zgeezer Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 Has anyone out there had any experience with building a 400 block with 327 crank and long rods from a 300CI Ford six? Hot Rod did a piece a year or so ago one this combination and called it the 350 chevrolet should have built. They claimed 400+HP and over 400# torque. I've not seen or read about this combination since. However, I do have most of these parts in my backyard. Is it workable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zthang43 Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 i have always wanted to build that motor. At one time I called Keith Black, and they said they could make custom pistons to work with that for $350-$400. It seems pretty do-able; that would be one screamin 350! The other one I'd like to try is a 400 with a 283 crank (3" stroke). I think it would be 326 cubes? Been a while since i figured it out. That would require a custom large journal 283 crank or bearing spacers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
