1965 Chevelle Engine Upgrades V8TV
http://www.v8tvshow.com - Our '65 Chevelle drove in on a low-performance 350 cubic inch Chevy replacement engine that was reported to have less than 10,000 miles on it. Initially, we contemplated doing a late-model EFI swap on this car, but then we thought we'd take a look at what we had and see what kind of shape it was in. Turns out that the 350 is a parts-store type replacement engine with 4-bolt mains and a very clean bottom end. The cast iron heads and cam were not very exciting, so we used the Dynomation engine simulation software to whip up a new recipe. In this installment, we clean up the engine, repaint the short block, and install a new Comp Cams Xtreme Energy cam, lifters, timing set, new Holley performance aluminum cylinder heads, a Weiand Action Plus intake manifold, an MSD Pro-Billet distributor, some Flowtech headers, and a Holley 670 Street Avenger camshaft. Some of the parts we already had like the MSD unit, the intake, and the carb, but the cam and heads are new. Here's how it went.

Machine Shop Engine Pickup
In this video Katharine and I are picking up our Corvette engine parts August 5th from NASCO is Saco Maine. Bob (owner) has done the work over several weeks. The block has been cleaned, magnafluxed, bored and minimally decked (numbers preserved!), the crank mains and rod journals ground (.10 under), heads rebuilt and the connecting rods checked and fitted with new .40 oversize pistons. The intake also has been cleaned. Bob has acquired almost everything we will need to complete our rebuild. Our plan is to begin work at our friend Paul Strout's garage/workshop first week of September.

It will do two things. First it will bring the cylinder walls to the matching diameter of the new pistons. Second it will leave a cross hatch pattern of light scratches, to keep oil on the walls and prevent metal on metal scraping. A dial bore gauge is used to bring it to the exact spec needed within 1/10,000th of an inch. BoxWrench.net is a community and resource designed for automotive enthusiasts.
