this is going to be my next block http://www.dartheads.com/products/en...ll-blocks.html
im going to try and get 454 cid of if i can find a crank i may go over that...if your gonna spent the time and money you may as well spend a few more and go bigger..

That thought has crossed my mind, if the funds allow I will def go for a better block, if not I may just grab another gm block and go, put the 350 in the corner for back up

Have you checked out any of the crate motors Summit or Jeg's, don't remember what drive you are running, that may be your limiting factor.

have thought about it but it would almost be to easy lol, then i couldnt get on here and ***** about all my problems :lolhit:

im running an alpha but dont really care if i blow the drive, i can buy a lot of sei drives for what it would cost to switch to bravo. plus im easy on it out of the hole and in the rough
