Thats interesting,,Im curious what the cost involved would be,and if hard blocking creates a significant cooling problem.
Heres a question I have,I just came across a pile of fe engines,6 in all,1965 merc 390,couple truck 390's,a 330HD and an extra 330HD steel crank.These engines were all pulled as oil burners 20 yrs ago and stored in doors.
Would there be any merit in boring one of the truck blocks to say 4.13 {428} and having one of the 330 billet cranks lightened and offset for BBC rods ? Im think a 350 to 370 FE at 8500 rpm would be a thrill in a cobra.
I'd love input on this. thanks,,Tim
Oh,,ps is a 360 good for anything ?
