Yeh fair point Pauly, you can consider this diesel mechanic schooled for the day.

With those heads and cam (232/236 106LSA+2 ) a 355 would piss in 412hp and then some. I was more asking (maybe I should have read further back) if...

I’m guessing this 412 HP you speak of is from an LS with the above mentioned cam as I can’t see a 355 Holden punching out those numbers with such a...

Nice one mate, thanks for YouTube link, it puts it into a bit more perspective on what you’re doing and trying to achieve.

I tend to agree with Pauly (and no I’m not just jumping on the Pauly train) if you already have the 272 Crane solid or really want to use it. ...

What state, suburb are you located please?

Put it down as an ‘educational experience’ and it will assist you when dealing with other businesses in the future in regards to asking more...

Doesn’t sound like great customer service. They should have been honest and up front about getting it ‘repaired/assessed’ in Melbourne and any...

Sounds like you haven’t lost any torque either. Stuffed if I could go that long with no food, I’d be like a Labrador that missed a feed.

Check eBay, UPC used to sell lots of kits and stuff there.

Speak with the guys at Hoppers Stoppers.

Sounds like you need a push bike to ride to work or a cheap 4cylinder work car man if you’re only 1 KM’ from work. If your oil pump is as flogged...

As per what EH179 said, you can also do it quickly by hand. Put your cam and lifters in but before you fit up the timing chain spin the cam over and...

Keep us posted, will be interested to follow this build and see how this little 330 performs.

Since it comes with all that (crank, rods & bolts) and you just need pistons that 330 stroker sounds like a good option. Many years ago an old...

Agree and you get some more cubic inches. Let’s be honest, who wouldn’t like more inches.

Try Zoran at Competition Engines in Melbourne.

I’ve used Durapro before on a 355 with just over 10:1 comp and my pers preference is the Felpro 1076. I used this on a 355 with 10.8:1 comp. These...

It’s funny you mention COME racing, in the mid 90’s my brother bought a 355 stroker from them (VN heads, Hydraulic FT cam, just over 400hp, it was...

That’s close enough for planning purposes. OP just needs to use a compression calculator (heaps around) plug in the numbers and go from there. ...

Yep.

Out of the last two 355’s I built I used the following, SCAT crank (Holden journal) , 5.7” SCAT I beam rods and got a set of SRP Professional series...
