400 cubi inches!!!!!.........the biggest i have ever seen is a 310 cubic inch 253

yeah its the biggest you can go.. cant go 400

Yeh, i was going to put a 253 into my tonner...i'm glad we couldn't get it going and put the 308 innit.... Sell your 253, use the money to buy a 308 and s/c it..and you'll have a lot more power than any 253 would have.

some glasses might be a good option re sleved to 4 1/4 inch bore and a stoker crank

hey guys its tonner253 here...........biught a crow pro street cam yesterday with .495 lift and a rev range of 2700 - 5700......after i get those i am buying some new push rods hydrolic lifters and roller rockers wat is the best for push rods???

no offence mate but its gonna take more than a cam and a bit of little **** to knock off some bigger 8's..

this engine already blew off a VS SS V8 before i pulled it apart so trust me she is gona keep up mate

a VS SS isnt much chop though..

yeh but this is a 30 year old CARBY engine.....against a EFI engine and the car is bout 20 years newer then it............and it completley blew it off the road

Was he raceing or just you ?

Only mods are...650 Hp HOLLEY, edelbrock manifold, exhaust, aftermarket heads

253's will struggle to keep up with a mildly worked 308 or 350..

Why dont u do the lexus v8 conversion thats being discussed, would be cheaper, make more power and be 1000x better to drive

cos he thinks he's already chopping big cars in it..

hey tonner253 here......i don't care if u guys have a go at me now but u will see jusyt how good she goes when my car is back together i will show u all....and as for u guys saying it won't have any talk thats what the 253's were flamin made for....lots of torque

253's were built to rev their guts out.. and if your ever in melb, come show me how good it goes.. instant torque is created by cubic inches..

High revs make hp. Learn from others mistakes or just go ahead & burn a heap of dosh & then come back & tell us you should of started with a 308 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i agree with VK355.. maybe you wanna be different or something mate, but now your just being a wanker

They were not build for torque they were built to rev, they only have a 3.8" bore or something...

253's might be ****, but imagine the laugh you would get when you toast someone and tell them they got beaten by a 253 boat anchor....
