let me know if you need something. I got a nice engine lift if you need one too.

 

[GRGT1994]

That should be tons of fun!

BTW, can I ask why you went 331 instead of 347?

A 331 has less rod angle. This translates into less stress being placed on the engine's mains. And on the engine in general. For these little 302 blocks, that can go a long way to avoid splitting.

Now some peeps might say that that's an old school way of thinking and that 347's are different these days, but the physics of it make sense. Because the side walls of the block experience less load, the block will last longer.

This is why a lot of N/A guys on the stock block build 347s, but when you factor in a power adder and are getting towards the danger zone of 450-500 rwhp, the 331 helps to prolong your block.

and that would be my reasoning for the 331.

 

[VibrantRedGT]

And my reasoning for a 347.

let me know if you need something. I got a nice engine lift if you need one too.

If you still have it NEXT year, I may need to borrow it, along with a few good mechanics
