So incase the video didn't show it. The block is trash. It's been punched .040 over already. The cylinder walls are toast. The crank is shot. It had a terrible rebuild. So a new motor is in order!

And that's what I got!






So it's a 96 f250 351w. Low miles. It is a roller block. Ran good. Grabbed it from my local yard for 350 bucks as you see it. So we're back on track!

400 horse 350 small block with a super t10 backing it up :headbang:
I am sure the haters will be soon on you again. What did/are you doing to get 400 hp out of it? I have an old corvette with a 350 that is too slow could use the help.

Are there any issues with high rise intakes and hood clearance with these mini trucks? Are you still rocking the stock hood?
