Re: 355 engine

It'll have some power. How much? Who knows, there are a lot of variables that are not covered. What heads, cam, intake? You could ask what it is a replacement motor for (probably a TBI truck motor, LO5), and that would give you a better idea of what it should make.

Re: 355 engine

yup pretty much agree. an overbore doesnt do much power wise. its all in heads, cam, compression. Now if you said it had 11:1 with 230 cc heads, and a .590 lift mechanical roller cam, and a forged rotating assembly with a 750 CFM double pumper holley. Id say you'd have a nice motor with about 500 horses. But we dont know.
