[B]Hey i posted a while ago about strokeing my 355 and am still unsure about doing so, its in a 91 s-10 that i will be useing for daily use so i need it to be reliable. The engine is in serious need of a rebuild which is why i'm considering strokeing it.
:confused: :confused:
Tech had provided us a bunch of Dyno comparisons on different engines. One of those was comparing a 350 and a 383 build exactly the same. Both were well built motors using all the good stuff,AFR heads,cam,headers,etc. The 383 made 20 more H.P. and 35lbs. ft. of torque more.
I would think, unless You just want a 383 You would be better off building your 355 and taking the difference to make other needed improvments. While You have the motor down is the time to check your cam to see just what you have. A good race engine machine shop can tell You everything about your cam or you may be able to get the numbers off the cam and figure it out.:) :)
