unless you plan on spraying or running a ridiculously high compression ration a hyper piston will do the job.

just tell people you have a 355 screw it IMO, they all look the same on the outside and a 355 isn't gonna really perform any different than a 350 all things being equal. it's not like you're claiming you have a 383/396/408/etc. and rocking a 305. never spend money to impress other because in the end you're the one that has to pay the bills.

not to impress, its just kind of personal i guess. Im into the hole muscle car thing because of my dad. He has a 79 z28 that he bought brand new in 79 and still has it. The car only has 44 org. miles and org. paint. He has a 353 block in his and I guess i just want to be around the same area as him. Might sound stupid to some. but like i said just how i want my car to be.

if you want to be different build a 357, very few people run something like that. Its only a 40 over build, summit should have the forged piston, ring, etc combo's.

Its not going to make any difference really but 1-2hp and the fact that you can say "its a 357".
