just out of interest, how much are VN-VT 304 blocks going for. obviously the clearanced and roller blocks are more, but how much do you reckon a block would go around?
and i've heard speed pro pistons to suit 350 stroker cranks go for around $9 from summit racing in the US, is this right? they are only cast after all.
If nissan motorsport is nismo, then doesn't that make honda motorsport Homo?

i checked up on the pistons, and this is correct for cast pistons, $11 ea. Forgies are $35 ea, I beams are $260, H beam rods are $429 all in USD, but couple that with an eagle 355 crank, and you have a very good bottom end that costs F*$$ all.

Maybe they dont trust the aussie 4spd or trimatic and 10 bolt to handle 350 cubes?

Yeah, but consider an original SLR5000, Brock Commodore, Sandman or original auto HT/HG GTS. You couldn't fit the Top loader (or Muncie even stronger) without butchering the body. And an M21 is already stressed enough. So in that case the 308 rebuild make |

Yes, but the Holden engine has a better standard head, but having said that good heads for the SBC are not dear. For serious hp the SBC has a much better aftermarket industry. If it was for a street car though you cant really go past a stroked Holden engi |

that's right, also to convert the motor to EFI costs far less. you don't even need the Bananas anymore, just get a 4bbl carby style throttlebody and bolt it to the existing manifold. http://forum.streetcommo...howthread.php?t=8519521
