i did not do much 1965 396 this was over 20 years ago and dyno were not easy to find or deck top dynos. yes you can put the 4.00 crank in one like i said before but you will need to get custom pistons or work over a set of 396 trw forged pistons use a454 fly wheel and damper this will be 427 or close to it. i do not know bore size you have right now . a roller cam like i said will help the hp and the heads and if you go with a big cam you will have to have cr and like i said this may be tuff when small dome low cr pistons are over $400 so just with the roller cam roller rockers and pistons this dos not give you much for block crank intake all machine work. i see you think that it like a 350?? it is not IN NO WAY shape or form it is a big block chevy rods are longer heads are big evey things are bigger that is why it called a big blockLast edited by pat mccarthy; 02-09-2006 at 08:11 AM.
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
