yeah i was talking more about the longblocks..... but the short block can have alot to do with HP.... rod length, dead on bore sizes down to the ten thousandth matched with the pistons, weight of the parts used (weight in the rotating assy)....
The heads/cam are more critical which is why I was talking about the longblocks.. I think Golen's longblocks were getting criticized when someone with a 383 made like way below 350 hp.....

Personaly have seen 40lbs loss of tq from a short block change. Pistion rings are the #1 fricition point of the pistion engine. We did a crazy ring test where we ran motored single cyd. with many kinds of ring types. Some of them ended up being plastic, moly, crome-moly, stainless, and many others. Also found out the 2nd ring looked to be more friction then the upper.
YES the short block can make HP in some ways.

Here is what I found out via email directly from pro grams
" Are you planning on using the stock dipstick? If so, then you will need a set of our SB350C12 main caps. They are a 12.5 degree main bearing cap that is designed for street and strip use where factory dipsticks are used. You can also use a set of our SB350C22’s and they will also clear. If you are planning on putting a sight glass in the pan to check oil level, you can use a set of SB350CSA2’s. These are our most popular caps by far but do interfere with the dipstick. A set includes caps 2, 3 & 4. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions."
