I didn't know if there was a actual engine in that CID that I didn't know about.
I'm familiar with the stroker crank in the SBC.
I messed up earlier when I said it was a 400 with "stroker" crank, so I corrected it. What I meant to say is a factory 400 SBC has a 4.125" bore by 4.00" inch stroke. De-stroking with a 3.75" crank, a common SBC "stroker crank", would net the 372.

I have really taken a shine to rods done in a gold hue. Just something classy about 'em.
I don't know about you, but for myself, I'm gonna get the hell out of the way of that thing!
I knew about the destroking a SBC too but wasn't thinking about that. Honestly had kind of forgotten it being an option since it's been a LONG time since I've even heard it mentioned.
I dig the gold paints.
I even have a gold flaked 3/4 helmet. I've always liked pearls, candy paints, and small to medium flake, and golds typically have those, but I've always been a touch special.How do you feel about this gold? '62 Chevy "Anniversary Gold".

It's a tad too subtle for what I like to see on a rod, but looks perfect on those '62s! Speaking of '62 Chevrolets, here are the factory colors:
The Surf Green, Twilight Turquoise, and Coronna Cream are my favorites.
OP
I generally love maroon, but as for the Honduras Maroon on a '62 Chevy, there are other colors that I'd rather have (they tend to be the lighter colors). The Coronna Cream is probably my favorite one.
OP
I noticed that as well. I was expecting it.
