Dash48 Posted May 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Well I am new to building engines I have never done it before I thought I needed a 350 block I was told a 4-bolt is better than the two bolt because it will hold the crank in better. My pistons in my previous motor are 40 over what happened was during the freeze I had water in the block and it cracked the block a perfectly good motor with good Pistons good cam good crank and my block cracked because of the freeze so I thought it would be easy to take the Pistons crank and Cam and put it in another 350 block 40 over I'm not sure what is much difference between a two-bolt and a 4-bolt what do you have available? I have the block pulled out disassembled it only has the Pistons Cam and crank left it's in the back of my pickup any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket55 Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 I have a 350 2-bolt main bored 0.030 over with rotating assembly installed. Motor was being built for a road course car and my interest changed to oval racing. I have SCCA approved heads, intake, cam and lifters to go with it as well, if you interested.
