I knew you were using a 350 at the start but why don't you just buy a 400 block

Has anyone successfully merged a 400 sbc to the 5.7 vortec head? I found a thread on another forum on a basic parts list to do so:


i need to drill steam holes in my heads.

use a vortec balancer

vortec timing cover

and a retro-fit hyd. roller setup.

did i miss anything?

He never did respond on how the build went. Does anyone have info on this. I have my eyes on an non bored 400 block that I want to sweep up and slowly build to be a NA power house

Haven't read?? This thread is all full of win. Good luck.
