Re: kool

definitely "kool".

I heard in the vid valves tapping...aren't roller lifts impossibly quiet?
and the plug holes unsleeved...shows it is not high compression.

that "little" engine has room to go...

yes it is.
but I want an ls for my monty SS
I have 5-6k ('89-90 money) in the 355 internal parts(short block)
this will take the ls heads, and I can use the th400/350/200r4 that I already have...
the motor mounts and other parts that hook right up to the SS
just need ls headers
it's a win win
I get a forged bottom with the best parts, and the ls top end...
the ls9 s/c fits under the hood

Yes it is what? an aftermarket block yes I know it is an aftermarket block with an Ls head bolt set up for ls heads

just wondering if you have this 355 why not spend some money on good heads for that?

Re: kool

I would've thought that if this was such a killer combo, we would see more of them being built and used .....

Just get a set of "budget" aluminum heads and use what you have....IMO

or just build an LS, its not expensive to put one in a chevy. conversion mounts are $60 and a trans spacer is $40

Re: kool

also it (the block) has 400 mains so you can not use your 355 crank so after 3000 for a block then a good crank
just buy good heads or build a Ls
