Hi Pete, If you are going to use your existing 350 block, you could put a 4.00" stroke in it and make a 408.2 (409). I have done several, and with a super ram and some AFR 195's it would be a torque monster.


I did kick this around a couple of years ago, but was afraid the additional stroke would cause build headaches. A 396 requires so much more grinding than a 383, and I assumed a 4 inch stroke would be near impossible. I imagine block fill, and a slim set of I Beam rods at a minimum?
