Default Chevy help

Anyone work with the 350 Roller (I think that is the crank kit)? Any sites that have support for this monster would be great, or anyone in this area that works/sell parts for them. Don't really have any ideas on it, I just want to see what is out there and the prices. The vehicle the engine is in needs some traction bars ect. Any help is appreciated.

what are you asking? are you asking where to get traction bars or where to get roller parts?

a 350 roller motor is a 350 with a roller setup. its not a crank kit, its a roller valvetrain setup (cam, lifters, rockers, timing set etc) small block chevy parts can be found anywhere. summit, jegs, wherever.

traction bars can be made by someone with welding abilities or you could just order them.

Well, I found a nice truck for a great price, 86 S-10 350 Roller. I haven't worked with V8's much, so I don't know too much about them. Another thing is, it has a 411 rear end. Would a lower ratio be better for it? I'm just trying to get some ideas on what I can do. Oh, I will have some yellow racing seats for sale after I get it.

4.11 gears are pretty low as it is. Depending on your tranny, that thing'll suck on the highway. You need to match your tires, cam, gears and stall to get a good combo also.

so it does have a torque converter and with 4.11 gears, unless it has a really tall tire it will suck on the highway
