395 vrs. 418 395 vrs. 418
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am contimplating rebuilding my 395 and using a ls2 block making a 418, would it be worth it? I will use my heads only open the chambers up for the bigger bore. They are LQ9s with 2.08 valves worked by Sunset motors in Lubbock. I believe they flowed about 310 @ 600. I will probaqbly go with a bigger cam but I still want drivability. I have a 240/244 610 112 ls now. I have the 90 mm Fast already and TPIS loong tube 1 3/4" headers.
The max I have seen on a dyno is 489 rwhp and 470 rwtq. ave is 480 and 460.
So what do you guys think is it worth it or not? and what cam?
