Im thinking of purchasing a 396 stroked 351 from dss. Has any body had experiance with these?It has forged rods,forged crank the block is race preped magnifluxed stress relived the decks are squared and equalised with the crank centerline and bored with torque plates witch is known to produce 30 to 40 more horsepower na because of superior ring seal(60to70 horse forced induction)the pistons are forged coustom flat tops produceing 12.5.1 compression with 58cc chamber.It comes fully assembeled,ballenced and tolerance checked.It sounds like a kick a$$ short block.I was originally considering the same but 331 but the 396 is the same price and i havent bought heads or anything yet so that wont be a problem.What do you guys think? by the way im going carberated if that makes any differance to you guys
