    Build a 331 with a blower - through the hood!

    Sitting on top of a blower!
    Imagine the looks you would get - no matter where you went.

    If you already have a .40 over 302 block, and there is some wear...you may consider searching for another block. These 302's don't usually do well at .40 and beyond.

    Just my 2 cents.
