Rowleym Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Dude. Where's the details. I wanna hear them! Haha. Looks amazing. What will this thing be for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyletime666 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 details...details.... i bought the car with the intention of getting it running and driving, after realizing how mechanically fucked up it was decided to build and swap a big block into it, then had a tube chassis built. then realized there is little to no aftermarket suspension to handle that motor, i am now building a swing arm/ a arm style front end. the firewall has been pushed back 5 inches, roll cage installed, straight axle rear end. i just plan on driving the hell out of it, maybe some track stuff.

Brian. Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 It's definitely not a big block. I can tell just by looking at the xhaust manifold. This is a small block. Probably a 400CI. Here's the difference: small block, the 2 middle exhaust ports are toghether/really close Big block, the ports are evenly spaced. Not trying to be an asshole, just clarifying. None the less this is a cool build. I'm also a chevy guy. I owned a 1976 Chevy C10 stepside with a 406CI stroker motor. prostock cams, built up valvetrain, billet crank, custom cam, etc.In for this though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I build engines for a living and have worked in an engine shop for ten years. It is not a Chevy. What you are saying about Chevy small and big blocks is correct. It is a gm and the brand of gm it is, it is considered a big block. I chose this because of the downward facing exhaust ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Gm/Chevy= practically the exact same.. Comes out of the same factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyletime666 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Gm/Chevy= practically the exact same.. Comes out of the same factoryAgreed. Same basic design but this motor came out of a pontiac. Chevy and pontiac don't use the same motors. It is a big block pontiac. The head design is completely different.

Brian. Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Earl, you can restate your same comment all you want. But when most people say a GM/GENERAL MOTORS "big block V8" Everyone goes, GMC/CHEVY. The pontiac route is rarely gone over. So yeah, I'll accept I was wrong. But just because he's done motors for 10 years, doesn't mean he's always right. An anyone from the SBC/BBC area could have made the same mistake I did. Because that's what most GM SBC's look like.
