A mild 638 will be way more streetable than a supercharged 350 and run just as good. It's all about the inches.

Re: 638 cid Big Block in a 69 CST/10 Shortbed
That truck is just crazy man, I hope mine runs that good when it's done. Thanks for all the technical advice guys, I've never really had experience with hp numbers that high before in a truck, so I wasn't sure what it was gonna take, so now I have a better understanding, THANKS EVERYBODY! I will start a build thread for my 69 Shortbed when I start on the restoration(as soon as it gets warm outside, haha)

Re: 638 cid Big Block in a 69 CST/10 Shortbed
well, I'm not going that crazy with it. I'm gonna have iron heads, mild cam, and decently quiet exhaust on mine. I can't go that crazy with it, I'd kill myself first time out. I'm gonna "stock it out" though. It's gonna be a cruiser, a Saturday night bragger. To the untrained eye with all the 396 badges and mild cam, iron heads, quiet exhaust, and aluminum intake; I can pass it off as a 396. I dunno, haven't made the final decision on whether I wanna put it out there and let the world know that I got the big Dog under the hood or not...still thinking...

Re: 638 cid Big Block in a 69 CST/10 Shortbed
I'll build you one, or I got catalogs you can order a 572 from...lol. No, seriously, 572's are awesome, they are a monster of an engine. My thing is, pick up the last 5 copies of Super Chevy or one of those mags and flip through and look how many 572s are out there these days, a lot of people have them, you don't see too many 638s though. I guess cuz they don't make a 638 crate, but I think the engine should be just as much your creation as your custom vehicle is, if you do all that work to the body and chassis, why would you want to drop in a "Kit-in-a-box" engine? Shouldn't it be as much built by your hands as the vehicle it's going in?

Re: 638 cid Big Block in a 69 CST/10 Shortbed
I enjoy a big block I have two but a friend of mine is sticking an all aluminum 638 in his 57 Chevy pickup I told him he is crazy because the 600Hp 396 he has now scares the hell out of me. Well good luck and I look forward to your progress.
