Eddie- Here's my 2 cents. I have read the other posts so far and everything stated has been true. I did the BB conversion on my car a few years ago. I have wanted those big valve covers in my engine compartment for as long as I can remember. Truthfully, you can make plenty of horsepower from a smallblock. The main difference will be torque. If I were just looking to go fast I should have stayed with a small block. I don't regret what I've done, but I was after the old-school look. With today's heads and big inch short blocks, you can go a long way and keep all your external parts.

Hey guys, I have a 70' chevelle with just a 350 engine and I was "thinking" of putting a bigger engine with more HP than my 350. I found an auction for a 396 engine on eBay, which is still up for bids. From what it is described here in the website, Is it a "worth" engine to bid on to buy or should I look for something else?? I'm more of a rookie with engines. One of my friends said I should just stay with my 350, but just "bore it over"--I don't remember how much bore over he recommended. Is this a better way to go or just buy the right bigger engine? Here is the site: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=019&item=2900071 94799&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Thanks Eddie -- ___________________________________________________ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com/
