    Yet another 408 stroker recipe thread

    So, I'm looking ahead to 2024 and have decided to shelve the idea of putting a 400/440 in the SSP cuz too many other things need to be changed out for a SB-BB swap. I'm thinking stroking the 360LA that's in it will give me what I'm looking for: a lower rpm, stump puller type 408, budget street...

    Over to Plan B...

    The '72 340 I bought for the '73 Satellite was torn down and found to have significant scoring in the bores due to it sitting around for years. Condensation took that puppy down. So, my mechanic buddy has an LA 360 block and crank that's been sitting in an oiled bag since 2010. Bored .030 over...

    What Cam for this 318? Setup performance?

    I've gone around the horn, from a 408 stroker to a built 360 to a stock 340 and back to the 408. A hard look in the mirror says a $$ engine build doesn't have the value for me. I've had my fun with two HP 440s, I'm gonna dial it way back and...go the poor man's route on the 318 in the car...

    Iron headed SB: 360 vs 408, LA vs magnum

    I want to put a stock appearing, SB street engine in my '73 Satellite Sebring Plus (318 now). Max HP is not the goal, but torque below 2500RPM is. It will be a cruiser, never seeing strip time (below 4500 RPM). The issue is parts availability versus budget. Rationalization: don't need aluminum...
