400 Chevy Block or Shortblock wanted
Looking for a 1970-1975 400 chevy rebuildable shortblock (block and crank) preferably std bore that can go .030 over. Want to build a sleeper motor for 60's musclecar.
Thanks, Paul |
400 parts
I have a crank if you need it.
|
Several blocks on craigslist around here, including a '70 4 bolt block. I can get links if you are interested. Most are around $400. Kind of far away for you.
|
My challenge with the 400 blocks is that most I'be seen have the short stamp pad and kinda gives away the sleeper part, as well as the funky balancer.
I think the TFS heads that are made to look like "fuelie" heads on a 1960's block with an internally balanced stroker crank would be the sleeper to build. |
Here is a NOS short block I've been seeing on craigslist.https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/pt...636341662.html

My thinking was to use lightweight flat top pistons, lightweight capscrew type 5.7" rods, aftermarket 3.75" stroke crank with larger counterweights for the longer rods, internally balanced. Throw on a set of old 292 ported turbo heads or I have some aluminum twisted wedge heads, off road solid flat tappet cam, possibly a stock Z-28 or edelbrock air-gap intake with 1-3/4" headers to make some nice torque and Hp. I would think 425-440 hp and 430-450 ft-lbs of torque would be possible. This would be fun in a nice gen 1 Camaro, with an M20 and 3.73 gears.

If you have some links, send them my way.
