A 550hp 500 cuin big block would be very mild mannered for street driving.

Wheee!

I wouldn't trust a stock 360 crank at much over 500hp. So right off the bat you are dropping a lot of coin on an LA or Magnum on the rotating assembly. Add in heads, adjustable rockers and shafts and already pushing 4000. That 6.1 hemi probably flows pretty Damn well stock. Is the rotating...

I'm in the same boat. Every clatter, bang, clunk etc that originates from my car makes me worry.

Nice!

AC? We don't need no stinking AC!

What I get a kick out of is all the "cheap China crap, go edelbrock" statements being made by some who have banged edelbrock for poor quality. No matter what you get, check the fit. Sometimes you only pay more for the name...

Was the original cam degreed when installed?

You didn't check valce to piston clearance when assembling the motor?

I know you guys hate these cams, but if he is going for sound... thumpr or whiplash. Lol

Common on hyper pistons with standard ring gapping. Top ring locks up and breaks off the ring land.

Pull plugs and check color too.

I wonder if the air gap isn't the best choice period. You definitely won't lose anything besides hood clearance, but have room to grow down the road if you decide on increasing the performance of your motor.

Is air cleaner to hood clearance an issue??? That air gap may be too tall for some applications.

It all depends on combination and expectations. If you are going for all out, 500+hp small block a 6pack is a poor choice. A well thought street build with a 6pack won't leave much, if anything, on the table. On 8k drag screamer, yeah...

My question is why all the trouble for a cast crank with the same stroke as a 360? You could probably find a rebuildable 360 for less than the crank you are looking at.

I have an Ecurve on my 406 in the lil red. Neat unit.

Sucks, man. Try to find the silver lining.

Lets not just automatically say no way. Define stock 360. Stock bottom end or everything? What other mods to drivetrain? Weight saving measures? There was a guy with a 8.5:1 340 cuda with 3.91 gears that broke into the 12s on stock suspension with a whiplash. Can't imagine a reg cab, short...

All the NOS in the world won't help if you are spinning your wheels now.

Run it like it is until you save enough to do it right.

Did any of the shops look for why your bearings went? Obviously something was and probably still is wrong.

Sounds to me your mind is made and you're looking for validation! ;) do what makes you happy.

Some clear clearancing will likely need to be done. Stock head ain't gonna cut it, and will restrict your build. Think about it. They would restrict a healthy stock stroke small block. In parts alone you'll be about 1000-1200 for rods and crank. Then start working over your heads $600-1000...

Is it fair to compare a normal sbc to a race inspired aftermarket sbm? Wasnt the only production line SBM that could reliably handle 4 bolt the TA 340?

340 FTW! Lol. What ever makes your putter flutter, dood. If you have the cash to do a hemi and want it bad enough, do it.

Some people I know don't even use zinc additives. I don't know if it is because they are running mild RV cams in small block GM products, but I start talking about additive and they get a deer in the headlight look like,"what ever dude".

We are all doomed when the zombies come The roller vs flat tappet is almost like the iron heads vs aluminum debate. There will never be a consensus. I will say that the magnum stroker I have was nice to fire up and not have to worry about break in. I have nightmares about this 440, but really...
