85 K10 Build

[85square]

I contemplated going ls or building an old sbc. I had a complete 350 in the garage and a 400 small block in pieces. I decided to go with the 400 just because I feel like you don’t see as many of them as you do a 350, and there’s no replacement for displacement. So I started ordering parts. Everything is new except for the block. Balanced eagle rotating assembly, Aluminum brodix heads, etc. Brought it to my machinist and had it decked, bored .30 and honed making it a 406.

You will like that a lot.
There is something about a 400 sbc that cant be explained.
I have had one in a previous truck.
