RPP is at it again, this time is another 355 SBC! 


Here we have an 014 2 bolt block that was abused from day one of her life! 


A little background on the engine:


A friend of mine installed a new cam and lifters in what he thought was a weak 305 just in time to realize what he thought to be a rod knock!! Little did he know that his 355 had actually spun every rod and main bearing plum out of it. 


RPP16-3551 is a:

GM 3970014 .030 over block

Melling oil pump

New steel Eagle Crank

Forged Eagle rods

Speed Pro Hyper Pistons

Internally Balanced to neutral 

Hastings rings

Speed Pro std/std bearings

Summit racing stock Timing set 

Summit racing Torquer camshaft

Summit racing HFT lifters


We did not bore this block to .040. We stayed with the .030 over integrity and simply honed the cylinders. One cylinder has a slight discoloration to it from where the water set in the cylinder but this block is100% ready to run. 


This will be a great performer for someone that just wants a good stout daily driver for car or truck. 


Give us a call at RPP for any more information, we can also build it to a longblock if you would prefer. 573-578-5792
