Re: 355 build

Thanks guys for all the help and info. I've read articles about people building the newer 5.3L chevy 327. Has any of u guys built one or I was wondering the difference between the 5.3 or going old school with the 355 or 383? I know the newer engines are aluminum and roller. So what's ya'lls opinion?
