Possibly some details on the 355 build? Who did your short block? What valvetrain did you go with?

eagle crank and rods, speed pro -5cc flat tops, corvette alum heads, stock valvetrain for now. I melted 2 pistons and spun number 8 rod bearing on the 130k shortblock. I basically needed to rebuild it ASAP as its my DD. I have a powerdyne 4.5 kit but im not if ill put it back on. Thanks

did you go forged or no? balanced or no? Looks like a nice engine there. Get the valvetrain swapped and a cam and your good to go.

Not A bad setup. I went with forged Pistons and Rods on my re-build setup. What Hood is that?
