    just close chamber heads and Gm block . you know you could build this with the bigger 4.000 crank hyper pistons should fit ? with your head s you have . would have to check this should be ok may need some tune up work for fit. some head work .roller cam let it rip save the money for a 540/565 street engine pump gas or a 496/511 street engine with good heads i have heads for the big engines and parts .in stock i have the dart 335CNC .345.355CNC heads i have but nothing in a o port right now in the small chamber you will need less then you want a 489/511 then i can get you some heads

    It has CE stamped on the block, i tried to google it and all i get is "customer exchange" so maybe it was a warrantied out motor sometime in it's life? I have no clue what it stands for. What i want to do though is push that 402 into the mid 10s, people are bashing me because it's the small BBC but i want to prove them wrong. Im going to tear it down and sell what i can out of it. You've already got me set on those AFR magnum oval port heads to stick on there, i sent the link to in the earlier page
