Just got it finished and about ready to swap into car

 

looks good, any specs?

 

The engine is a 2 bolt main 30 over. A set of aluminum cylinder heads 190cc with a 64 combustion chamber. Cam has a lsa of 110 and the lift is 508 intake and 512 exhaust. Performer intake, roller rockers, nice set of forged srp flat top pistons makeing around 10.5 to 1 compression. cast rods and crank. Im shooting to make aroung 360-370 hp.

 

too much chrome for my taste

 

That's the first time I've seen a 12 o'clock bolt-on timing tab.

 

u dont like?

 

i like

 

I'm with you! Never seen that before...

Looks good otherwise!

 

looks good, dude!

 

thanks i just wanna get it in the car so bad

 

How do you actually time it with the timing tab at the 12:00 position.. With it at the 2:00 I fully understand it.. What would you have to do different to the crank to put your timing tab there? I do know that it would be harder to time as the waterpump would be sitting directly over where you need to look.

 

Many SBC's in the late-70's to mid-80's had the timing tab at 12 o'clock. I've seen it as early as '78 and as late as '86.

The only difference is the mark on the harmonic damper.

 

I noticed the 12:00 timing tab right away as well. Where did you get it? I could really use one of those.

The engine looks great. Nice work.

 

good old chevy orange never fails! looks nice! motor swaps are lots of fun, wish i knew four years ago what i know now! coulda timing the motor and tuned the carb myself with ease.
