Thanks for the replys, some really good info to see. I went to look at two different 400 blocks this week, only to find when I got there they were 440's. I bought both of them, so it looks like I'm going back with a RB. That probably will be less hassle than trying to sort out a new combo. I took a block to the machine shop fri and told them to clean it and bore it +.030". If it cleans up there I'll, I'll order the rest of the parts then.
As much as I would like to go to a bigger (read stroker) engine, it really isn't what I need. I have a 10.90 car, so no need in putting a 9.90 engine in it. ( actually runs 10.40's in good conditions) I'm thinking build the same engine that I lost, only with a non-OEM crank and possibly Alum mains.
Anyone got a good stock stroke aftermarket crank they're willing to part with?
Thanks,
Brian
