    Unhappy over my head

     



    Hi everyone,

    Well took some advice from a friend. Brought a truck engine 366. Was excited because it was a four bolt main and was thinking of building a stroker engine. I was told by a machinist that it is all torque and not much horse power. Like a lot of people I don,t have the money to waste. Any advice?

    If you can get a 366 to rev above 4000 rpm, you are lucky...............not a hi perf engine . Find a 396.

    Is a 366 a tall deck block?? Should be able to put a long arm stroker in it. Not a chebbie guy, so don't listen to me.
