressures caused by the over stroke , this build is about a compromise by adding a little more stroke through a 360 crank and a little more compression to gain a whole lot more power and torque , the over bore questions are about cleanup more than displacement and for the record I am looking at all forged internals on this baby so your cast comments aren't relevent either . In the end if I wanted to go that big I would scrap the numbers matching motor I have and buy a cheap crate motor but I like being able to point to the serial pad on the block when I say " this is the 318 the car was built with "as Apu would say "thank you please to being coming again"
