When I worked at a Midwestern Chevy dealer in the late sixties, the local sprint car racers would add a Vertex mag, Hilborn injection, and a roller cam to a crate motor, and have a highly competitive engine!

Is no one going to ask what a 391 is??
Stroke 3.83 ???
Favorite sbc??? Why that would be the 427. GM or Hardcore either would be just fine. Could put some oomph in the old gocart.:D
I dont know what a 391 one is so someone please enlighten me.
My favorite is the 265 I think because it the first and I just love those factory valve covers. My father has an all original unmolested one still running in the 55 Chevy in his garage.
I started building these when a customer need his crank turned.
The 391 is built using a 3.75 stroke crank which is then "off-set ground" to 3.832 in stroke.
The combo uses the std. 5.7 rod in length.
Yes,this combo. will fit in a stock block but will require a small base circle cam.
Aw man Erik...you should have let them work on the answer some more before revealing it....:LOL:

:3dSMILE:I love this!! Really this is good, Denny and Dave got it right. If sbc's didn't
need the cranks turned so often, nobody would have invented one (391):D
at least the real one had a steal crank**) **) **)

How about a 350-60 over with a 400/3.750 crank . 389ci not bad ? :) COOLQuote:

Yeah, if my brother-in-law would ever quit using the old thing I could get all the good parts out of it!!!! Every spring we put in a new set of points, that's about it, then just use it all summer for a multitude of things. The rest of the truck is junk, even been rolled off a silage pile once, but that old 391 just keeps running!!!!!:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:Quote:
