In the chevelle we bored the engine .030 to clean up the cyliders, used new pistons, and completly rebuilt the heads. Other than that everything is stock, including the flat intake. Even with an almost completly stock engine, the car will run very well holding its own in street races. The trucks engine is more modofied. A friend of ours, Gary Garvalink owns his own engine shop, he builds top fuel motors and helped us out on this project. The block was a mess when it was pulled from the truck, the previous owners had given it a quick paint job over the dirt and oil, it looked horibble. The block was hot-tanked to remove all the old paint and other junk. we hasd the block bored .030 to clean up the cylinders. The block also underwent line honing and it was decked to clean up the gasket surface. The heads were completly rebuilt with bigger valves, and new valve springs. To complement the intake and the new bigger valves, the heades were also ported, polished and matched to the intake ports on the intake. My father and I received the parts and assembeled the engine one afternoon. We used all new ARP rocker studs with new roller rockers. We also used new ARP head and main cap bolts. We took the greatest of care to keep everything perfectly clean, making sure to oil all the polts, and torqe them to the proper specs. We anticipate the engine with an edelbrock performer air gap intake, a 750 demon carborator, and coated equal length headers to produce around 400 horsepower. |
