More on the "small FE" idea....

The problem there, Ricky, is that would put you in the custom piston department.  The turn-on for me in using the 352/360 crank is that you can machine the crank to enable use of shelf 390 pistons.  On another note, I changed my induction plan....I'm going to use a Jay B adapter and  351C EFI upper and lower set-up from Trick Flow.  At 380 inches, I'm going to use the 75mm (1500-5500) upper.  I'm aiming for a usable truck combo, and I think that is the best way to get a broad, flat band out of it.

Well, This is getting more exciting ( for me anyway ), this is exactly the intake set-up I am planning for my large truck motor.

Are you still having pistons made for the thin core 58-64 blocks? Usually only .020 to .030 more safe bore left after a 4.050 bore.

We've got 4.035 bore stroker kits on the shelf.  I am still pondering 352 pistons, but I am liking the 400 rod deal also, which can use standard bore 390 shelf pistons as a +.050 for a 4" block.  Still have not ruled out 352 stock replacements, but really looking at the demand.....
