Welcome to HRBB

Really? how about this for an idea,,, Big Block Chevy

Your 283 order is too tall for this cat,,,it can be done but I hope you have extremely deep pockets

hahahahahahaha

i don't want another big block have too many of them.
not concerned with the money part
i just want a high rev screamer to put on a powerglide w/ 4:56 in to my 85 camaro

laugh all you want, cause the last forum i was on told me i could put a 96 LT1 and 4L60E in a 88 chevy truck and well i drive it all the time now its my profile pic
i will do this too with or without help

er couldn't

hahahahahahaha

We've gotten so many of this exact same question over the years but it still brings laughs. Think in these terms: More cubic inches make more power, its easier to reach 500 horses with a 350 than a 302 because it's 50 cubic inches bigger. And yes, while a 327 block and a 283 crank makes a 302, there are no "302" rods, as all the generation 1 small blocks used the same 5.7 inch rod except the 400 which used 5.565 rods. You want a 500 horse 302? You'll need about $6000 at a minimum and it won't be street driveable.

hahahahahahaha

thank you double vision
see i wasn't asking for price i was asking can it be done and if people had ideas. i build toys all day and i like difficult. i am not worried about the cost.

Ah well building almost any small block isn't really difficult until you start stuffing 4 inch stroke cranks in'em then it gets a little complicated.
If you want to build a high revver by all means go for it. They sound great really revved up there, no arguements there.

and actually there are 302 rods the camaro ran a 302 in the late 60's large journal and small i have already found that the rods i need are from a 66 camaro 302. now do i bore the block .125 to run 205 160's and domed pistons for higher compression or stick with the largest valves i can run in the smaller cylinder. and just so you know i am not joking i will have this done and rolling by spring

if you would like to see some of the crazy **** we build check us out on facebook RC Auto Care

Let us know when you find those 66 Camaro rods........
