Kinda dissappointed, but kinda not.
Ran some casting numbers today due to the fact my dad found a 327 (Not a 350 as told) in his 40 chevy pickup, and I don't have a 350 in my truck
![]() ![]() But in doing more casting numbers on my other block , I found out I have a ZZ4 Vortec 350 sitting there waiting to be my 383 stroker ![]() |

Re: Kinda dissappointed, but kinda not.
Well I told my dad and he sat there and pondered for a minute and said this. "Atleast i came out better in the deal, I have a 327" and he stuck his tongue out at me. I'm not hacked just kinda, bleh. I can't wait to get started on my ZZ4 though

Re: Kinda dissappointed, but kinda not.
Same here. Baught truck, told it was a 327, turned out to be 307. Not too bad though, I wasn't building a race truck, just a nice daily. Still runs strong.

First thing I always check. Those numbers mean everything to me.

Re: Kinda dissappointed, but kinda not.
I have a 396 sitting in a old flat bottom vdrive boat. The boat is pretty bad off and I was just getting rid of it a chunk at a time. Livrat (Mark) here on the board was looking at it and said he was sure that it wasnt a 396 but a 427.
I ran the numbers and sure enough its a 68 4bolt main 427. Sometimes it works out in a good way. Im keeping this one. |

Re: Kinda dissappointed, but kinda not.
You got lucky CG! I ran the numbers on every truck I have ever bought. Once I called a buddy and he ran them....told me the damn thing was a 305. Later on I checked and it was in fact a 350....missed that one, it was a great running truck!

Re: Kinda dissappointed, but kinda not.
Yesterday I tore down my Big Block 396 and ran the numbers. It is a 69 only 375 HP Block for Chevelles, Nova's and etc. The Big happy surprise was the heads. They are 1965 425HP Corvette only heads. They are on EBAY now and I have already been offered $2,000 for them...They are one of the very rarest heads to find.

Re: Kinda dissappointed, but kinda not.
Thought I had a 454 in my 70 truck. Turned out to be a 396. Figured that that is still a respectable engine so I didn't get too upset.

Re: Kinda dissappointed, but kinda not.
Me too, the PO said it was a 350, turned out to be a smogger 305 out of a late 70's 1/2 ton truck. No wonder it was so slow
![]() No worries, a patriot vortec headed 350 is on the engine stand ready to go in very soon ![]()

I had a block like that one a few years back...the bare block alone is worth over $500. Cool about those heads!

Re: Kinda dissappointed, but kinda not.
the value on those blocks have gone way up! look on ebay for a 3955272 casting and you will see what I mean. $2500 average for a block and crank. $7500 for a complete engine. it's crazy.

Re: Kinda dissappointed, but kinda not.
Monte,
I cant wait to see the pics, Thanks. Hot Rod Magazine(Feb 09) has ZZ4 build that gains 117 HP over stock with heads,cam,intake,carb.Its rated at 430 hp I believe. I like the idea of the 383 myself. Good luck with it !!!

Re: Kinda dissappointed, but kinda not.
