Well, the only reason I'd go with a small block is to have a high revving motor, not to have a long stroked large displacement small block. And If I were going to buy an aftermarket block to go big inch I'd go straight to a big block to do a 540 or so.

Now I'm thinking a destroked LS1 based motor. Hmm....

John,

That SOHC 396 sounds like it would have been cool. Did you ever see the specs for the tri-power small block they were going to do for the Camaro? It got shelved but there are sheets from 1969 assembly manuals that show how they were going to do it.
