: 40 over Slime Nov 12th, 00, 7:57 AM I'm not sure but a .30 over is a 355, so about a 357-358. 72CHEVELLE Nov 12th, 00, 8:12 AM The engines they run in NASCAR are 358ci. And I think they're the Bowtie 350 block bored .40 over. ------------------ Jeremy J.

That would work out to 348, but add on a bit for overbores and such. Just figured that if they're gonna rev 'em to the moon, they'd probably go with a shorter stroke, and the bigger bore would allow larger valves.

A stock Chevrolet 350 with a 4.000" bore and a 3.480" stroke bored .040 would result in 357 (rounded off) cubic inches.

That's why I said I think... Would be interesting to know for sure, though. ------------------ Jeremy J.
