    to me thats a waste. its different but i love the power you get from todays motors. a 4.8 would even make more HP then that 355 of his. dyno that sucker and i bet it doesnt make any kind of numbers. I never once seen a true budget 350 or 355 lay down numbers that are impressive. take a stock ls1 and cam as he did and it will devistate that 355 all day long with being much smaller cubes!!!


    carbs are for salads and lawnmowers, not mention that truck is not 100% illegal


    not hating on him or his motor just in general i kinda of hate those sbc since they make poop for power for what money. I will say he did research to make things work and that has to exceed any neg comment he receives.

    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    I did a 355 a few years back that put 420hp to the rear wheels and ran 12.85 in a 3900lb firebird through the factory 2.25" exhaust system. It was a simple build, flat tops, mildly worked vortecs and a pretty tame Comp cam topped with a 750cfm holley.

    But imho its no where near the GenIII engines and i wouldnt waste my time even thinking about a genI engine these days.
