Yeah Wasn't I just here????
f you have to ask the best way is to have someone do it for you
If you realy want to learn ... I'm very proud of you
But you need to start reading what other people have done and learn from their mistakes and then decide how you want to go from there...
There are many books and DVD's out there just for you
example ebay .. # 110076150820
or .... # 180071429817
Look at the rest of his books, also
Books A Million, Hastings, Amazon.com
You can get 572 out of it.... But I would stay 434 to 468 or Stroker if you want to go Wild....
Study Hard, Play Hard, Have Fun...............
ZZZZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM...

Are you dealing with the short or tall deck block? You know they made more than one in trucks. There is also a 396 that will trick you for a 427. You can't tell them apart by looking at them. You must first know what you have in order to determine how to build it, and how much you can bore it to. Many things figure into the equation when it comes to building an engine. This I know because I have been building engines for about 30 years or better. Matter of fact I have a 427 in an old wrecker. You might want to consider getting the code off the front of the block in order to truly know what the engine is. You can go to kbpistions.com and they have all kinds of calculators on there to figure out your combination. I would stay away from sleeving an engine as this is just not cost effective. I have all kinds of old repair manuals, and engine ID stuff. On the block will be some numbers followed by some letters like LLK or FG. These letters tell what the engine is. I have some code books that breaks every part down in order to tell what it came from. These books aren't cheap, but if one is looking for hot rod stuff they are worth their weight in gold. Find what you have, go to Keith black pistons web-site, and take it from there. You will be glad you did. Honestly, no one on here can tell you much, but some think they can.
Glad I could help you, Good Luck!!!

the simplest way is probably to buy a crate motor right from GM. This is especially true if you don't have the tools for the job. By the time you buy tools and all the parts (big block engines are expensive) you can probably have a factory motor with a warranty. If you have never built an engine before try starting out with a small block Chevy, the parts are relatively inexpensive so if you make a mistake you will not be out any where near as much money. And absolutely do as one of the earlier answers to your question stated "read books" on the subject.
