Restoration / 396 engine

« on: July 01, 2010, 09:56:54 AM »

Hi there,

I have a 68 date code correct 396, 325hp engine i would like to rebuild.

What special features would make the engine as correct as possible paint colours, gaskets, chroming etc.

I would like the engine to look as though it left the factory 42 years ago.

Cheers

Restoration / 396, 325hp engine rebuild.

« on: June 22, 2010, 03:07:24 AM »

Hi there,

Ok i would like to get a 396 325hp engine stripped down and rebuilt. Transmission is a M20 (wide ratio) and Differential 3.07

My ego is kicking in a little now so i would like to have a new cam installed (350hp). The rest of the engine i would like to keep to factory spec's.

Could i get some advice/experience of the process involved in stripping down and rebuilding a engine e.g acid bath, honed, blue printed etc.

I would really like to get this rebuild done correctly and professionally without missing a stage.

Your comments will be very much appreciated.

Cheers

Originality / 68 factory big block proof

« on: March 13, 2010, 04:44:12 AM »

Hi guy's,


Im currently having a healthy discussion with a mate regarding proving 68 factory big block cars and factory options that came with the 68 year/models

My mate insists that to prove the 68 big block car the key is the original motor regardless of transmission or differential.

I suggested that if you didnt have the original big block motor but had the P-O-P and/or Dealer invoice that surely would increase the chances of proving a 68 factory big block???

Another hot topic was the options available for the year of 68. Apparently the SS was not a highly optioned model i thought otherwise.

Would anyone like to correct either or both of us please???

Look forward to your well informed suggestions/information.

Cheers

Hi there,

Could anyone suggest/recommend reliable reading material on what to look for in a factory big block car.

For example 4n or 4k, heater box, fuel line etc.

Even better if you could attach the reading material to this post.

As  usual thank you all for your time.

Cheers.
