Thank you! The block is Block# 3798962 , and the heads are 333's. The dipstick is on the passenger side, like a 409.So maybe it's the bigger pan? The 409 crank, fresh turned 30/30, was $150. I'm pretty stoked about this engine for the car!

I'm sure I can get it to fit! I have 333 heads, And was going to switch to something that came on higher Hp motors. Can someone tell me why these truck heads are good to use? When I look them up, I would never choose to use them, but when I read people's builds, thay seem to be a pretty...

How do I add albums to my profile?

So the 348 pan won't work, and I need a 409 pan?

Thanks guys! Along with the crank swap, and a tri-power, I'll be porting and polishing the heads, and running HEI. Any tricks for the 348 that I should know? I'll have a built 200R4 behind it. Here are pics cof my car.It no longer has the donk rims, it now has Fenton slots.

Here you go. Got rid of the donk rims, and it now has Fenton slots. 350 tri-power with th350. It will soon have a 348 tri-power, with 200r4

Just talked to Egge, ans they have two sets of main bearings, and over 300 rod bearings on the shelf. For a minute there, you had me thinking this wasn't so cheap afterall!

Thanks! Is it worth doing for the .25 extra stoke? The 409 crank, fresh turned 30/30 only cost me $150. What heads are you running?

Just when I thought I had it figured out, this was sent to me on another board. Can someone who has done this comment? From "Hot Rodding the Chevy V8", by Don Francisco, Petersen Spotlight Books, 1961: Some fellows with he 348 engines and boring and stroking on their minds are...

Ok, Thanks. I'll go with the 409 crank, BBC rods, and aftermarket pistons, probably at 10.5-1 What heads-585, 586, or the 333 truck heads that seem to be getting popular? Or a different one? I don't want to buy aftermarket heads- too many $$$'s.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And yep, I searched, just can't find this exact answer. If I put 409 crank in the 348, can I use the 348 conn rods and pistons? I've read that most are using BBc 6.175" rods, with aftermarket pistons...

I have several old cars I'm working on. My '58 Delray is getting upgraded from a SBC, to a 348, so I'll have lot's of questions
