Hello hotrod members, i'm new to this forum. A little about me, i owned a 93 z28, a 94 z28 and now i own a 76 Camaro. Im into the drag racing scene and this old school technology i'm not that familiar with but LT1 and LSx related im better educated. My goal for the 76 Camaro is to run mid - low 10s NA, then put a little spray to touch 9s. I have a 355 in the 76 when i bought it, it's nothing special but a cruiser motor. I got myself a 396 Big block. It's been bored .30 over so i think that makes it a 402, its been rebuilt from the previous owner but never ran, im wanting to build a motor close to 600hp NA as i can then add a little spray. I asked on nastyz28 forums and they pretty much told me i have a boat anchor and to drop it for a 454. Well i looked and looked and looked and this 396 is the only thing i can find in my area without driving 10+ hours. It's block #3955272 CE and heads #3931063. I thought i'd join a big block forum where the guru's are i think they'd be a little more supportive than bashful
