    nice, are you going to leave it at 396 or stroke it to a higher amount?

    better?

    Dude, for real slow your typing down or atleast pre-read what you type befoe posting it. It can be understandable but, also makes you come across Incompetent. No, offense meant just giving you constructive Criticism. :P

    Kit kat thanks...You can ask anyone that knows me and they'll tell ya that bowtie's run deep in my veins as well as all of my family...So if any of you guys know someone that needs a good shortblock I will be selling my 327 shortblock...it will be a 327 block, I will put a new 350 steel journal crank since the one in it now has had a helicore in it...flat top pistons and a lunati 292 cam...I will more than likely keep my aluminum small block heads and use them on the 383 I have on the engine stand at home now for something down the road ...Just have to wait and see for that one as all the internals for it have already been ordered...The original plan was to run the 327 out of my camaro for now in the chevelle till I could get the 383 completed since the 327 is still a running motor...but now that I have the big block I will go that route since I love the look of a 70 chevelle with a bbc underneath the hood!!...I already have the new motor for the camaro so I will not have much use for the 327 since I have like 5 motors now LOL!!...I called my uncle that has the 496 tonight and he has a crank and rods for the 396 well his stuff is actually for a 427 but with a little machine work will fit in the 396 I will .30 over and run prolly just flat tops with some small chambered heads like 64cc and get the comp. up to about 10.5:1 which will still be ok on 93 pump gas...but now its just to order some pistons this week and order a camshaft and find some heads...so if anyone knows of any big block parts let me know!...Thanks guys and I will be posting pictures alot here pretty soon..since race season has approached and I'm still trying to finish tieing up loose ends so I can play...Work has just been ridiculously busy and I had some other set backs in life that kept not being myself for a while!!...but that has all been taken care of and I'm ready to hit it hard this year!!...I'll keep everyone informed
