Best donor car........

Where is the best place to get a 350 block to be made to a 355. I be using the following:

forged 350 crank 10/10
Forged 5.7" H-Beam Rods

I'll have to grind clearence right? What is a good strong block. IE what type of vehicle to get from?

Thanks

you won't have to grind anything, if you do something is wrong. i'd look for a block from a truck.

Yea, look in trucks first, because they often had the 4 bolt 350 blocks... most cars did not.
