Re: Gm crate engine
I'd have to say, I'm curious what is so special about a .040 over 350, as opposed to a stock bore?
I'm liking those stroked 454 seasoned blocks, but I'm only looking for torque and HP up to 4000 RPM; my truck would see very little above that.

Re: Gm crate engine
I was impressed with the video, and was heartened to see that one doesn't have to be ASE certified to get the warranty. I "gave up" my certs, if you will, when I graduated uni and went to work as an engineer. I never stopped working on my vehicles, though. I haven't done an engine swap in about 8 years, but it's just like falling off a bicycle, really.

Re: Gm crate engine
When I was building my 67 I was able to buy a new never used L31 350 SBC. Been happy with my set but a 383ci would be a dream and really fit the purpose you described. Good luck and post your progress.
