I think we have talked about all the problems the 400 SBC has.

Good heads,mech. roller cam, a lot of compression,a 250 shot of N20 and there is your 650 hp.
Yes,it will take a lot of work to keep it running.

without nitrous

O.K, you know more about it than I gave you credit for.
I am just happy you are not building "tuner type" cars.
I still get kids wanting me to build them about once a week.

those cars are the worst thing to hit the face of the earth period. i dont care what they do or how much power they make. i hand out the time slips and the turbo hondas with 10k int hems till run 17's and 16's. the ones that run 11's have 50 k intot hemand they are buttass ugly and sound like a big fart! im sorry but dont get me going on those piles or trash.

Sure it can be done but it would be rather expesive and a stock block would not be my first choice.

ah, nothing 13:5:1 compression a good solid roller, tunnel ram, and nice allum heads cant fix maybe i should let my amc urge out and put a built 390 in the nova i mean i cant be all A** backwards i plane on puttin a main girdle and stud girdles on the motor this time around have even thought about a windage tray

Well,,,,then I have an urge also It's either a 377 or a large journal 327 crank in an overbored 400 block.This doesn't make me a 'closet' bigblock lover does it? I just want the high rpm capability.

Scooter,stud girdle and windage tray 'may' be a must with that build your doing,,,,just my 2 cents.

327 crank in a 400 block you are a crazy one those 348's are movers

Nothing another 100 cubes wouldn't cure!!!!!! Again, building low rpm engines for maximum torque is both cheaper and longer lasting then building hi rpm engines for horsepower.... As for naming a bunch of dudes from the 60's, I was there and probably couldn't remember much more then 10 given a day to think about it.... Don't really see what it has to do with going fast in a quarter mile though?????
