since you have a bad crank and 2 bad rods/pistons might be the time to step up to 4.250 crank---just did one and it was right at 10 lbs lighter than a forged steel one--went in a 2 bolt block and for a early cheville?? original 396 getting sealed up in a Scribner box and shelved

that not hard how much money do you have to spend on heads could be any thing from warmed over 781/049 or dart .afr ????$$$$$ yep i done just one or two 496 funny thing is the guys leave them 396 badges on the car.... there going to be a very big engine in a truck he will have to lock the hood down i think he may play it off as a 350 with a leaky EX and in need of a tune up

lol my trucks already pretty well known for a screamer with its poor lil ole 350. stock bore, forged alum full floater flat tops, balanced, duel cammel back heads with port n polish heads slightly shaved preditor carb and procomp ignition set. runin 456 gears with 40" boggers itll run first 2nd and 3rd in 4 low
but damnit i want 4 hi!! hehehe
tryin to use what heads i got if itll work for my rpm range. if not i guess its time to go diggin for some and hope i dont get jipped
