Whats the best small block chevy engine out there?

So, now the difference between a DOG and a HOT engine is an eighth inch of bore size. Sheesh...  

Bro i recamend the 350 four bolt it would be the best one. its not to exspensive and the torque and horse power range they can put out is rediculouse.  

Wow, spell check required!

Economy with performance 350. All out performance 434 with aftermarket block. 400s with factory blocks are dogs. Anything smaller than a 350 is too small. The 383 is in the middle and splits the difference well.  

Any factory block 400 is a dog? What? It's easy to make 500 horsepower out of a factory block 400.  

I would suggest looking at chp article twister thats a really decent motor for the $$  

The BEST engine out there if you want to stay with a small block is a 434, which is a .030 over 400 with a 4" stoke crank and 6" rods. Dart or eagle makes a rotating assembly. GO BIG OR GO HOME!  

Wow! A Kenny Duttweiler appearance!

Glad to have you aboard.  

We are lucky to graced with his presence.  

I should have built a damn Cadillac 500 with the money i got in my 350....when will i learn  

Hi People,
   I came across a 350 Chevy Lotus 4 cammer for sale. Are they very potent??
   Has anybody really given a good testing away from the drag strips? S/King  

Are you referring to an LT5?  If so I think they were 375hp 370lb ft, which was alot on the streets in the early 90's.  While ultimately cool and prettty rare there are easier less expensive ways to make power, but if you use one you will likely have the only one around when you are out.  

I agree the LT-5 was rated from 375-405HP.
