Well as some of you know the old engine I had was a rip off from the builder.
So I started with what I had left for parts on the old build and bought a standard bore 400 block. Just found out that I got ripped again!!! the number 3 cap does not go to this block. I know I could installed new caps line bore and hone. But really for all of that extra work I am done!!!!

I bought a new Dart SHP block, along with a new crank. so here is the parts line up.

CP forged bullet pistons -1 CC dome
RHS 220 heads 72 cc
Howards 294/300 cam ( 241/247 @ .050) 545/565 lift
Howards retro hyd roller lifters
H beam cap screw scat rods
Scat crank.
Smith Bros push rods
Standard ratio roller rockers
Single plane high rise PP intake
750 race demon carb
MSD box and dist

We are setting comp ratio to 10.8.1 ..pump gas engine

Marv,... I know you told me so about the block, all good brother. SO the next time we see each other lets make it at the speed way..

I tried to use a stock block and in the end nothing but a huge waste of time. Unless you know that the engine ran, and did not spin the mains, or break the crank in a 400 the SHP block will save you some heart ache and money.

SO any one need a standard bore block that needs to have new caps on it and line bored?? 509 block, standard bore magged and ready to go LMAO first 100 bucks takes it.
