O-M-G!
Slow down there champ! The post looks like a teenager babbling on while stoned, ... and overly excited!
LMAO, I’m goons answer your questions one by one but what I need from you is to settle down and think of a route to take after you read my post answers.
If the ‘75 isn’t a good candidate to rebuild, ANY 360 is fine to use.
I don’t think anybody can ball park a short block built for you because prices change from machinist to machinist, area to area, state to state.
But! A 360 block can be cheap as $100 and a 340 block can be around $600-&700 bucks or more. Also the piston choice can vary a lot because the 340 can have a larger bore way past a .060 IF the core is good. That adds cost. And a good chunk.
Stick with the 360 because the 318 has a sub 4.00 bore which equals more money.
I don’t know who told you that **** but shoot them on my behalf so the world can be a better place with less stupid people in it. Thank you.
Mbofh are about the same price to build except 318 pistons can be more expensive. Method of balancing can be an issue and add cost if you start moving away from stock methods.
The 318 is 42 cubes smaller. “42!”
The ability to rev is controlled by 3 things, camshaft profile, adequate spring pressure to control the valves, proper fuel and spark management (state of tune)
Probably, but not by much.
You can purchase a crate engine. Check out blueprint engines, we have a member here from Blue Print that posts on a regular basis. And/or ATK.
If you still want to build your own engine, you can add in a stroker kit for not much more of a standard rebuild. You can click on the Hughesengines banner above and check out there stroker packages for what ever block you get. (Except the 273.)
