Chevy small block
Ok, I'm sure these topics have already been covered however I didn't really see them. I'm a first time engine builder, i have what i Believe is a first gen 350 chevy small block, engine ID 10054727 from what i could find this is an 86 LS9? I have it torn completely apart now, I want to keep the crank and pistons it has and just update the rest, and this is where my lack of experience is, looking at pictures of heads, i notice not all ports and passages match my block, seeing there are like 6 different generations and port sizes, shapes, different angles for spark plugs and all sorts of confusion. I'm just looking for this engine to rumble and go fast, I don't have a tranny yet nor do i know exactly what i want to put it in... Thats another days discussion. I'm not looking to max out HP or anything just a good rumble and some good burn outs. Any advice on what to pay attention to and how to find out what parts would fit my engine. Thanks
My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
How did you get hooked on cars?
