    Question

    What does rod length have to do with port volume?

    There is a balance plate available that goes behind a standard 350 flywheel and smooths out a 400.

    Just make sure you have the block checked for cranks. 400's are more likely to crack than 350's, and there are inherent weak points. Just because it has low mile does not mean it is free from cracks. If it was me, I would take a risk and go for it.

    Thumbs up

     



    Yes,I understand all that the short rod vs long rod theory.I just would rather see him go to a 5.7 rod or longer to get rid of the extra skirt wear caused by the 5.565 rod.I also would rather see him make a head decision based on having a better rod ratio.

    What's the chamber size of the heads?
    Street motor or what?
    Pump gas or race gas?
    Loose converter or stock?
    Rear gear ratio?
    Carb or EFI?
    Iron heads?
    Budget?

    UMMMM,extra torque over the 383? it has the same stroke as the 400 which is 3.75.Oh,I get it.The extra torque must be found in the .125 larger bore.More rotating mass.L.O.L
