Destroked Small Block?

Right....and my thoughts were if he's destroking a engine, it would make sense to use a larger bore, and shorter stroke to achieve his desired CID. Interesting discussion, would be better if we knew what cubic inches he's shooting for

YES YES YES!

I certainly would use the biggest bore possible to take advantage of the beauty! I agree that makes sense. And best power.

The only thing I’m missing is the cars weight. This I think is an unknown. And we are a bit aways from finding out since he has to still do a cage and etc.... work on the car.

Generally, I don’t see the 318 blocks limited bore size as an advantage BUT wise and crafty work could yield interesting results.

Once the cars weight is estimated or known, then the cubic inch chase begins. How it is finalized, maybe a single or multi factor advantage or hindering.
