262 Small Block Chevy Score- What To Do?

Let me educate you if I may wipe the block down with pb blaster( in my day it came in screw top cans, lifter ticking? Pour about a coffee mug worth in the oil) wrap in burlap, bury in garden for about 6 months ( it strengthens the cast, ol moonshiner trick we used to do the nailheads) get a 250 straight 6, piston rods are 5.7 bore her .43, drop in a set of flats from a 327, heads from a 350 vortec, (87, 88, 89 especially if from firebird, Camero, corvette, surburban, 2500 Silverado ) if you get lucky enough to find a 85 to 87 firebird you'll have to deck and angle the heads and use the intake from firebird) balanced blueprinted you'll have a beast trust and believe me, mom had a 65 chevelle 300 but dad redid heads to 191 and 165 or 170 and dropped a tri barrel intake from my sisters gto

 

Put that crank in a 400 block with 6" rods and stock 400 pistons. You have 331 cu pistons would only .005 higher than stock.

 

I really hope this is a new year's day joke.

 

Somebody had one hell of a New Years eve...

 

Starting out the New Year right with a newbie resurrecting a 14 year old useless thread with total nonsense. Nice.

 

I would, however, like to know who makes the adapters to bolt a Pontiac intake manifold to a small block Chevrolet.

 

Easy ... swap the Pontiac heads on too. Chev and Pontiac blocks came from the same mother so ... how hard could it be??

First you find a 350 Chev block then find 350 Pontiac heads and intake .... sheesh, no rocket surgeons on this site huh

 

Yeah, I guess that the bolt holes on the Pontiac heads would serve as guides when drilling new holes in the Chevrolet block.

 

I truly hope you are kidding

When installing Pontiac heads on a Chev block you simply use the method Buick (yes, another brother from the same mother) used a while back ... ever heard of a Buick "Nail Head" engine. No drilling or threading needed bud, just a good hammer and a box of Buick nails

Best to find NOS or used original, the imported stuff tends to bend.

(jeeze, this site make me feel like I am a kindergarten teacher ... "Jimmy, take your finger OUT of your nose NOW).

 

Yes, I was kidding.

 

You could just eliminate the bolts, lotta goop then press the head down, weld it up. Should work?

 

Think this was the key reasoning behind this post.

 

OR...lots of those big c clamp style Vise Grips.

 

I have built some 348 SBCs using 400 blocks and 327 cranks. But when I put the numbers to a 3.1 stroke crank and it works with a 6 inch rod and stock pistons I always liked short stroke motors and to would have a great rod to stroke ratio.

 

Keep the crank.... That's a 3.10" little stroker.....

 

Brilliant! You should be a writer
