Good afternoon! It's me again with another mystery from the camaro! This car has had a mildly built 350 put in it with the heater core removed and an electric water pump. I was told that 2 weeks before I got the car the radiator was leaking and he brought it to the radiator shop and had it...

Hey all, new here. Seem to find a lot of helpful tips here so why not join and ask about my own issue I recently bought a car with a Chevy 350, and noticed when doing a tune up, number 1 spark plug had excessive amounts of what I assume is oil buildup. I changed all plugs for assurance, but...

Hey there again, folks! Been a while, but I've been putting this off for some time whilst attending to stuff I can do, e.g. bits of interior trim, etc. Some of you may recall I bought my '71 back in March and it arrived here in the Med at the beginning of May. It was tricky to start and was...

So, just bought my first project car and the engine starts just fine and idles just fine. But once you start giving it some gas it backfires every several seconds or so through the carb. Also, if you tap the throttle gently, it tries to kill the engine. Both things are suspicious to say the...

No, this isn’t clickbait, it’s not April 1, and no, we aren’t talking about some aftermarket crate engine. This is a legitimate, original Gen-1 small-block Chevy engine, from the GM factory. It’s being produced again as a service replacement engine in the Springfield, Missouri plant. The...

SBC oil dipstick tube size Did GM use different size holes on the Chevy small blocks over the years? I have a 350 block I think is between a 1972-1974 block number k06 08 ckb wit the dipstick on the driver side, and none of aftermarket dipsticks I have tried fit right. The hole in the block...

Hi All, Looking for some expertise on decoding my engine. Based off of the casting #s, I think its a 1969 L48 SBC 350. According to the front ID (left of the timing chain cover) it says its a 300hp L48 from maybe a '69 Camaro or Vette. But according to the block casting near the firewall it...

Hi all, newbie to the forums and Nasty Z28 but, glad I found it! I have a motor for my 71 Camaro that needs headers with 1-⅞ square ports w/ straight plugs. I am having a hard time finding headers to fit the car. Any help is much appreciated. thank you

Hello I'm in the middle of swapping a SBC in my '75 Firebird and I'm just wondering about the fuel line situation. The return line needs to be moved to the passenger side since it runs along the driver side on a Pontiac. Are the sending units/tanks for both Firebird and Camaro the same? If so I...

Anyone have any ideas what could cause this sound on the drivers side only or is it ok? I am having some other issues such as low idle in gear at a red light, i'm guessing its due to a vacuum leak but have more investigation to do, just a bit worried about a fire if I spray carb cleaner all...

I have been doing some research on what kind of upgrades I could do to my new 350/290HP to wake it up, seems kind of sluggish.. It seems like on most forums people suggest L31 heads but are there any aftermarket heads that are even better for this cam? I am preferably looking for 'bolt on'...

Not going to lie, lately I've been looking for every excuse to go with an LS motor (may still do it eventually), but I was pleasantly surprised to get just over 22 mpg out of the small block on the way up to Good Guys last weekend. Had no idea that was possible from an old Gen 1 :screwup: Was...

Will buy new in a few weeks if I have to but I'm a college student and would love to save a buck or two if I can. Looking for a 64cc/190-200cc runner or something around there. Similar to Blueprint's H8002K. Will be sitting on a 10.2:1 350 with an XE274. Have a budget of about $600 USD. Thanks :)

I'm currently deployed overseas, so I've been passing the time by planning my next build. While my 388 has done well over the years, it's getting to the point where it needs to be replaced. I've been looking at stepping up to a big inch SBC, since I have a lot of good parts that will swap...
