Not looking to start ****, just clarification, no BS.
This is true IMO. While the advantages are there for this or that thing, it takes extremes to see any benefit or take that advantage.
Making a mention of such advantages or disadvantages is one thing but to preach it as why you should or should not use a particular engine/stroke etc…. Is kind of ridiculous at most levels of engine building to I’d guess an easy 95% of this board and the usage of that percentage builds an engine for.
Lord knows I’ll more than likely not get there myself since the expense of an extreme build is beyond my meager pocket depth.
Anytime anybody brings up a 340 vs 360 question/thread it always turns into a debacle. To split hairs on such items when building a typical street machine or a in general “Hop Up” engine plan is insane. But people love to do it. They can’t help themselves.
Everyone breaks out there slide rulers, abacus’s, scientific calculators, old articles from the old Tyne greats, drag runners, circle track guys, enduro guys, etc right on down the line and profess there accomplishments as if there the right and only way to go about engine building is one of the most funniest things I constantly read over and over again.
Then there’s the outrageous claims like someone has been there and done that down to the engineering level of why and what happens and all I see is **** talking morons making no sense at all.
I’ve had the good fortune of speaking with men that have experimented with the old “ alternative fuel” (Nitro methane) back in the ‘50’s and how they did what they did and why. I wouldn’t apply half of what they did today but yet some guys here will state it as if it’s the way to do things.
Nooooo thank you!
When it comes to a small block build, IMO, just have at it and have freakin fun while you do it.
Follow the 5C rule and you’ll be good to go.
