387cid 550+hp:


I destroyed my newly rebuilt 350cid high compression motor that means I need a new motor right? Well this is a problem, since I am a hot rodder, I can just build a stock 350cid, and since I already tried a mildly modified high compression and it died, I guess that means the next step is umm -- Bigger Better Faster More!!
