What are the details on the 358?

Its an old cup motor. I bought it blown up and just got it rebuilt, obviously in the picture the motor isnt assembled but I am just using it for mock up..

Its got yates C3 heads, kryptonite crank, carrillo rods, je pistons, 5 stage dry sump. I figure it should be pretty nuts having about 2x the horsepower. It was fun with my 289, but I just want to take it to the next level.

Thanks!

Trying to get some structure up front, I need visualization! Not good enough to just design it all in CAD and everything works...

I am working on the front motor plate, hopefully I will get it cut it soon. I'd like to get the location of the engine figured out. It is pretty close, my precision wheel cart may be a bit low though...... It will probly come up at least an inch.

Next I plan on working on A arm geometry. I played with it a bit, havent got it quite figured out yet.

Welcome Brian. It will probably be difficult to find the wheels that you are needing with the width, diameter, backspace and 5/8 studs for the money you are wanting to spend. Please feel free to contact me if you decide to go down the road of " built to order" wheels. I am sure we can help get you what you need. Good luck with the build!
