About the 355 Small Block Chevy Crate Engine

A 355 is a classic small-block Chevy built from a 350 block that has been bored slightly oversize, usually during a rebuild. Builders use it as a base for performance because the extra displacement, combined with modern heads and a well-chosen cam, delivers more power without the cost of a stroker kit. It keeps the same external dimensions as a standard 350, so it fits wherever a small block Chevy fits.

The polished intake and billet serpentine drive on this 355 small block Chevy crate engine make it a strong choice for open-engine hot rods, show trucks and street rods where looks matter.

Before You Buy

• Ask for the build details, including heads, cam, compression and carburetor.
• Check that the billet drive’s alternator and power steering locations suit your chassis.
• Confirm the distributor, fuel pump type and starter required.

Installation Tips

Prime the oil system, follow a cam break-in procedure if the engine uses a flat-tappet camshaft, and set the timing and carburetor mixture carefully. Re-torque intake and header bolts after the first heat cycles.
