2007年3月1日 · Second smartass answer - sell it to somebody looking for a 396 and buy yourself a 454 block and build a 454 or even a 496. Don't give up the cubes unless you have to. If you're in love with the short stroke engine, buy a steel crank off ebay for $200 and build a 427.

2000年12月11日 · Also no machine shop roulette wheel. I'd like to see them do a true budget rebuild of a 396 (the most common big block) for $2000, with stock oval port heads, 9.0-1 CR, flat tappet hydraulic cam, stock rockers, etc., and see what that dynos.

The variety of cylinder heads and pistons available allows the selection of parts which may not be compatible. While we can apply some general rules, the ONLY way to be sure that your chosen combination will work is to check piston to head clearance during the ...

I believe only advantage was the solid cam on the Z-16 allowed it to rev higher" 1965: Corvette L78 396 rated at 425HP solid lifter cam Z-16 Chevelle 396 rated at 375HP hydraulic lifter cam The engines were internally identical except for the cam and exhaust system. They are both very fast.

1999年4月14日 · If you bore a 396 .060 over and install a 454 crank, you should be about 18 inches short of a 454, or about 436. Then if you build that engine with the same approach that you would take with a 454, the difference would not be enough for you to notice. And you might even be able to bore it .090.

2010年10月4日 · Even the lower perf 396 for 69 had same shortblock as 325/350hp motor,it just had dif heads with larger comb chambers to lower comp to 9.0 for reg fuel along with 2brl carb & intake & cam from the 325hp 396 too. So add 063 heads with smaller chambers increasing comp to 10.25.1 and your back to a real 396/325hp L35 motor perf lvl.

2012年6月4日 · This is an addition to my previous post: "BIG BLOCK CONVERSION OVER HEATING" The problem is I made some changes suggested by Team Chevelles Finest, and now I'm running to Cool I think... 160-170. I let it idle a long time, took it for a drive, never got over 170:hurray: but the stock stat for this engine '67 396 is 195 degrees.

2015年2月15日 · That Fram PH 30 is a Pontiac 400 oil filter IIRC and B-O-P filters don't interchange with Chevy filters. John-TC#2226 - 1971 SS350 El Camino 406 SBC M21 3.31 12 bolt

2017年7月5日 · Put one of these on my 396. Great carb for sure !

2004年5月22日 · There was a magazine not too long ago about 406 small block versus 408 big block. They spent 2,500 on the small and 3,500 on the big, and they put both into a 1st gen Camaro. Both ran low 12's, the big block won by a few tenths. The small block was cheaper, and much easier to work on, and maintenance is easier in terms of small parts costs.
