Looking at this 331 short block for sale, here's what it says about it:
-Cylinder Block 5.0 Roller Cam Block-Thermal Cleaned, Shot Blasted And Mag Tested Block Is Bored And Honed With Torque Plate And Square Decked In BHJ Fixture With CBN Cutter.
-Crankshaft New Nodular Crankshaft 3.250" Stroke
Connecting Rods New 5140 Forged I-Beam Connecting Rods w/ ARP Bolts And Silicon Bronze Bushings for Full Floating Pins 5.700"
-Pistons NEW KB FHR Forged Pistons w/ 11cc Flat 4 Relief For 9.5:1 With 60cc Heads
-Bearings Clevite Rod & Main Bearings
-Piston Rings Akerly & Childs Extreme Moly Ring Set
-Cam Bearings Durabond
-Freeze Plugs & Galley Plugs Pioneer- All are installed
-Balance Digitally Balanced to 28.2 oz External Balance
What do you guys think? I was thinking of this short block and maybe a trick flow kit. Can the pistons be used with the tflow heads?(thought they had to be fly cut but not sure). I will probably stay n/a for now maybe down the line add boost, novi 1000 or standard vortech. How much hp do you think this short block could handle? The price is just right(will be a little over $1500), I know you get what you pay for so thats why I wanted to see what you guys thought about it. I'm still keeping Rick in mind for building me a block. Also, I'm looking for a streetable car that will be my daily driver for the most part. Would like to make over 350 n/a.
