Wow, this brings back memories!! Its crazy to see an almost 50 year old car being rebuilt, when I had helped a friend of mine rebuild his '70 Camaro while I was in high school back in 1984!! He got really lucky with the body and interior when he bought his '70, it was in barely used shape! He still repainted the car, but the bulk of the work went into the powertrain.. We rebuilt a small block 350 motor top to bottom, as well as the turbo hydramatic 350 tranny, if I remember correctly.. The overall result? Lets just say he was the envy of our entire graduating class! I really wish I had some pics to show! Its awesome to see somebody putting an even bigger muscle car motor in a '70 Camaro! Can't wait to see the finished result! Awesome job, guys!

True L-78's and L-34's had 4 bolt mains with a L-78 having steel crank. "Hi-perf pass" was cast on the block @ oil pump area, and stamped with T1212JD on the block. They came with square port heads, with 2.19 intake valves along with 11:5 comp and solid lifter cam with 0.520/0.520 lift. On top came a hi-rise aluminum manifold with a Holley #4150, 780cfm. The rod bolts on a 396 were 3/8" while the 427 hi-perf. came with 7/16" bolts and the rods were dimpled. L-89's came with aluminum heads. Using No. 72 jets in the primary with tube headers would get around 500h.p.

When you measured main bearing bore with bearings,you stated that the clearance was 24,26 and 29. Tolerances are the correct terminology are crucial and new engine builders might take that as .024,.026 and .029, when in fact it’s +.0024,+.0026 and +.0029 and the diameter should be stated as plus 2 and 4 tenths of a thousandth and so on for each diameter and written +.0024. And when checking diameter of mains and pins,you should always check in 2 places at 90 degrees from each other,this will not only show undersize diameters,it will also show egg shape of diameters if present.And you HAVE to measure in tenths of a thousandth if you want accuracy,if your micrometers don’t read in tenths,I suggest that you get them and have an experienced tool and die maker or a good machinist teach you how to correctly use and read a micrometer,this aspect of building engines is the most crucial part,and you’ll gain more respect,and I agree with the knowledgeable people on here,that block is a boat anchor,gonna be a hot spot there and I sure as hell didn’t like how easy that sleeve pressed in.

Not trying to be a critic however when using Loctite make sure you use it correctly. Apply the Loctite to the holes in the crank, not the bolts for the flywheel. Loctite will end up between the flywheel and crank flange as it will be extracted off the bolt while screwing it in. Common mistake made by many people!

@DefWun 4 жыл бұрын

Not quite true. I have used thread locker for years by putting it on the bolt first and never had an issue. I will say that I don't just slap it on and jam a bolt in though. I put it on and wait a minute or so,while blowing on it. This way it gels up, before I tighten it down. I have pulled out threadlocked bolts and they were tight coming out and the threads had thread locker between them.

D F I agree you will have success that way however...have you ever pulled a flywheel off and seen migrated Loctite? That’s what I’m referring to. After Loctite cures, by nature (how it’s designed) it will force against the two surfaces, act as a jack and you will have a runout on the flywheel. Probably not a big issue on a typical street engine but it matters in pro racing when air gap is critical.

Do these heads flow exactly the same as the original 3919840 heads? My uncle had a 1967 L78 with headers and the block had been decked, back in 1970s, people came out of the woodwork to try to outrun him, nobody did. He raced 440 six packs, 454s, 427s, 389s, etc. Nobody came close to outrunning him, The motor finally broke the frame on the left side on a 66 Chevelle (what he had it in).

They should have showed us how they filled that hole in the cylinder.....the sleeve alone can't take the heat and pressure of compression not to mention the power stroke......

Am I the only person to ever apply some high pressure grease to the ball/socket mount for the clutch release fork? These guys sure didn't show it, or mention it...
