Re: 68 project
Larry,
Here is my opinion man. You will be fine with your 2 bolt block, even with the 3.750 stroke. I would use ARP studs instead of the stock bolts and you will need to line hone the mains. At your power level, it will be plenty strong.

but just remember you can likely find a short block 4 bolt 350 for the price of those caps!

Re: 68 project
Thanks for all the input, a bit of history on this block I have is that it was just recently already built and is freshly bored to 4.030, it still has the crosshatching showing. So by using this I will actually be saving some on machine work.

Re: 68 project
hey Larry, question if your going to run a 700R4 or a 400 tranny i think they are the same length ....can you take a measurement for me from either the forward cab mount rear rivet hole to the first rivet hole for the trans cross member I'm running a cpp trans member...thats the only one I'm not quite sure where it should be positioned or a measurement from the engine cradle back or any position/measurement to get me lined up my plan is to attach all the cross members to one rail then bring the other rail in to attach so I'm not sliding them in on an angle making scratches....if that makes any sense
thanks Jess

Re: 68 project
No updates right now, putting my next strategic plan together as I am hitting another expensive hump in the road as I put my motor and tranny package together. Somehow seems to be everything I want is at least 600 or more.

Re: 68 project
If I could find one that looked identical to the factory speedo yes, but everything electronic you see for these trucks looks absolutely nothing like factory guages. I am trying to keep mainly factory look on the dashboard. Most of the electronic guages are not to cheap neither.

Re: 68 project
Everything costs money no matter what we do. Oh well. Cost to just spin a wrench. I always thought racing was expensive but sometimes our trucks can be costly. Lol. At least you'll be able to drive your truck more than just on a Saturday.

Re: 68 project
Larry, I just read over your build thread. You have come a long way man. Your truck is really looking great. If you are ever down Tennessee way, drop by and see Chad and me.
Good luck bud. POP
