My first complete SBC 350 build
Hey Everybody! I wanted to share a mild engine build I am doing. I scored a never-bored 350 4 bolt main from my machinist.

Cheap set of 16 inch 8 lug rims
@AuroraGirl they are 6 lug but available in 8 lug as well in a 16x8. My main concern was clearing the tie rod and brakes. I am sitting on 33's and i might have to do an inner notch job on the front fender. The rear sits inside the utility bed just fine- Oaasport
