It's a nice grind, but too big for what I am wanting, plus it will require a dual spring which is more money yet.
Bummer deal hope you feel better tomorrow. Drink lots of water.Had a bad day today. Felt bad all day long, but Kitty helped me get the block on the stand tonight. May do another video in a few days.

I just put that very same cam, small block version, in a 340. I called Comp and asked them to tighten up the 110 to a 108. The fee was minimal.It's a nice grind, but too big for what I am wanting, plus it will require a dual spring which is more money yet.
make sure you install a nasty dirty , oil pump and use AMC lifters, we want less than 20 pounds of oil pressure LOL
seriously though, I think an actual price tally for parts is in order. I've put together good running big blocks for less than a grand. I will definitely be following this

But I agree, for what you were saying you want, that cam is a bit of a whopper by compare.

I have wanted to do a stock stroke 400 for years.Even on the cheap I would mill the heads and do as much porting as I could.I like the old Lunati streetmaster grinds.I just put the smallest one in my low compression 360 truck motor.
The smallest big block one I see is 225 @.050 on a 108.Advance it enough and it may be ok.
Hey Rob. That crank should match the main bearings. When I bought that block the crank was in it. I’m ashamed to say it was spotless and spun real smooth back then.All I was able to do today is measure the crank. 2.623 on the mains (std.) and 2.362 on the rods (.020). I already had .010 mains in the block I got from Roy and .std. rod bearings form an old project, but oh well. LOL At least the crank is "usable".

Yeah I’m sorry. My intentions with that block was to build a 451 with a 440 crank. So I wasn’t to concern with that crank.
What about the other 400 you got from me? The crank I mean.
@DrEamer is also sending a load of stuff another member has graciously paid for, so this project is getting a lot of support.
I’m headed to Perry Saturday but the compressor will have to wait till next trip. I have a load of parts going north.
I'm glad to be part of this if just in a small way. Like I said in my other thread, there is about the Mopar community that stands out above the rest. I wish you were closer, I have a 400 crank that I would just give you, but for the price of shipping, you can machine what you have.
Key word right there! Useable! Home run baby!
