With all the big-inch 409's around, I am wondering if anyone has gone to the trouble to build a stroked 348. I realize the bore is a .25 smaller, but will the 4" crank from the 454 fit? With a .60 overbore, this should give something in the range of 450 cubes. Add the new Edelbrock heads and intake, some lightweight pistons and rods and a roller cam and you should have a pretty hot motor. It just seems to me since 348's are still pretty cheap, and a lot of the really good stuff is being reproduced, it isn't absolutely necessary to start out with a 409 block. Has anyone out there done this?
