I had initially thought I was building a 406, until my engine builder informed me we had rod to cam clearance issues... it was at that point he told me he had put a stroker crank in it lol I will take that win.

my engine builder informed me we had rod to cam clearance issues

I'd run really quick from any engine builder stating that, unless someone cares to explain how the piston rod can ever hit the camshaft in a small block 400 unless its snapped off....

Should be a sweet engine, going to have a nice sound to it and be about 375HP

I have the receipts. He is a good friend of mine and was trying to surprise me as a birth gift, my youngest is due to be born in about 3 weeks.

I must be missing something. A stock 400 (short) rod is made different to clear the cam in the big small block. Going with the 5.7 rods makes things a bit more difficult, have to grind off some of the bolt heads on a couple of the rods or buy a small base cam, special rods maybe. With a bigger stroker crank it is probably some worse I'd think? Need more research I suspect.

4 cylinder th a hairdryer turbo is good too

Solid combo.
3.875x4.155?

 

[Peck]

Yes it is

Solid combo.
3.875x4.155?

lf it only makes 375 hp, l would be disappointed.
My guess is more like 450

 

[dcozzi]

I would think 500HP+ pretty easily. (at the crank)
Now that you asked, you must dyno it. You can get a proper tune with that as well.

One of my favorite combos out there.
I'm putting this one tuned at 500-ish horsepower
