400 crank/305 block
Has anyone actually built one of these that could comment? I already have the 305 in a vehicle that I don't use,so money wise,and horsepower wise it would be good for what I want to do. I do plan on a 383 in a couple years but for now I want to use the 305 block. This is a mild brackett racer that I am just starting so after building this and getting the suspension,traction,and bugs worked out I'll go 383.
Probably will buy a Scat rotating assembly.Will this need balanced by an engine builder? And I am assuming that it will transplant into a 350 block with just a piston change,when the time comes to go 383??? Anyone do the 400 crank,rods,balancer,flexplate,??? in a 305? And I am assuming that you don't just buy a 400 crank,rods, balancer,flexplate,put it together without a machine shop balance act? Doesn't anybody on this site root for the underdog or try 'different' builds?Hey has that thing gotta Heme in it? No, it's a shevy not heme!
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. ...
