355? a 350 bored 30 over is a 355 correct? what exactly is gained from going to a 355 from a 350, other than 5ci. Is there a significant power difference? just trying to decide if its worth it

bores look pretty good. i had just planned on getting new pistons and figured for $90 i could have it bored, but if i can reuse my stock pistons that will save me a couple hundred bucks. does anybody see a problem with reusing the stock pistons?

lol i know. im not that dumb
i was meaning just skip out on boring it totally. i just figured getting new pistons i might as well bore it b/c pistons are the same price and its only $90 to have it bored Trending Topics

a 6" rod 355 has one of the best piston to rod ratio's of all the SBC motors..... My old 355 with a 6" eagle h-beam, stock crank, SRP forged pistons with stage II heads, ported manifold, and a 236/242 hydraulic roller (and pretty much all the bolt ons) made 437 RWHP (about 500 at the flywheel) for a reasonably cheap total cost..... think i might have had about 7500 bucks in that motor.....
went 10.40@131 on a one fiddy shot too....
355's can be animals if built right with a good combo of parts......

what is stock rod length? to change rod length does anything have to be machined or is it just swap new rods/pistons in place of stock? excuse my ignorance. this is my first build
