I'm not sure if I should post this or not. On one hand, what's more HAMB friendly than a 12 Port Wayne Chevy? But by the end of it it's indistinguishable from some late model turbo injected engines. It's like finding a cherry old 32 3 window and loading it up with billet. No doubt there will be a mixed reaction, maybe the mods will delete the thread? There's some astounding engineering, and a few tricks I've never seen, so certainly worth watching for the technical aspects of building an old Stovebolt.
I thought that the stovebolts referred to the screws used on the full panel on the passenger side of the block.
so ...... how much per horsepower????? The idea of boring out the main bearings and using later bearings makes sense to me, as the originals are all different sizes.
That is one incredible piece of engineering artwork and craftsmanship ! Thanks for sharing that video !
Some interesting things going on internally but why? That engine is so far away from being a BlueFlame 261 they may as well bought a LT, LS, E-I-E-I-O engine. I don't build BlueFlame 6 engines because I want to make crazy horse power, I build them because I want to recrate and respect the past.
