Title: 2276 Or 2332?opinions
Post by: steiner on October 02, 2005, 09:36:15 PM

Well I have been looking into building a decent engine. Seeing as I know very little about the larger engines, what size would be the best engine to build ? If you look at the shrine stats, every car seems to differ in engine size. It would appear to me that a 2332 might not last as long as a 2275. If I am wrong. Tell me why. Honestly I don't care much about streetability. I'll drive it no matter what. I need a fast engine that will take some abuse. My cars have eaten enough pavement to last a lifetime so now it's time to eat cars. I have my 56 waiting in the back 40 to come to life. Now that the rains have begun and we will be inside for the next six months I figure I have time to build something mean.

2332 with chevy journals and h-beam rods , less clearancing than a 82 mm stroke with vw journal and i beams, but more power!

If you buy a \"super case\" or any case that is clearanced all you need to worry about would be the cam and we sell pre clearanced cams.
So either way will be fine.

I know. The super case would be my first choice anyway.
