IA 377 Stroker and TH400 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-11-2011, 01:20 AM

I am going to sell my 377 stroker that's in my 40 ford. The engine was built by Parker Racing Engines in Newton, Ia. The engine has less than 20,000 miles on it since being built. I recently put a new Doug Herbert hydraulic cam and lifters, Holley aluminum intake, 600cfm holley carb, new HV HP oil pump, HD pump shaft, pick up tube, flex plate, new double roller timing chain and gears, and new gaskets and seals. The TH400 has a B&M shift kit in it and a new stall converter. It's supposed to be a 2k but it's more like 1200-1500. The trans shifts fine. You can hear the engine run and even ride in the car. I won't remove them until they're sold. It comes with everything. Valve covers, air cleaner, pullies, PS pump, and alt. $1200 OBO local pick up or can arrange delivery or meet you some where. It is a 2 bolt 010 block, water pump and fuel pump is new as well. The reason for the upgrades was I thought the engine in this car was swapped by the group that restored the car after my uncle passed away. I purchased all the parts and we removed it from the car and found out it was in fact the 377 stroker. I went a head and installed all the new stuff seeing how we already had it apart. Now I'm going with a Hemi think. This is an old pic before the new air cleaner, valve covers, and intake. I'll get a updated pic tomorrow with the flame aluminum valve covers, air cleaner, and chevy orange paint.

Here are current pics of it from tonight.

I've been asked how it runs and I am not the right one to ask.

I'm used to building 500-750hp diesel trucks so everything feels poochie to me. This engine runs really well. You can pass cars without kicking it down and it will get out of control if you nail it from a stop. It doesn't leak oil, it doesn't burn it. I'm unsure of the heads as in what they are but I can remove a valve cover if some one wants to know.
