Thread: Engine rebuild tips and help

Tweet

Thanks for reading and considering my posts--------I've rebuilt lots of small block engines and as time goes on good cores are hard to find so we have been leaning toward the later stuff unless someone wants to stay more original----(numbers matching) For the original look under the hood, we use a lot of Dart blocks and stroker kits------4.125 bore---------
If a person has a lower mile oringinal motor and wants to step it up, tHE Edelbrock package is a solid recommendation------Headers is the last thing you need on a street engine in a modest driver------the rear end and possibly overdrive transmission is better route to spend those dollars-------assuming that a person is keeping there ride forever and not going to trade it in in a couple years--------headers will create more problems than fix escept for maybe some swapping of power plants/chassis ( unless racing is involved where all out performance is involved--no dial ins)

The Edelbrock package will also work nicely with down the road addition of the sniper kits-----

I'd suggest that you do a cylinder leakage/compression test to verify decent ring/piston condition and if decent numbers just do the Edelbrock package-------they are well grouped and will do the 400+hp which will break your rear end ------
