On the 2-piece seal (in the interest of preventing rear main leaks), I highly recommend "clocking" the mating surface of the two main seal halves- i.e. 8 and 2 o'clock instead of inline with the same mating surface of the oil pan. An old school racer taught me that some 30+ years ago, and it has never let me down.

The center bolt valve cover one piece engines are just as buildable. You are 100% correct! The only thing I seen you forgot to mention is some of the newer blocks are sealed-off where you would normally bolt on a manual fuel pump.

I'm a boater and have built a 383 from a 350. The main differences are that the boat engine is always under load so the ring clearances and piston side clearances are like a truck engine. And boat cams need to be designed to prohibit reversion. Quick explaination of why reversion is bad in boats... When the exhaust valve is still open as the intake stroke begins, there is a bit of overlap when both valves are open. During idle some exhaust can get pulled back into the combustion chamber. This is no big deal with non boat engines. They can use a big cam and get more power with cool noises. But boat engines use water cooled exhaust. The water is added to the exhaust after it exits the heads and goes up through a casting, then turns downward and to the rear. During lower rpm this reversion pulse in the exhaust can pull water into the engine if the cam isn't right.

Good video. I am in the middle of a build using a 1993 350 in a 1983 Chevy 4X4. There were two notable differences other than the rear main. The 4 center intake bolts are at a different angle so you can't use an older intake I bought an edelbrock 3706 performer to switch back to 83 emissions using a carb instead of the injection. Also there is no ports drilled through the engine block to receive a fuel pump but if you need they sell jigs for doing it. I like the bolts in the intake better because they come out easier and I don't mind using an electric pump as those mechanicals were a bit of a pain to get to. No more greasing the rod! ;^D

for alittle tid bit of info. port is left, both 4 letters, also port wine is red so the port running light is red. the right side is starboard, green light. in the very old days the steering board or rudder was mounted on the starboard side. the right side was originally called the steer board side and sometime it was changed to starboard. so when you were entering "port" you brought the port side to the dock. if you docked on the starboard side you haD A GOOD chance of hitting the rudder.

I was working at a GM dealer shop in the early to mid 1980s and 2 piece Chevy rear main seals were never a big problem. I remember replacing a few, I guess, but not very often. One piece seals are a little more tolerant of a worn rear main bearing before leaking maybe. Worn main bearings and rear main seal leaks go hand in hand. Bad PCV valves, too.
@dragonlips2005

I think that's because most folks in the early 80's more or less expected their cars to leak oil. Oil seepage on the driveway and in the garage was commonplace back then. The mentality of the consumer was not to return the car to the dealer for slow oil drips.

The quality of American cars in general was abysmal during those years, but we made a lot of money back then adjusted for inflation because the cars sucked so badly and needed repairs so often. Air conditioner / HVAC repairs on GM vehicles alone put a lot of dollars in our pockets back then on the old R12 systems.

@@savageshooter2248 Like he said, you don’t have to drop or lift the crankshaft. Once the cap is removed, you can tap the seal halve around and pull it out. The other halve on the cap of course is easily swapped. I personally prefer a 2pc. I’ve recently built two SBCs and sourced 0010 blocks with 2pc seals. It’s my preference for my personal trucks. The seal shouldn’t leak. But if it ever does, it’s relatively easy to replace it. No need to pull a transmission (and transfer case if 4wd) out!

Well it's a old style 2 piece seal rear main cap with a old style crank shaft. So I assume you can run a older crank in the newer blocks and use a two piece rear main?

Bobo mcrae depends on your heads how they flow what your bore size is bigger cam wont help if your heads can’t take and get rid of the extra flow and the 202 is your intake valve not your exhaust valve you have to know what your heads can flow at a certain lift divide your intake flow into you exhaust flow will give you your percentage difference of flow between valves times that by .26 will give you your power per cylinder times that by 8 to get total power then times that by you flow percentage to come up with the round about true power then times that by say 20 percent .20 to figure out what you will get at wheels these are round about numbers but the math I stated is what you do to figure out power of. A certain build lot pays into it bore size header tube size so say if you have a 4.155 bore to start and you punch out to 4.185 bore you add 17 percent to your bore size then you need to add that to what ever your heads flow say if you head flow 320 at 600 lift 320x.17= 54 so your new value is 374 at 600 lift for your intake side And your exhaust flows 280 at 600 lift 280x.17= 307 307 divided by 374=82 percent of flow so now you take your 374x .26=97.24hp per cylinder times that by 8 =777.92 Hp now times that by your 82 percent would = 637 true hp at the crank now times that by 20percent power loss of drive train would = 127 hp loss you would have around 510 hp to the wheels these are example numbers just find out what your heads flow at any given lift and go from there but that is formula to find horse power of any engine and it will very 10-20 hp either way on a dyno it is normally on the higher side hope this helps

What is the difference between a "marine" engine and an automotive engine...I am a boat owner and my boat has a a chevy 350 265 hp single engine or "single screw"...but I wondered is there a difference in the block or is it that they are just set up differently as far as the cooling and manifolds...I know your a hot rod guy and not a boater and thats cool...but I wonder why when you go to buy a 350 chevy motor they specify "marine" engine for a boat (by the way they charge for that moniker) or is it that they just say that to beat you up at the marine mechanics shops...just wondered.

I just been wondering about the interchangeable parts between the LT-1 and gen 1 SBC. I guess the crank rods and pistons are the same. but that's all I know can a carb intake be swapped on the LT1/LT4 engines. will the LT heads fit older model engines? I would like to build a 302/LT4 basically. rev to like 8,500. with a turbo or two. in a gen 3 F-Body. with a t56, and 3.73-4.10 gears. witch is what I want to do with my firebird with my stroker 385. if I ever get it in the car. thanks

James stranger, the LT motors had a reverse flow cooling system which makes them incompatible with the GEN I 350 SBC. The internal rotating assembly and valve train (lifters/rockers) might be the only compatible parts with the GEN I SBC 350.

Question....someone has to have had this problem? ....I have 1986 350-383 stroker blue printed and balanced. The balced crank requires a 2 piece. I've replaced rear main correctly 2 times with oil small dribble after running the car. Any suggestions? I've used dry felpro, measured, put lip to oil...

it will fit fine the only thing you need to change is the flex plate the back of the crank has a different bolt pattern the ring gear and torque convertor mounting holes are the same

'86 is also the year they introduced stock hydraulic roller lifters to their SBC lineup, saving loads of trouble of having to add ZDDP formula to every oil change. What's really nice is a lot of parts from the Vortec era can be carried over to the '86-'95 engine lineup, thus modernizing any engine you've been running for 30 years or more.

Yeah Ford did the same thing, they ran flat tappets for years way after the SBC blocks got rollers on some of their engines. Jeg's direct replacement truck motors still come with flat tappets, their Vortec models came with rollers, though now it seems they're phasing Vortec motors out in favor for crate performance engines. Rebuilt motors are gonna be the cheapest way to go in order to get a stock engine with hydraulic rollers.

Skyline Fever, the raised boss tower is cast in the galley and can be drilled and tapped for the spider hold down. Very easy to make those motors into a roller cam motor.
@MidnightMechanic
@MidnightMechanic 7 жыл бұрын
Yeah you don't even have to go that far, just get roller lifters that are paired together with a control arm, that arm keeps the lifters from spinning in their bores so the rollers are always in line with the cam.
