Early this year I put together a 359 cyl. on a 357 bottom, I inquired here about porting #s and stuff and pretty much followed advice. Now I am no way any kind of hot dog saw porter, but apparently I hit all the right spots, cuz this thing came out very strong.
I envy you. I want to but don't want to ruin a good oem cylinder.

We definitely have some clever boffins here, and they're mostly generous with their advice.

Randy was notoriously generous with porting numbers. In fact, he poasted 357 numbers in numerous threads. Right there in broad daylight. Worth looking into...
Side note I ran his personal 357 in his barnyard back in October. All I can say is look up his recipe, it works.

Randy really set a standard of generosity here, with information, spare parts, or whatever. I like to think that I learned a little from hus example.

If you carefully remove the plastic clamp part on the intake flange and bevel the ends of the platix ring you can fit a steel clamp. Ive only used a hose clamp but works fine.
