phantom dually · 06-12-2003, 10:54 PM

Your scaring me with that 1/2" ratchet on the crank bolt. I have a friend that broke his off. That would suck!!!!

MylilBowTie · 06-12-2003, 10:55 PM

lol Lookie at that bore and the skinny line of metal in between the cylinders... DATss a 400

makes a 350 look like a 305 with way the bore and closeness of the cylinders. Looking good

**swervin ervin** · 06-12-2003, 11:03 PM

Sweet. Makes me want to start searching for a good 400 core.

What'cha think you gonna have it when completed? I'm nosey.

MylilBowTie · 06-12-2003, 11:17 PM

Ive seen a buncha 400s on ebay but they all 4 bolt mains
I only seen one questionable 400 sbc with 2 bolt mains but it looked like it sat outside for a while and got rust all over it.

CHP built one a couple years ago with the same cam and heads and they got 439 hp and 497 ft/lbs only difference is i'm using the solid version of the cam so hopefully i'll be closer to 450 hp and 500+ ft/lbs. plus i'll be spayin it a little bit.

BigRed · 06-13-2003, 12:05 AM

Very nice! I'm just a tad jealous.

TIMSPEED · 06-13-2003, 12:34 AM

Wow, I've never really seen a 400sbc up close like that. That's BEARLY any material in between the bores!!

PHOENIX · 06-13-2003, 12:46 AM

That is a thin looking wall

I think what Mike was asking, was how much money?

Ryan, looks good, when will it be running?
Did you get the radiator shroud alright?

Great pics, keep us up to date!
