Thread: Big block motor build help

Tweet

Also good call by Gassersrule. I love the sound of those huge secondaries coming to life on the quadrajet!

Is there a rotating assembly i can get that`ll be perfectly matched up to this block? Like SCAT or EAGLE? I want this thing to definately be a road banger and a definate import terrorizer. Plus would just a stock cranks and a set of reconditioned rods do the trick? I`m going to the turkey rod run show next month and i like to find a rotating assembly but if i can i like to find a 454 and build that instead.I know 454s are more plentiful then the 402s and truthfully i had a chance to get 1 for 500.00 but was short and he sold it and turned out to be a 4 bolt main.(man i was dumb not getting it).But i can find a 454 locally and would that be the wiser choice and then just put thi 402 aside or sell it? I wont sell the 396 so lets hear your thoughts?

thanks
