The key to Survival Motorsports' affordable 445ci FE short-block program is the ready supply of good, inexpensive used 390 (or truck 360) block castings. These are cleaned and checked over, and then line-honed, parallel-decked, and torque-plate bored and honed to (usually) 4.080-inches at a specialized machine shop. In Barry Rabotnick's experience (and it sounds like he's had a lot of it, given his sordid past as a Detroit street racer), these tough old blocks are stout enough for up to about 600 horsepower.
